Smart Sensing and Tracking with Video and Mote Sensor Collaboration

Automatic extraction of actionable intelligence from collaborative sensors in a framework that supports seamless exchange of extracted information across sensor layers while leveraging the human in the loop is the focus our proposal. Depending upon the specific end-user, data extracted from the battlefield areas represent two major categories: information requiring and subject to further analyses, and information that is highly time-dependent. Our proposed effort tries to address both information paths to provide easily recognized information at the hands of front-line personnel thereby promoting accuracy in pursuit of mission objectives.
