A Wireless Acoustic Sensor Network for environmental monitoring based on flexible hardware nodes

Published: 07 October 2015 Publication History

Abstract

Monitoring areas of environmental interest by employing a wireless acoustic sensor network has been recently investigated. Although feature-rich sensor solutions have surfaced, the requirements for a flexible node from a networking and processing segmentation point of view cannot be met by commercially available systems. The hardware development presented is based on a single design that can support multiple subsystems with the actual node operation being defined by the embedded software. The systems performance was investigated through a six month pilot operation; for that duration, data for anthropogenic, geophysical and biophysical sounds were logged.
