Abstract
Isolate safe area detection is significant for various applications of wireless sensor networks since it can provide precious information for the rescue crew to save trapped persons. We propose a centralized method to detect isolate safe areas via discovering holes in event areas. In order to shorten the detection delay, a distributed method is also studied. Detecting isolate safe areas in a building is addressed specially since the regular detecting method is not applicable. Our simulation results show that the distributed method can detect all isolate safe areas in acceptable short delay.
