A web-based sensor network system with distributed data processing approach via web application

We have proposed a Web-based sensor network constructed of Web-based sensor nodes and a remote management system. The Web-based sensor nodes consist of communication units and measurement devices with Web servers. The management system has intelligent processing and rule-based function to manage them flexibly via the Internet and performs various image analyses easily with Web application services. By distributing the image analyses to Web application services, our proposed system provides versatile and scalable data processing. We demonstrated that it can realize the desired image analyses effectively and perform complicated management by changing its operations depending on the results of analysis.

Research highlights
► We proposed a Web-based sensor network to realize smart image monitoring.
► The sensor nodes with Web servers are managed by an Agent System at a remote site.
► The Agent System provides flexible operations and expansible data processing.
► Data processing is distributed to Web application services in this system.
► We evaluated the possibility and effectiveness of the system through experiments.
