Coordinating aerial robots and unattended ground sensors for intelligent surveillance systems

摘要: Sensor networks are being used to implement different types of sophisticated emerging applications, such as those aimed at supporting ambient intelligence and surveillance systems. This usage is enhanced by employing sensors with characteristics in terms sensing, computing mobility capabilities, working cooperatively the network. However, design deployment these heterogeneous systems present several issues that have be handled order meet user expectations. The main problems related nodes' interoperability overall resource allocation, both inter intra nodes. first problem requires a common platform abstracts heterogeneity provides smooth communication, while second cooperation mechanisms supported platform. Moreover, nodes supposed heterogeneous, customizable required support rich poorer paper analyses based on sensor network, which composed lowend ground autonomous aerial robots, i.e. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), carrying kinds sensors. approach proposed this work tackles two above mentioned using hardware middleware interoperability. Experimental results also provided.
