In this paper, we are presenting a data flow and fault management architecture, developed for an event driven wireless sensor network used in landslide surveillance. Our concept system collects landslide data using a dedicated wireless sensor network. The WSN was configured with tree architecture and contains one gateway, relay nodes, and multiple end nodes. The WSN components were distributed in...
The miniaturization and cost reduction of sensors is encouraging its wide spreading and application in diverse usage areas. The use of multiple types of sensors can improve the current surveillance systems, by reducing false positives, extending the type of detected events and increasing system's redundancy. Also, geo-location is becoming more precise and available at lower costs, thus enabling its...
Surveillance systems are evolving and analog cameras give way to IP cameras, wireless sensors are used in home surveillance, remote mobile phones access to video surveillance is current practice, but the concept itself, of “surveillance systems”, has not evolved accordingly. Control rooms are still the heart of operations, where several security guards spread their attention over an array of monitors,...
Surveillance systems are in constant development and its dependence of humans although dwindling, it is still significant. On the other hand a constant evolution and adaptation of robots to perform tasks traditionally performed by humans it is also been witnessed. Using the advantage of these fields an architecture and a protocol to facilitate the integration of an autonomous robot as active agent...
This study is focused on a new approach for addressing the trade-off between accuracy and energy-efficiency of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Although a number of previous studies have focused on various special topics in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks in detail, to best of our knowledge, none presents a fuzzy multi-modal data fusion system, which is light-weight and provides a high accuracy...
The advancements of mobile technology and its widespread availability have redefined many computing paradigms including Human-centric sensing. Human-centric sensing has already been successfully implemented as integrated network architecture component in many operational intelligent systems in various industry areas such as defense, healthcare, energy or disaster management. The process of integration...
The success of contemporary surveillance systems depends on their cost and their ability to automatically and correctly interpret events that take place in an observed environment. Correct decisions enhance the situation awareness of an operator, while wrong ones lead to false or no alarms, damaging the system's credibility. In this paper a low-cost, secure, cloud-based surveillance system is described...
The increased popularity of the proactive security paradigm aggravated the need for distributed surveillance systems. These systems are built using smart sensor networks which cover large areas of civilian concentration. Such networks need intelligent management systems to control the large number of sensor nodes and the large volume of data. Sensor Management Frameworks (SMF) aim to coordinate the...
The increased popularity of the proactive security paradigm aggravated the need for pervasive surveillance systems. These systems are built using smart sensor networks which cover large areas of civilian concentration. Such networks need intelligent management systems to control the large number of sensor nodes and the large amount of data. Sensor Management Frameworks (SMF) aim to coordinate the...
A layered sensing system involves different layers of sensors with different capabilities in one integrated system. This research focuses on the development of a model for information fusion level of a layered sensing system using computing with words. In this research effort, we have proposed the addition of a new processing level to the Joint Directors of Laboratories (JDL) Fusion Model. The new...
This paper proposes a novel hierarchical mobile-agent-based Security Operation Center (HMSOC) to overcome traditional SOC vulnerability in a fixed location suffering single point of failure attack. Furthermore, each division has its own alert and aggregation methodology. By IDMEF, session and timer methods, data from various divisions are fused and correlated efficiently in our proposed HMSOC. A prototype...
Organized intelligent communications can effectively improve the surveillance quality for wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a decentralized Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) oriented system that adopts the BDI mental architecture for wireless sensor networks. It tunes the sensor operational parameters in order to reduce the power consumption upon the satisfactory of the situational awareness...
The testbed allows experimenting with highlevel distributed information fusion, dynamic resource management and configuration management given multiple constraints on the resources and their communication networks. The testbed provides general services that are useful for testing many information fusion applications. Services include a multi-layer plug-and-play architecture, and a general multi-agent...
This paper presents a simplified architectural description for the urban surveillance experiment under development within the URUS project. The description contains two views in the computational viewpoint that are also applicable to other classes of network robotics problems. These are a functional layer through which the system has basis operational capabilities, and a human layer that concentrates...
Activity-aware systems have inspired novel user interfaces and new applications in smart environments, surveillance, emergency response, and military missions. Systems that recognize human activities from body-worn sensors can further open the door to a world of healthcare applications, such as fitness monitoring, eldercare support, long-term preventive and chronic care, and cognitive assistance....
DRDC Valcartier has initiated, through a PRECARN partnership project, the development of an advanced simulation test bed called CanCoastWatch. The main focus of this test bed is to study net-enabled concepts such as distributed information fusion algorithms and architectures, dynamic resources and networks configuration management, and self-synchronising units and agents. The test bed allows the evaluation...
Huge interest and demand on information superhighway have pressed various telecommunications research fronts and lead to a new form of future Internet consisting of wired and wireless segments where resource-constrained devices such as palm pilots and sensors may become integral parts of the Internet rather than access-only platforms. One of the key design problems is the security in such heterogeneous...
The testbed MOSART presented in this paper constitutes one way of using an integration framework based on the high level architecture (HLA) for real-time and non real-time applications. The potential of the system is shown in a simple surveillance scenario, but the results indicate that MOSART can be used also for very complex scenarios with many different subsystems involved. The primary objective...
