CmpE 491 and/or 492 Projects for Fall 2008 offered by Cem Ersoy

    1. Implementing a Video Sensor Network using Sensor Kits (NVSN-Netlab Video Sensor Network): A Video Sensor Network in Netlab will be implemented using the available Crossbow Mote and GENETLAB Sensor Kits. Sensors are running Tiny OS. Kits have PC compatible data acquisition boards. The project will start by exploring the video capabilities of the available sensor nodes. The project has the necessary budget for purchasing new video cameras if necessary. Experiments will involve both sensing/video and communications aspects of the sensor nodes. Algorithms implemented in Netlab, such as power efficient routing, perimeter surveillance applications will be tested on the network.
     

    Notes for Scaring the Unwilling and Lazy:

    1. CmpE 475/476/477 are strongly recommended.

    2. Performance evaluation and implementation projects will result in long working hours in NETLAB.
    3. Willingness for hard work is a must since all of these are difficult problems.
