The wireless sensor networks (WSNs) come into prominence because they have the capability of changing our economy and life. A very vast range of applications supported by WSNs has served the human society very effectively; and, monitoring has been proven the most attention drawing application among these. As a tributary of sensor networks, Directional sensor networks (DSNs) consist of several camera sensors where nodes cover only a fraction of surrounding defined by a specific angle called vertex angle at a time. As sensors are randomly deployed, their sensing direction may overlap with one another and hence coverage optimization has become the most popular area for research over the years. In this paper , the problem of coverage is surveyed on the basis of the solutions proposed, and hence, classified into three categories as (1) Target coverage (2) Maximal coverage (subset of area coverage ) and (3) Maximum coverage with minimum sensors (subset of target coverage). The impact of various parameters of directional sensor networks as: sensor's location, its working direction, number of orientations, FoVs on the performance of the deployed sensor network is analyzed. Maximum coverage with minimum sensors (subset of target coverage)
