This research deals with the design of a vision system for                 a specified task facilitated by sensor-placement techniques                     that efficiently compute the set of viewpoints from which a                     specified surface target is not occluded by any object in the                   environment and from which the entire target lies within the                    pyramidal field view of the sensor.  The target, which cannot                   be properly viewed by one sensor, is partitioned into a minimal                 number of components each of which is covered by one sensor.                    The following issues are addressed:  acceptable locations for                   triangulation range sensors; appropriate camera parameters                      (image plane, lens, and aperture diameter), given an                            approximate sensor location; sensor region for targets composed                 of curved surfaces; and the best viewpoint for a given task.
