Hands-Free Video Phone System Based on Visual Sensor Networks

Coverage Quality in Visual Sensor Networks

Is a hands-free phone safer than a handheld phone?

INTRODUCTION Although it is becoming more and more accepted that driving while talking on a cell phone can be hazardous, most jurisdictions are making handheld phone use illegal while allowing hands-free phone use. METHODS The scientific literature exploring the effects of these two types of cell phone use on driving and driving-related performance is reviewed here. RESULTS Our review shows...

Sensor Mapping Platform Based on Cellular Phone Networks

Currently, we live in the Age of Information: nothing is worth more to companies than information. Companies such as Google and Facebook have made billions by gathering data from the internet. An example of such is Google's AdSense which infers the reader's interests by matching the content of the currently viewed web pages to relevant advertisement. [15] By focusing on key words of a web site,...

A Lightweight Intrusion Detection System Based on Specifications to Improve Security in Wireless Sensor Networks

Due to the prevalence of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in the many mission-critical applications such as military areas, security has been considered as one of the essential parameters in Quality of Service (QoS), and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is considered as a fundamental requirement for security in these networks. This paper presents a lightweight Intrusion Detection System to prote...

Improving Energy-Efficient Target Coverage in Visual Sensor Networks

Target coverage is one of the important problems in visual sensor networks. The coverage should be accompanied with an efficient use of energy in order to increase the network lifetime. In this paper, we address the maximum lifetime for visual sensor networks (MLV) problem by maximizing the network lifetime while covering all the targets. For this purpose, we develop a simulated annealing (SA) ...
