Abstract

Visual sensor networks (VSN) are considered among the most demanding future mesh networks. Typical applications include surveillance, monitoring & discovery, remote control. In this paper, we set up a laboratory environment, using the DRK8080 wireless mobile animated head system, and a number of stationary nodes, in order to study the case of streaming in VSN. Concerning robot navigation, the VFF and VFH approaches are followed. Experimental results are provided for the comparison of the well-known routing algorithms AODVand OLSR as they apply to the VSN.
