The document discusses research opportunities in wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSN). It describes how aggregating image and sensor data over wireless networks can have applications across many fields from military to healthcare. It provides examples of research areas like wireless ad hoc networks, sensor networks, and using multimedia like images for novel solutions. The document then describes the features and applications of a WMSN equipment board that allows active experimentation across various wireless networking technologies to develop distributed applications and pervasive computing systems using sensor and image data.

1. The scope of research includes
and interdisciplinary research topics from Electrical, Electronics and Computer
engineering and Management. Aggregating sophisticated sensing with image data form wireless multimedia sensor
network will have a significant impact on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to
health-care, to domestic, establishing ubiquitous computing that will pervade society redefining the way in which we
live and work. Brief list of research areas are as follows -
ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks, vehicular
networks, ad hoc computing systems,
Widespread application scope of Wireless
Sensor Network has opened up numerous research
avenues for students, researchers and their mentors to
create innovative practical real world solutions. Most
of these research works are concerned with scalar
sensor networks that measure physical phenomena,
such as temperature, humidity etc; currently the
research focus also includes the usage of multimedia
content (i.e. image and audio streams) to create novel
solutions.

The needs of wireless networks in novel service scenarios and application contexts are continuously and rapidly
evolving. Most research work on protocols or system architectures is typically done based on analytical models
and/or simulations. The focus of this product is to serve as means / tool for research in real world practical
experimental aspects of multihop wireless networks and systems with multimedia content, and help in designing,
developing and evaluating novel distributed wireless applications & pervasive computing environment. WMSN kit
facilitates this challenging task, as it involves inter-diciplinery work and several technological issues (sensor
architectures, efficient networking protocol design, data handling, context awareness, power management, security,
fault tolerance and reliability, etc.), as well as the industrial-economic aspects related to the introduction of such
novel paradigms and their benefits for the society & industry.
