Abstract
Surveillance systems have begun to be integrated into the
common lives of humans and improved surveillance systems
will spread even further. Systems manufacturers will
continue to provide powerful surveillance systems with
different aspects from single sensors to an abundance of
different intelligent sensors. These different devices
will have the ability to deliver a large variety of
information to either remote or local surveillance
personnel for immediate utilization or for extracting
information about occurred events. The objective of this
dissertation is to analyse the reduction of excessive
information delivered to security personnel and the
immediate delivery of essential alarms to security
personnel by refining a design of a distributed
multi-sensor intelligent surveillance system. The
surveillance system created is reflected against the
mobile and ubiquitous requirements of the end users of
the surveillance system. The mobile requirement contains
the reduction of excessive information distributed to the
end user, a.k.a., the service personnel. The ubiquitous
requirement consists of sensor data fusion and situation
deduction. This dissertation uses a constructive research
method, in which the results are validated by technical
implementation and experimentation against mobile and
ubiquitous requirements.
The major results of this dissertation are the prototype
implementations of the Single Location Surveillance Point
(SLSP) system. It consists of a selective amount of
sensors that collect readings from a single location,
which is the surveillance point. Each sensor transmits
its crude sensor data to a session server, which handles
the connections between the components. The session
server routes the crude sensor information to the logical
decision making service. The logical decision making
server automatically deducts the situation at the
surveillance point based on the received sensor
information. The logical decision making server informs
the security manager server of the situation at the
surveillance point. The security manager server's user
interface displays essential information about the
surveillance point to a human security administrator. The
security manager server can transmit information to the
nomadic security personnel's smart phones over wireless
networks.
