Spatio-Temporal Correlation in Sensor Data Compress data to reduce storage and communication bandwidth! BAE Systems Meeting
A Distributed Algorithm for Waking-up in Heterogeneous Sensor Networks Detecting tripwires run distributed algorithm => choose K optimal trackers Event occurs N tripwires detect event wake-up chosen trackers RESULTS BAE Systems Meeting
False Alarm Detection in Wireless Sensor Network Binary subband search Linear search is slow • It is possible detected signal is due to noise • Processing such noise data leads to unnecessary use of resources • False alarm detection help to save energy significantly • In search iteration, pick the subband with larger energy and compare with a threshold • Negative if greater than the threshold • Report false alarm in the end Energy in subbands are evenly distributed (no variation) BAE Systems Meeting
Structural Health Monitoring • Goal: Design sensor networks for improving the safety of structures (buildings, bridges, ships, aircraft, spacecraft) • Research focuses: • Local excitation based damage identification • System components for fine-grain structural monitoring • Multi-disciplinary effort: • John Caffrey (CE),Ramesh Govindan (CS),Erik Johnson (CE),Bhaskar Krishnamachari (EE),Sami Masri (CE),Gaurav Sukhatme (CS) BAE Systems Meeting
