iMouse: An integrated mobile surveillance and wireless sensor system

Abstract

With their environment-sensing capability, wireless sensor networks can enrich human life in applications such as healthcare, building monitoring, and home security. The iMouse system integrates WSN technologies into surveillance technologies to support intelligent mobile surveillance services. The authors suggest several ways to improve or extend iMouse. One option is to facilitate mobile sensor navigation by, for example, integrating localization schemes to guide mobile sensors instead of using color tapes. A second option is to exploit coordination among mobile sensors, especially when they're on the road.
