Recent development in visual sensor technologies has encouraged various researches on adding imaging capabilities to sensor networks. Video data are bigger than other sensor data, so it is essential to manage the amount of image data efficiently. In this paper, a new method of video traffic estimation is proposed for efficient traffic management of visual sensor networks. In the proposed method, a first order autoregressive model is used for modeling the traffic with the consideration of the characteristics of video traffics acquired from visual sensors, and a Kalman filter algorithm is used to estimate the amount of video traffics. The proposed method is computationally simple, so it is proper to be applied to sensor nodes. It is shown by experimental results that the proposed method is simple but estimate the video traffics exactly by less than 1% of the average.

Due to the advances in hardware technologies for low-power CMOS cameras, there have been various researches on wireless video sensor network(WVSN) applications including agricultural monitoring and environmental tracking. In such a system, its core technologies include video compression and wireless transmission. Since data of video sensors are bigger than those of other sensors, it is particularly necessary to estimate precisely the traffic after video encoding. In this paper, we present an estimation method for the encoded video traffic in WVSN networks. To estimate traffic characteristics accurately, the proposed method first measures complexities of frames and then applies them to the bit rate estimation adaptively. It is shown by experimental results that the proposed method improves the estimation of bit rate characteristics by more than 12% as compared to the existing method.

최근 무선 센서 네트워크는 멀티미디어 센서 노드에서 비디오나 이미지와 같은 멀티미디어 데이터 수집을 바탕으로 고품질의 모니터링을 수행한다. 그러나 멀티미디어 데이터는 크기가 매우 크므로 데이터 전송 과정에서 특정 노드에 과도한 에너지 소모를 야기하여 전체 네트워크 수명이 감소하는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 점을 고려하여, 본 논문에서는 무선 멀티미디어 센서 네트워크에서 고효율 데이터 압축 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법에서는 멀티미디어 데이터의 특성을 고려한 낮은 순위 비트 데이터 삭제 기반의 1단계 압축 및 중국인의 나머지 정리 기반의 2단계 압축으로 구성된 다중 압축을 수행함으로써 데이터 크기를 감소시킨다. 성능평가 결과, 기존 압축 기법에 비해 데이터 전송률이 평균 약 56% 감소하였다.

Awireless sensor network utilizes small sensors with a low cost and low power being deployed over a wide area. They monitor the surrounding environment and gather the associated information to transmit it to a base station via multi-hop transmission. Most of the research has mainly focused on static sensors that are located in a fixed position. Unlike a wireless sensor network based on static sensors, we can exploit drone-based technologies for more efficient wireless networks in terms of coverage and energy. In this paper, we introduce a transmission power model and a video encoding power model to design the network environment. We also explain a priority mapping scheme, and deploy drones oriented for network coverage and energy consumption. Through our simulations, this research shows coverage and energy improvements in adrone-based wireless sensor network with fewer sensors, compared to astatic sensor-based wireless sensor network. Concretely, coverage increases by 30% for thedrone-based wireless sensor network with the same number of sensors. Moreover, we save an average of 25% with respect to the total energy consumption of the network while maintaining the coverage required.

해저보행로봇 CR200은 여러 개의 관절로 이루어진 6개의 다리를 이용하여 해저면에서 보행으로 이동하며 해저 정밀탐사 및 작업을 수행하는 로봇으로, 케이블로 연결된 선상제어실에서 원격 제어된다. CR200 시스템에서는 16개의 카메라가 장착될 예정이며, 취득된 카메라의 영상은 선상제어실의 비디오 컴퓨터로 전송되어 모니터링 및 녹화된다. 설계된 비디오 시스템에서 영상 전송은 전자기 간섭에 의한 화질 열화를 최소화하기 위하여 기가비트의 대역폭을 가진 이더넷과 광케이블을 통하여 디지털 형태로 전송되며, 아날로그 카메라의 영상은 비디오 인코더를 사용하여 디지털 영상으로 변환된 후에 전송된다. 본 논문에서는 CR200의 비디오 시스템의 설계를 소개하고, 실제로 제작하기 전에 설계된 비디오 시스템을 검증하기 위하여 테스트베드를 사용한 통합 테스트 결과를 제시한다. 아직 준비되지 않은 카메라에 대해서는 아이패드의 아날로그 영상 출력을 비디오 인코더의 입력으로 전달하여, 설계된 모든 카메라들이 동작하는 상황을 테스트베드로 실험하였다. 16개 카메라의 영상이 모니터링 및 녹화되는 상황을 테스트베드로 실험한 결과에 따르면, 압축률 10%의 H.264 동영상 압축 알고리즘을 사용할 경우에 30fps 영상의 모니터링 및 녹화에 각각 60Mbps의 전송량으로 비디오 시스템이 정상적으로 동작하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 비디오 데이터의 전송은 센서 및 제어 데이터의 전송과 같은 네트워크를 사용하지만, 비디오 데이터의 기가비트 네트워크 사용률은 평균 12%이기 때문에 비디오 데이터 전송으로 인하여 데이터 통신은 거의 영향을 받지 않는다.

Recently, many researches have been focused on multi-view video applications and services such as wireless video surveillance networks, wireless video sensor networks and wireless mobile video. In multi-view video signal processing, to exploit the strong correlation between images acquired by different cameras plays great role in developing a core technique of multi-view video coding. This paper proposes an adaptive multi-view video interpolation technique which is applicable for multi-view distributed video coding without requiring any cooperation amongst the cameras. The proposed algorithm estimates the non-linear moving blocks and employs disparity compensated view prediction, and then fills in the unreliable blocks. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the proposed method outperforms the conventional methods.

Many modules such as controller, sensor, telematics terminal, navigation, audio and video are connected each other via vehicle network (CAN, MOST, etc). Futhermore, users can have ITS or internet services in moving by connecting to wireless mobile network. These network capabilities can cause a lots of security issues such as data hacking, privacy violation, location tracking and so on. Some possibilities which raise a breakdown or accident by hacking vehicle operation data (sensor, control data) are on the increase. In this paper, we propose a security module which has encryption functionalities and can be used for vehicle network system such as CAN, MOST, etc. This security module can provide conventional encryption algorithms and digital signature processing functionality such as DES, 3-DES, SEED, ECC, and RSA.

Future combat systems can be represented as the NCW (Network Centric Warefare), which is based on the concept of Sensor-to-Shooter. A wireless video sensor networking technology, one of the core components of NCW, has been actively applied for the purpose of tactical surveillance. In such a surveillance sensor network, multi-composite sensors, especially consisting of image sensors are utilized to improve reliability for intrusion detection and enemy tracing. However, these sensors may cause a problem of requiring very high network capacity and energy consumption. In order to alleviate this problem, this paper proposes an image data transmission scheme based on resource reservation. The proposed scheme can make it possible to have more reliable image data transmission by choosing proper multiple interfaces, while trying to control resolution and compression quality of image data based on network resource availability. By the performance analysis using NS-3 simulation, we have confirmed the transmission reliability as well as energy efficiency of the proposed scheme.
