Abstract

The objective of the study was to substantiate a model for the spatial mapping of motion detection zones based on the fusion of radar and optical data. The methodology encompassed bibliographic synthesis, logical modeling, sensor synchronization, projection of the data onto a common coordinate grid, and computation of a cell reliability index. The results are presented as a model that partitions space into stable, conditionally reliable, uncertain, and blind zones; in the worked example, the share of reliable coverage was 65%. The proposed approach can be applied in traffic monitoring, perimeter security, industrial safety, and the preliminary auditing of sensor system configurations.
