| Abstract | A cardinal prerequisite for the system design of a sensor network, is to understand the geometric environment where sensor nodes are deployed. The global topology of a large-scale sensor network is often complex and irregular, possibly containing obstacles/holes. A convex network partition, so-called segmentation, is to divide a network into convex regions, such that traditional algorithms designed for a simple geometric region can be applied. Existing segmentation algorithms highly depend on concave node detection on the boundary or sink extraction on the medial axis, thus leading to quite sensitive performance to the boundary noise. More severely, since they exploit the network's 2D geometric properties, either explicitly or implicitly, so far there has been no general 3D segmentation solution. In this paper, we bring a new view to segmentation from a Morse function perspective, bridging the convex regions and the Reeb graph of a network. Accordingly, we propose a novel distributed and scalable algorithm, named CONSEL, for CONnectivity-based SEgmentation in Large-scale 2D/3D sensor networks. Specifically, several boundary nodes first perform flooding to construct the Reeb graph. The ordinary nodes then compute mutex pairs locally, thereby generating the coarse segmentation. Next the neighbor regions which are not mutex pair are merged together. Finally, by ignoring mutex pairs which leads to small concavity, we provide the constraints for approximately convex decomposition. CONSEL is more desirable compared with previous studies: (1) it works for both 2D and 3D sensor networks; (2) it only relies on network connectivity information; (3) it guarantees a bound for the regions' deviation from convexity. Extensive simulations show that CONSEL works well in the presence of holes and shape variation, always yielding appropriate segmentation results. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
