In this paper we present a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), which is intended to provide a scalable solution for active cooperative monitoring of wide geographical areas. The system is designed to use different smart-camera prototypes: where the connection to the power grid is available a powerful embedded hardware implements a Deep Neural Network, otherwise a fully autonomous energy-harvesting node based on a low-energy custom board employs lightweight image analysis algorithms. Parking lots occupancy monitoring in the historical city of Lucca (Italy) is the application where the implemented smart cameras have been deployed. Traffic monitoring and surveillance are possible new scenarios for the system.

Abstract
In this paper we present a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), which is intended to provide a scalable solution for active cooperative monitoring of wide geographical areas. The system is designed to use different smart-camera prototypes: where the connection to the power grid is available a powerful embedded hardware implements a Deep Neural Network, otherwise a fully autonomous energy-harvesting node based on a low-energy custom board employs lightweight image analysis algorithms. Parking lots occupancy monitoring in the historical city of Lucca (Italy) is the application where the implemented smart cameras have been deployed. Traffic monitoring and surveillance are possible new scenarios for the system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
