Wireless integrated sensing, processing, and display networks for site security

We consider data management on ad hoc networks of sensing and processing nodes. We describe the construction of simple nodes from off the shelf components (PC 104 single board computers with flash memory, video capture cards and 802.1 lb wireless interfaces). We describe a Java interface to controlling these nodes and accessing images and image processing algorithms. We demonstrate target tracking across nodes and the potential for heterogeneous sensor types.
