A packaged native data format for interoperability of unattended ground sensors with a SensorML-enabled controller

摘要

Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) from a wide range of manufacturers have difficulty interoperating with each other, and common control and dissemination points. Therefore, an UGS controller that accepts data from a wide range of sensors and transmits this data coherently is essential. This paper proposes a packaged native data format for transmission. This format can be combined with Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Sensor Model Language (SensorML) sensor descriptions to provide sensor interoperability. A SensorML-enabled UGS controller that transmits packaged native data format sensor information is a powerful tool that can provide situational awareness and a common operational picture.
