In order to improve area coverage rate of wireless multimedia sensor networks（ WMSNs）

after sensor nodes are randomly deployed

by regulating sensing direction of sensor nodes

enable node rotates from perception overlapping areas to cover blind areas

so as to enhance network coverage rate. Aiming at problem of existing algorithms that coverage efficiency and covering rate can’t be unified

propose an improved virtual force algorithm related with coverage redundancy（ VFARCR）

the algorithm using sensor nodes to sense repulsion between the centroid point of fan-shaped area

adjust sensing direction

and size of direction adjusting is determined by coverage redundancy

virtual force and coverage redundancy control rotating of sensor collectively. Simulation results show that the algorithm improves coverage efficiency and coverage effect and improve performance of virtual force covering algorithm.
