Surveillance systems provide the capability of collecting authentic and purposeful
information and forming appropriate decisions to enhance safety. This paper reviews …

The video capture, processing, and communication in wireless video sensor networks
critically depend on the resources of the nodes forming the sensor networks. We provide a …

There is evidence that many password users do not comply with these suggested rules.
DeAlvare [1] found that once a password is chosen, a user is unlikely to change it until it has …

Mounting concerns over variability, defects, and noise motivate a new approach for digital
circuitry: stochastic logic, that is to say, logic that operates on probabilistic signals and so …

Surveillance is one of the promising applications to which smart camera motes forming a
vision-enabled network can add increasing levels of intelligence. We see a high degree of in …

The main purpose of this paper is to use off-the-shelf devices to develop a fall detection
system. In human body identification, human body silhouette is adopted to improve privacy …

Distributed smart cameras (DSCs) are real-time distributed embedded systems that perform
computer vision using multiple cameras. This new approach has emerged thanks to a …

This book is the first ever to focus on the emerging field of self-aware computing from an
engineering perspective. It first comprehensively introduces fundamentals for self …

Although there has been much interest in computational photography within the research
and photography communities, progress has been hampered by the lack of a portable …

Western societies are aging rapidly. An automated 24/7 surveillance to ensure safety of the
elderly while respecting privacy becomes a major challenge. At the same time this is …
