Sensor Grid Application in Nature Reserve Monitoring Prof. Xu Zhang Guang Deng Research Institute of Forest Resource Information Techniques Chinese Academy of Forestry 2007/10/16
Agenda • Sensor Web Technology • Why use Sensor Web in Natural Protection • Goals for Long term • Priority Areas
Sensor Web Definition(1) • A Sensor Web is a coordinated observation infrastructure composed of a distributed collection of resources - e.g., sensors, platforms, models, communications infrastructure - that can collectively behave as a single, autonomous, task-able, dynamically adaptive and reconfigurable observing system that provides raw and processed data, along with associated meta-data, via a set of standards-based service-oriented interfaces. ( FromAIST meeting with NASA Sensor Web PI’s, ~40 participants discussing concepts, architectures, features and benefits of sensor webs)
Sensor Web Definition(2) “Group of potentially muti-modal data gathering devices coupled with computational intelligence and communication such that the overall system capabilities transcend those provided by a group of isolated sensors” (from John M. Dolan 2007)
Common Key Points • Deployed for convenience using: data acquiring and data fusion • Heterogeneous platforms • Disparate data sets • Spatio-temporally discrete
It’s an Open System • Interoperability • React to environment (Adaptability) • Increases survivability • Interoperability within the system • Portability from one platform to another • Open standards
Nature Reserve in China • 2194 Nature Reserves • 1.5 million ha or 15% of total land area This is equivalent to six times the area of Britain !! And estimated to contain more people than Sweden. This is a massive responsibility and governance issue
Lack of monitoring • Self Assessment, monitoring and evaluation weak. • Supervision and inspection by provincial/national superiors weak • Reporting weak • There needs to be improved implementation and coordination among CBD, UNFCC and UNCCD
Monitoring what • Changes in soil biology • Changes in nutrient cycling • Changes in hydrological regimes • Changes in habitats and migratory patterns • Changes in vision • ……….
Wan Sensor Network Base Station • Gateway: • Communication with WSN Network and IP Network • Transfer data using satellite or mobile telephone • Sensor panel: • MTS: custom sensor panel • MDA: data acquisition panel Sensor Node = • Mote: • CPU • RF transfer and receive device • Mesh protocol stack
Sensor Web Usage in Nature Reserve Monitoring • Discover sensors, observations & processes • Determination of capabilities and reliability • Retrieve real-time or time-series data • Task sensors and simulators • Subscribe to published alerts Sensor Web Enablement for In-Situ Observing Network Facilitation
Goals for Long term • Using Sensor Web Tech in Nature Reserve Monitoring can enhance the monitoring result • Identifying and Evaluating Adaptation Options • Be GEOSS’s Biodiversity and Ecosystem Test Bed • Demonstrate the value of Sensor Web
Priority Areas • Definition and design of the Sensor Web Communication • Using geospatial information infrastructure connecting heterogeneous in-situ sensors and remote sensor • Evaluate the applicable standards for the application of a Sensor Web based approachin Nature Reserve Monitoring • To provide a mechanism to register and categorise Web services for Nature Reserve Monitoring
Priority Areas: Nature Reserve Monitoring to Testify the Supporting Standards • Sensor Observation Service (SOS) • Sensor Alerting Service (SAS) use (WNS) • Sensor Planning Service (SPS) • Sensor Modelling Language (SensorML) • Observation & Management (O&M) • Modelling Language Specification
