With no easy means of monitoring the WSN, it was time-consuming to resolve problems. An easy to understand, visual method of monitoring the health of the WSN in real-time was therefore deemed essential. A Google Earth-based user interface was created which clearly highlighted any problems in the WSN operation. Carefully positioned sensor nodes collect and monitor information about their health ...

An integrated GPS-GSM system is proposed to track vehicles using Google Earth application. The remote module has a GPS mounted on the moving vehicle to identify its current position, and to be transferred by GSM with other parameters acquired by the automobile’s data port as an SMS to a recipient station. The received GPS coordinates are filtered using a Kalman filter to enhance the accuracy of...

A large volume of geometric models describing urban objects has become freely available in the public domain via software like ArcGlobe and Google Earth. Although mostly created for visualization, these urban models can benefit many applications beyond vi...
