Abstract:
1. A method for controlling a camera through a Multi-Hop-based wireless sensor network, comprising: receiving, at the camera, an indication of an event related to a movement of an object from a sensor node in the Multi-Hop-based wireless sensor network, wherein the indication indicates a position information of the event and a type of the event, and wherein the event is detected by the sensor node based on a difference between a movement vector of the object at a current sensor and a movement vector of the object at a previous sensor; controlling a zoom-in operation of a lens of the camera according to the type of the event; capturing an image based on a movement control signal that causes the camera to move in at least one direction, wherein the movement control signal is generated by using the position information; and transmitting the captured image over a communications network.
