In swarm robotics multiple robots collectively solve problems by forming advantageous
structures and behaviors similar to the ones observed in natural systems, such as swarms of …

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 …

We investigate how hybrid camera systems---stationary and mobile cameras---allow to
improve the observability of mobile objects and/or locations considering limited resources …

Generally, resource-awareness plays a key role in wireless sensor networks due the limited
capabilities in processing, storage and communication. In this paper we present a resource …

This paper presents the extension of the simulator VSNsim to enable the simulation of hybrid
camera networks in the field of coordination and control algorithms. A hybrid camera …

The focus of this thesis is on dynamic clustering in resource-aware visual sensor networks
(VSNs). A VSN consists of spatially distributed visual sensor nodes. They have the ability to …
