Abstract EN
Visual sensor networks have emerged as an important class of sensor-based distributed intelligent systems, with unique performance, complexity, and quality of service challenges.
Consisting of a large number of low-power camera nodes, visual sensor networks support a great number of novel vision-based applications.
The camera nodes provide information from a monitored site, performing distributed and collaborative processing of their collected data.
Using multiple cameras in the network provides different views of the scene, which enhances the reliability of the captured events.
However, the large amount of image data produced by the cameras combined with the network's resource constraints require exploring new means for data processing, communication, and sensor management.
Meeting these challenges of visual sensor networks requires interdisciplinary approaches, utilizing vision processing, communications and networking, and embedded processing.
In this paper, we provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art in the field of visual sensor networks, by exploring several relevant research directions.
Our goal is to provide a better understanding of current research problems in the different research fields of visual sensor networks, and to show how these different research fields should interact to solve the many challenges of visual sensor networks.
