In this paper we handle a system that transform sensor data to sensor information. Sensor informations from redundant accelerometers are manipulated to represent the configuration of objects carrying sensors. Basic sensor unit of the proposed systme is composed of 3 accelerometers that are aligned along x-y-z coordination axes of motion. To refine the sensor information, at first the sensor data are fused by geometrical optimization to reduce the variance of sensor information. To overcome the error caused from inexact alignment of each sensor to the coordination system, we propose a calibration technique that identifies the transformation between the coordinate axes and real sensor axes. The calibration technique make the sensor information approach real value. Also, we propose a technique that decomposes the accelerometer data into motion acceleration component and gravity acceleration component so that we can get more exact configuration of objects than in the case of raw sensor data. A set of experimental results are given to show the usefulness of the proposed method as well as the experiments in which the proposed techniques are applied to human body motion capture.

Now a day, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are being widely used in different areas one of which is healthcare services. A wireless medical sensor network senses patient's vital physiological signs through medical sensor-nodes deployed on patient's body area; and transmits these signals to devices of registered medical professionals. These sensor-nodes have low computational power and limited storage capacity. Moreover, the wireless nature of technology attracts malicious minds. Thus, proper user authentication is a prime concern before granting access to patient's sensitive and private data. Recently, P. Kumar et al. claimed to propose a strong authentication protocol for healthcare using Wireless Medical Sensor Networks (WMSN). However, we find that P. Kumar et al.'s scheme is flawed with a number of security pitfalls. Information stored inside smart card, if extracted, is enough to deceive a valid user. Adversary can not only access patient's physiological data on behalf of a valid user without knowing actual password, can also send fake/irrelevant information about patient by playing role of medical sensor-node. Besides, adversary can guess a user's password and is able to compute the session key shared between user and medical sensor-nodes. Thus, the scheme looses message confidentiality. Additionally, the scheme fails to resist insider attack and lacks user anonymity.

Several sensor devices have been developed for monitoring individual's health and status information and services which visualize customized information by associating applications running on smartphones with sensor devices also have been emerged. Though these applications provide similar information to a user, each sensor device has its own application caused by non-standardized packet formats. In this paper, we propose a sensor device identification for dynamic interworking between a smartphone and personal sensor devices. In the proposed scheme, we can use the same application which plays role of a client on the smartphone as changing sensor devices because server stores packet information of sensor devices.

An obstacle avoidance algorithm for a network-based autonomous mobile robot is proposed in this paper. The obstacle avoidance algorithm is based on the VFH(Vector Field Histogram) algorithm and two delay compensation methods with the VFH algorithm are proposed for a network-based robot with distributed environmental sensors, mobile actuators, and the VFH controller. Firstly, the environmental sensor information is compensated by prospection with acquired environmental sensor information, measured network delays, and the kinematic model of the robot. The compensated environmental sensor information is used for building polar histogram with the VFH algorithm. Secondly, a sensor fusion algorithm for localization of the robot is proposed to compensate the delay of odometry sensor information and the delay of environmental sensor information. Through some simulation tests, the performance enhancement of the proposed algorithm in the viewpoint of efficient path generation and accurate goal positioning is shown here.

This study proposes a monitoring system by cooperating the image information and the sensor information in a sensor network system. The monitoring system proposed in this study is divided into internal spaces, such as offices and laboratories, and external spaces including other various spaces. In the internal spaces, motions in objects are detected through cameras while some peripherals like lights are controlled by analyzing some temperature, humidity, and illuminance data detected by sensor nodes. In the external spaces, it is to watch certain intruders to the internal spaces through the interested region for exceptional time by installing cameras, motion detectors, and body detectors in such interested regions. In the results of the test that was applied to a practically limited environment by implementing some interfaces for the proposed system, it was considered that it is possible to watch surroundings effectively using the image information obtained from cameras and sensor information acquisited from sensor nodes.

In the ubiquitous environment sensor network technologies have advanced for collecting information of the environment. With the rapid growth of sensor network technology, it is necessary and important to share the collected sensor data with a large base of diverse users. In order to provide dissemination of sensor data, we design an information dissemination system using an independent disseminator between provider and consumer. This paper describes how we designed the information dissemination system using one of the possible dissemination patterns for sensor networks, and an efficient matching algorithm called CGIM (Classed Grouping Index Matching) which employs a dynamic re-grouping scheme.

The purpose of web-sensor is to transmit the measured sensor data and the related information to remote user. Since the user exists at remote place, the sensor information must be trustworthy, and the diagnosis for sensors should be easy to handle. To make sure of these issues, IEEE 1451 for smart sensor had been presented in the past. This research proposes the smart web sensor. The proposed smart web sensor is based on IEEE 1451.0, therefore most of the sensor interfaces are able to be used, and could realize the smart sensor by using TEDS information. Also it has the user-friendly web-service by using XML so that the remote user can handle easily the every possible information related to sensor. This research presents reference model for smart web sensor, and to prove how valuable it is, web-service using gas sensor is implemented.
