Design and implementation of a wireless video sensor network

As a new research field in wireless sensor network (WSN), wireless video sensor network (WVSN) makes surveillance multifunctional and intelligent, with rich and intuitive sensing information. It attracts more and more researchers' attention. We design and implement a wireless video sensor network prototype system, using WIFI as the wireless communication solution and CMOS video camera as the front-end sensor. The wireless video node adopts ARM11 based embedded platform. As back-end processing algorithm, the node realizes moving object detection. Finally, we verify the sensor network system. WIFI network can transmit video sequences smoothly. The moving object detection algorithm performs well.
