Smart sensor snow

We propose to deploy and exploit a large number of inexpensive sensors to obtain information or trigger actions over a wide geographic area. Sensors may be of diverse physical natures: acoustic, IR, seismic, chemical, magnetic, thermal, etc. We describe three major issues: (1) sensor distribution patterns, (2) local sensor frames, and (3) autonomous robot sensor snow exploitation techniques.
