Real-Time Object Tracking

Project definition

Distributed wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been proposed for a wide range of applications. The main purpose of sensor networks is to monitor an area, including detecting, identifying, localizing, and tracking one or more objects of interest.

The aim of the thesis is to design and implement a wireless sensor network for object tracking under real-time constraints, using time division media access (TDMA). The application will be implemented in TinyOS operating system with ZigBee technology.

The objective: - collecting the data from the WSN to the main station - design and implement TDMA algorithm in the WSN - ensure real-time communication - interpret the data for object tracking
