Previous advances in Information Technologies and especially in Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems, have made the Production and deployment of tiny, battery-powered nodes communicating over wireless links possible. Networks comprised of such nodes with sensing capability are called Wireless Sensor Networks. The early deployment aim was to use these nodes only in a passive way for indoor applications. These kinds of early nodes had the ability to sense scalar data such as temperature, humidity, pressure and location of surrounding objects. However, recently available sensor nodes have higher computation capability, higher storage space and better power solutions with respect to their predecessors. With these developments in addition to scalar data delivery, multimedia content has become the core focus. A wireless sensor network with multimedia capabilities is calledWireless Multimedia Sensor Network. There has always been a trade-o between accuracy and energy-e ciency in these new generation networks because of their resource-constrained nature. In this thesis we introduce a new approach to address this trade-o in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Although a number of previous studies have focused on various special topics in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks in detail, to the best of our knowledge, none presents a fuzzy multi-modal data fusion system, which is light-weight and provides a high accuracy ratio. Especially, a multi-modal data fusion system targeting surveillance applications make it inevitable to work within a multi-level hierarchical framework. In this thesis, our primary focus is on accuracy and e ciency by utilizing our framework. Along with the fuzzy fusion framework, a new fuzzy clustering algorithm, namely Multi-Objective Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm (MOFCA), is introduced and evaluated in detail as well.

Rule-based in-network processing for event-driven applications in wireless sensor networks Şanlı, Özgür; Yazıcı, Adnan; Körpeoğlu, İbrahim; Department of Computer Engineering (2011) Wireless sensor networks are application-specific networks that necessitate the development of specific network and information processing architectures that can meet the requirements of the applications involved. The most important challenge related to wireless sensor networks is the limited energy and computational resources of the battery powered sensor nodes. Although the central processing of information produces the most accurate results, it is not an energy-efficient method because it requires a cont...
A Survey on Multipath Routing Protocols for QoS Assurances in Real-Time Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks Hasan, Mohammed Zaki; Al-Rizzo, Hussain; Al-Turjman, Fadi (2017-01-01) The vision of wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) is to provide real-time multimedia applications using wireless sensors deployed for long-term usage. Quality of service assurances for both best effort data and real-time multimedia applications introduced new challenges in prioritizing multipath routing protocols in WMSNs. Multipath routing approaches with multiple constraints have received considerable research interest. In this paper, a comprehensive survey of both best effort data and real-time m...
Analysis and modeling of routing and security problems in wireless sensor networks with mathematical programming İncebacak, Davut; Baykal, Nazife; Bıçakcı, Kemal; Department of Information Systems (2013) Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are composed of battery powered small sensor nodes with limited processing, memory and energy resources. Self organization property together with infrastructureless characteristics of WSNs make them favorable solutions for many applications. Algorithms and protocols developed for WSNs must consider the characteristics and constraints of WSNs but since battery replenishment is not possible or highly challenging for sensor nodes, one of the major concerns in designing network p...
Path planning and localization for mobile anchor based wireless sensor networks Erdemir, Ecenaz; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) In wireless sensor networks, sensors with limited resources are distributed in a wide area. Localizing the sensors is an important problem. Anchor nodes with known positions are used for sensor localization. A simple and efficient way of generating anchor nodes is to use mobile anchors which have built-in GPS units. In this thesis, a single mobile anchor is used to traverse the region of interest to communicate with the sensor nodes and identify their positions. Therefore planning the best trajectory for th...
Query based energy efficient clustering methods for wireless sensor networks Koşar, Onur; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2011) In Wireless Sensor Networks, designing a low overhead routing protocol is crucial for prolonging network lifetime. Wireless sensor nodes depend on limited batteries and if they run out of battery, they cannot contribute to the sensing. There are lots of studies aimed at prolonging network lifetime. One of the methods to extend life time of the wireless sensor networks is clustering. In clustering approaches main aim is to prevent unnecessary messaging and decrease number of messages exchanged by aggregating...
