Abstract

Contour maps, showing topological distribution of extracted features, are crucial for many applications. Building a dynamic contour map in a wireless sensor network is a challenging task due to the constrained network resources. In this paper, we present the design of a contour mapping engine (CME) in wireless sensor networks. Our design incorporates in-network processing based on binary classification to reduce the total number of active nodes. The underlying network architecture is analyzed, to derive an optimal configuration. We show, by extensive simulations, the superiority of CME over the state-of-the-art contour mapping techniques.
