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 local classification result using a classifier. Although only one sensor is sufficient to produce a classification result, decision fusion of the local classification results for a number of sensor nodes improves classification accuracy. In our approach, we propose fuzzy decision fusion methods for single target classification in a WSN environment. Our proposed fusion algorithms use fuzzy logic for selecting the most appropriate sensor nodes to be used for classification. Our algorithms provide better classification accuracy over some popular decision fusion algorithms.

An Efficient fuzzy fusion-based framework for surveillance applications in wireless multimedia sensor networks Sert, Seyyit Alper; Yazıcı, Adnan; Coşar, Ahmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) 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 lo...
Use of Acoustic and Vibration Sensor Data to Detect Objects in Surveillance Wireless Sensor Networks Kucukbay, Selver Ezgi; SERT, MUSTAFA; Yazıcı, Adnan (2017-05-31) 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 tr...

Immune system based distributed node and rate selection in wireless sensor networks Atakan, Baris; Akan, Ozguer B. (2006-12-13) Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are event-based systems that rely on the collective effort of dense deployed sensor nodes. Due to the dense deployment, since sensor observations are spatially correlated with respect to spatial 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 needed to select the minimum number of sensor nodes to transmit the data to the sink. Furthermore, to achieve the application-...
