Multimodal monitoring of cultural heritage sites and the FIRESENSE project

Abstract

The FIRESENSE FP7 project aims to implement an automatic early warning system to remotely monitor areas of archaeological and cultural interest from the risk of fire and extreme weather conditions. This challenging task requires the operation of a multimodal wireless sensor network, the setting up of an infrastructure to publish and access sensor data and the fusion of multiple modalities in a real-time fashion. This paper discusses the multimodal sensor data access and fusion aspects of the project.
