... The objectives of PTZ camera networks range from tracking to target image quality improvement, workspace visibility allocation, or a combination of those [2]. Target tracking in PTZ networks is a popular reconfiguration goal [6,8,19,20]. Specific PTZ reconfiguration solutions for tracking include Markov decision processes [21], and game theory [22,23]. A target image quality metric was implemented in [24], while a workspace visibility metric was used in [7,[25][26][27]. ...

... As a solution to these issues, several authors have suggested the use of fiducial markers to enhance the pose estimation process (Davison et al. 2007;Yamada et al. 2009;Klopschitz and Schmalstieg 2007;Shaya et al. 2012;Neunert et al. 2015). The SPM-SLAM method (Rafael et al. 2019) addresses some of the aforementioned limitations by utilizing squared fiducial markers instead of natural features. ...

... For multi-camera deployment, a good survey can be found in [11] for research at the earlier stage. Some recent results have also been reported in the literature [12], [13], [15], [16] and in a survey [17]. Although some feasible or near-optimal approaches are reported, the research on this topic is far from mature in application to realistic scenarios, epically when 3-D models are involved [17]. ...

... In Pascal Straub's thesis [130], we found that the most influential parameter for this function is the ratio of pixels in the view to be reconstructed, which are also visible in the remaining encoded views. Following Zhang et al. [13], who used that coverage to optimize the distribution of the movable cameras in their camera array for maximum image quality, we used the same definition from Mavrinac et al. [131]. They define the covered points in multi-camera systems C, as the points that are included in four sets: C V is the set of fully or partially visible points, C R denotes the points covered by a sufficient number of pixels, C F includes all points in focus and C D contains visible points based on the direction of the camera relative to the scene. ...

... It is desirable to eventually relax all three of these restrictions in further study on the topic. We also consider direct validation of the coverage model outside our scope, and direct the reader to our earlier validation work [Mavrinac et al. 2010a[Mavrinac et al. , 2010b[Mavrinac et al. , 2011. ...
