• Temperature Sensors• Motion Sensors• Video Cameras

Research Projects

• Video Transmission over wireless network• QoS-Aware image/video caching in ad hoc

networks for efficient query processing• Semantic-Aware data caching for search

and retrieval• Anomaly Detection in Video Stream• Moving Object Tracking and recognition

– Using Gait Analysis

Moving Object Detection

• java Bsub

Intellectual Merit• Video/Image Transmission

– Data centric collection of the image/video data using mobile base station

– QoS consideration using variable resolution image/video transmission

• QoS-Aware image/video caching in ad hoc networks– Data caching for efficient content-based retrieval of video in real-

time• Anomaly Detection in video stream

– Dynamic background modeling– Knn-distance metric for anomaly detection– Moving object detection and recognition using real-time Gait
