Smart Dust Sensor Mote Characterization, Validation, Fusion and ...

Conclusion
• Sensor aspect
– Photoconductors don’t have linear behaviors
– Accelerometers could be fused with other alternative
occupancy sensors
• Sensor validation and fusion aspect
– Mote-FVF algorithm is capable of extracting pertinent
information and rejecting failures
– Simple enough to be embedded in the programmable
motes for intra- and inter-network data fusion
– Works for both redundant and disparate sensor fusion
• Mote actuation aspect
– States of mote actuation could also be fused to boost the
overall efficiency and accuracy
