Abstract

We describe a distributed sensor network test-bed and a surveillance experiment to demonstrate the integration of distributed tracking algorithms with strategies for location estimation, energy management and mobility management of sensor nodes. The test-bed consists of real sensor nodes augmented with a simulated environment. Data from real world tracking is provided to the simulated environment, where it is used to self-organize the sensor network in an energy-efficient way. Results from the simulation are then fed back to the real world to enable the sensor network to reorganize for reinforced tracking.
