A WSN architecture design for fast moving objects tracking

The work scenario foresees a large number of fast moving targets and several cameras within a predefined area. Each camera temporarily zooms into one particular target according to some predefined optimization criteria and, forwards its information data-stream to a Control Station (CS). In short, the classical camera-man in the field can be omitted. The task is to estimate the instant position of each target. This information is then used to generate control commands for the respective video-camera to zoom on this particular target. The paper focuses on the navigation communication (NA VCOM) integration architecture. Moreover, a detailed description of the network architecture will be presented; the integration of hardware will be realized and analyzed. The performance of the proposed scheme will be measured and analyzed with the aid of field tests.
