Demo: VSNsim - A Simulator for Control and Coordination in Visual Sensor Networks

Published: 04 November 2014 Publication History

Abstract

The analysis and evaluation of concepts in the research fields of visual sensor networks (VSNs) suffer from the low number of simulation possibilities. In this paper we present a simulator, the VSNsim, dedicated for evaluating control and coordination strategies in VSNs. It is built with the game engine Unity3D and has a very user friendly handling. The algorithms locally running on the sensor nodes of the VSN can be implemented in C#, JavaScript or Boo. Due to graphical user interface and the 3D implementation, our simulator is a tool that can be intuitively applied and extended to a researcher's need.
