In order to extract detailed information about the environment, multimedia sensor networks are becoming popular nowadays. However, due to unique properties of multimedia data delivery, we face novel challenges for resource-constrained sensor networks. Because of the high bandwidth demands of multimedia frames, the transmission of raw data collected at sensor nodes is costly. On the other hand, processing limitations prohibit the use of sophisticated multimedia processing at individual nodes to reduce the amount of data that needs to be communicated. In this paper, we present a novel framework for multimedia processing in wireless sensor networks considering needs of surveillance video applications. In our framework, automatically extracted moving objects are treated as intruder's events and their positions are exploited for efficient communication. We then apply joint processing of collected data at the sink to identify events using fuzzy memberships and decide the actual multimedia data to be sent from sensors to sink.

Energy-Aware Data Delivery Framework for Safety-Oriented Mobile IoT
Al-Turjman, Fadi (2018-01-01)
The proliferation of wireless multimedia sensor networks has given rise to intelligent transportation systems as a mobile data-sharing model. This vision can be extended under the umbrella of the mobile Internet of Things to include versatile resources, such as smartphones, radio frequency identification tags, and sensors on roads that can be utilized in emergency situations. The facilitation of such a vision faces key challenges in terms of interoperability, resource management and energy consumption. In t...
A Graph Based Big Data Model for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks
Küçükkeçeci, Cihan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2016-10-08)
Wireless multimedia sensor networks are of interest to researchers from different disciplines and many studies have been proposed in a wide variety of application domains, such as military surveillance systems, environmental monitoring, fault monitoring and distributed smart cameras in the last decade. In a wireless sensor network, a large number of sensors can be deployed to monitor target areas and autonomously collect sensor data. This produces a large amount of raw data that needs to be stored, processe...
Lightweight Object Localization with a Single Camera in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks
Oztarak, Hakan; Akkaya, Kemal; Yazıcı, Adnan (2009-12-04)
Advances in wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) stimulated interest in designing lightweight solutions in terms of processing and energy consumption for traditional problems due to severe resources constraints on camera sensors. Finding the exact object location is one of such traditional problems which has been well studied in the past. However, the proposed solutions mostly involve complex processing with multiple cameras and thus cannot be applied to surveillance applications which need to be dep...

Finding sensing coverage and breach paths in wireless sensor networks
Onur, Ertan; Delic, H (2004-01-01)
Most of the recent studies on wireless sensor networks deal with the communication coverage. However, for the surveillance wireless sensor networks, sensing coverage is an open research area. In this paper, the sensing coverage area of surveillance wireless sensor networks is studied. The sensing coverage is determined by applying Neyman-Pearson Detection Model and Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm is applied to find the weakest breach path. Although individually not enough, breach probability is an approp...
