A surveillance wireless camera sensor network system for intrusion detection using image processing techniques

Abstract

Surveillance systems are becoming critical part of our society and they play major roles in monitory of critical infrastructure, streets, public buildings, private buildings, properties etc. Policing and visual evidence gathering has supported and changed the way our judicial systems use supporting evidence in passing verdicts. Warfare are being changed by such systems as well. Wireless sensor networks are playing key roles in how we pick information from our physical environments and analyze them and the dawn of internet of things has open up new opportunities in using sensors in making life better. Its advantage can be seen from monitory of air pollution, temperature conditions in freezer and homes, wearable health devices etc. Yet special devices are being developed to meet these ever increasing technologies. Cameras for surveillance activities are developed with surveillance capabilities and making old monitory cameras fade away from the system. Hence an integration approach is needed to integrate and make sensing properties present in those old systems. In other to contribute to the field of security and surveillance, we proposed a new approach of using disparate camera devices with or without image processing techniques and built an image sensor based application to give capabilities to these systems as well as reduce latency at the end nodes during surveillance activities. This means that any off-the-shelf camera can be bought and plugged in into our proposed system which will have sensing ability based on our proposed method. We design the system and implemented it as well as performed analysis on them. � 2006-2015 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
