Abstract |
As sensor network technologies become more mature, they are increasingly being applied to a wide variety of applications, ranging from agricultural sensing to cattle, oceanic and volcanic monitoring and wild life. In this paper, we have presented the wide area of applications of fibre optic sensors in wild life and how we manage to use these fibre optic sensors to save the life of animals in the forest. We describe the stages of its evolution cycle, from implementation, deployment and testing, to various iterations of software optimization. The main lessons learned were: the need to factor in the maintenance costs while designing the system; the importance of a rapid initial prototype deployment and the need for continuous interaction with domain scientists which allows for unexpected optimization. |
