Gaurav Sharma and Chao Yu Win One of Two Awards for Best Paper at VCIP 2009

January 22, 2009

Associate Professor Gaurav Sharma and graduate student Chao Yu won one of the two Best Paper awards at the SPIE Visual Communications and Image Processing (VCIP) conference held in San Jose, California from January 18-22, 2009. Their paper, "Sensor Scheduling For Lifetime Maximization in User-Centric Image Sensor Networks," describes and analyzes a stochastic model for the lifetime of a battery-powered user-centric image sensor network. Based on the model, the paper presents sensor scheduling strategies that maximize the operational networklifetime. The authors suggest that these strategies may apply to additional sensor scheduling and resource allocation problems.
