Description & Coverage
Description:

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have many applications ranging from environmental monitoring, security management, and medical applications to smart homes.

Visual Information Processing in Wireless Sensor Networks: Technology, Trends and Applications provides a central source of reference on visual information processing in wireless sensor network environments and its technology, application, and society issues. This book is an important resource for researchers and academics working in the interdisciplinary domains of wireless sensor network technology and multimedia technology and its related areas, which include image processing, pervasive computing, embedded systems, and computer networks.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Applications of Wireless Sensor Networks
  • Motion Tracking
  • Multimedia Transmission over Wireless Sensor Networks
  • Multipath Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
  • Secure Data Aggregation
  • Video Compression
  • Visual Sensor Network Processing
  • Visual Sensor Networks
  • Visual Surveillance
  • Wireless Camera Networks
Reviews & Statements

While there are other books on wireless sensor networks, few provide a primary focus for discussing the specific challenges for visual information processing in wireless sensor network environments. This book contains 16 chapters including an opening chapter to introduce the reader to this area.
