Abstract
Wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) are a new and emerging type of sensor networks that contain sensor nodes equipped with cameras, microphones, and other sensors producing multimedia content. These networks have the potential to enable a large class of applications, ranging from assisting elderly in public spaces to border protection, that benefit from the use of numerous sensor nodes that deliver multimedia content. In this chapter, we investigate some of the new technology’s potential and describe typical characteristics of WMSNs. Then, we introduce the primary challenges in the state-ofthe- art in WMSNs. Finally, we discuss the existing solutions and possible future research trends.

Advanced Emergency Response Management in Smart Environments
An integration process, which allows combining different kind of data coming from heterogeneous sensors. The goal is to obtain as output a consistent, accurate and useful representation of data integrated. The most known data fusion model is the JDL (Joint Directors of Laboratories) which offers a multi-level functionality that describes how processing is organized in a data fusion system. It is recognized as a de facto standard in data fusion and is likely to remain so for the near future.
