Nowadays, people are using stealth sensors to detect intruders due to their low power consumption and wide coverage. It is very important to use lightweight sensors for detecting real time events and taking actions accordingly. In this paper, we focus on the design and implementation of wireless surveillance sensor network with acoustic and seismic vibration sensors to detect objects and/or events for area security in real time. To this end, we introduce a new environmental sensing based system for event triggering and action. In our system, we first design an appropriate hardware as a part of multimedia surveillance sensor node and use proper classification technique to classify acoustic and vibration data that are collected by sensors in real-time. According to the type of acoustic data, our proposed system triggers a camera event as an action for detecting intruder (human or vehicle). We use Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) feature extraction method for acoustic sounds and Support Vector Machines (SVM) as classification method for both acoustic and vibration data. We have also run some experiments to test the performance of our classification approach. We show that our proposed approach is efficient enough to be used in real life.

On the quality of deployment in wireless sensor networks
Onur, Ertan; Delic, H (2005-01-01)
When wireless sensors are used to keep an area under surveillance, a critical issue is the quality of the deployment from the sensing coverage viewpoint. In this paper, we propose several quality measures, which indicate if the deployment provides sufficient coverage, or whether redeployment is required or not. The terrain is modelled as a grid and the placement of the sensors is uniformly distributed. Neyman-Pearson detection is utilized to determine the effects of false alarm and signal characteristics on...
An Adaptive, energy-aware and distributed fault-tolerant topology-control algorithm for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks
Deniz, Fatih; Yazıcı, Adnan; Bağcı, Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2016)
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are being used in numerous fields, such as battlefield surveillance, environmental monitoring and traffic control. They are typically composed of large numbers of tiny sensor nodes with limited resources. Because of their limitations and because of the environments they are being used, there are problems unique to WSNs. Due to the error-prone nature of wireless communication, especially in harsh environments, fault-tolerance emerges as an important property in WSNs. Also, bec...
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...
Immune system-based energy efficient and reliable communication in wireless sensor networks
Atakan, Baris; Akan, Oezguer B. (2006-12-01)
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are event-based systems that rely on the collective effort of densely deployed sensor nodes. Due to the dense deployment, since sensor observations are spatially correlated with respect to location of sensor nodes, it may not be necessary for every sensor node to transmit its data. Therefore, due to the resource constraints of sensor nodes, it is imperative to select the minimum number of sensor nodes to transmit the data to the sink. Furthermore, to achieve the application-s...
Fuzzy Decision Fusion for Single Target Classification in Wireless Sensor Networks
Gok, Sercan; Yazıcı, Adnan; Coşar, Ahmet; George, Roy (2010-07-23)
With the advances in technology, low cost and low footprint sensors are being used more and more commonly. Especially for military applications wireless sensor networks (WSN) have become an attractive solution as they have great use for avoiding deadly danger in combat. For military applications, classification of a target in a battlefield plays an important role. A wireless sensor node has the ability to sense the raw signal data in battlefield, extract the feature vectors from sensed signal and produce a ...
