Description: Abstract-Wireless networks in combination with imagesensors open up a multitude of previously unthinkable sensingapplications. Capable tools and testbeds for these wireless imagesensor networks can greatly accelerate development of complex, yet efficient algorithms that meet application requirements. In thispaper, we introduce WiSNAP, a Matlab-based applicationdevelopment platform intended for wireless image sensornetworks. It allows researchers and developers of such networksto investigate, design, and evaluate algorithms and applicationsusing real target hardware. WiSNAP offers standardized andeasy-to-use Application Program Interfaces (APIs) to controlimage sensors and wireless motes, which do not require detailedknowledge of the target hardware. Nonetheless, its open systemarchitecture enables support of virtually any kind of sensor orwireless mote. Application examples are presented to illustrate theusage of WiSNAP as a powerful development tool.
