Abstract :
The recent technological advances have entrenched the potential benefits, when large population of wireless sensor nodes deployed in agricultural, industrial and environmental areas to predict the behavioral analysis of physical attributes such as temperature or gas. This work mainly focuses on the three dimensional temperature distribution of a specified field based on virtually deployed sensor nodes in a simulation environment. The parameters temperature and location are considered in the simulation model. In this work, we have evaluated the minimum number of nodes that are required to map the given space. Modeling & simulation has been dealt with in testing the network density on the space coverage. This work exploits a spatial correlation of temperature data in a given space. Finally the paper discusses the extension of approaches that leads to new research challenges due to the relationships between the obstacles within the environment.
