WSN Distributed Event Detection - 2nd Fence Monitoring Experiment

Event detection is a major issue for applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In order to detect an event, a sensor network has to reliably identify which deployment-specific incident has occurred based on the raw data gathered by the sensors on the individual sensor nodes. We have developed an architecture for distributed event detection in WSNs that allows several sensor nodes
to collaborate in order to identify deployment-specific events.

This is a video of a potential use case of our system. We deployed 100 ScatterWeb MSB sensor nodes as a wireless alarm system on a fence of a construction site near our institute. The task of the WSN was to detect security relevant incidents by recognizing four previously trained patterns in the
lateral oscillation of the fence elements.
