SENSE - Smart Embedded Network of Sensing Entities

01.09.2006 - 02.02.2011
Research funding project
The SENSE project (Smart Embedded Network of Sensing Entities) develops methods, tools and a test platform for the design, implementation and operation of smart adaptive wireless networks of embedded sensing components. The key innovative aspects are the methods by which the network perceives its environment, fuses these perceptions using local message passing to achieve local and global object recognition, and calibrates itself based on its environment. Challenges include perception, adaptation, and learning, as well as tools to diagnose and maintain a self-adapting distributed network of embedded components. A platform for a civil security monitoring system is developed as a test application, composed of video cameras and microphones. The test platform is installed in an airport, to yield real data and performance goals from a realistic test environment.
