Wireless cameras network for Intelligent Traffic Surveillance system

Abstract

Wireless Networks (WNs) have attracted wide interests in both academic and industrial communities due to their diversity of applications. In this paper a Wireless Camera Network (WCN) which utilizes advanced embedded system & wireless network (WNs) protocol for networks used to improve motorways safety from abnormal situations. The system consist of numbers of embedded smart cameras connected via wi-fi and are deployed along a motorway and connected via wireless network (wi-fi) to be an eye for operators. The system will capture and interpret images (which may cause danger to motorway users) and an alarm system will be triggered to inform motorway operators for immediate actions. Various algorithms for image processing and object recognition will be implemented for image interpretations. At the same time, images from network smart cameras will be sent for storage to a server for record purposes.
