Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods described herein are configured for monitoring and managing a plurality of sensors. The plurality of sensors may be fixed, mobile, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the monitoring and management of the sensors is facilitated via a graphical user interface.

Claims (37)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving a data stream at an interval, wherein the data stream is associated with a sensor;

determining whether the data stream at the interval satisfies a certain criteria to trigger an alert;

in response to determining that the data stream satisfies the certain criteria, sending the alert; and

displaying information associated with the data stream of the sensor on a graphical user interface.

2 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the certain criteria is whether the data stream at the interval exceeds a threshold.

3 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the alert is a message transmitted to indicate that a hazardous material is detected by the sensor.

4 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) component operable for detecting gamma radiation.

5 . The method as described in claim 1 further comprising:

rendering a map, wherein the sensor is shown on the map based on a location of the sensor.

6 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the determining is further based on other sensors within a selected proximity of the sensor.

7 . The method as described in claim 1 further comprising:

storing the data stream at the interval.

8 . The method as described in claim 1 further comprising:

responsive to a selection of the sensor via a graphical user interface, rendering the data stream at the interval on the graphical user interface.

9 . A system comprising:

a process module configured to analyze a current sensor data from an associated sensor of a plurality of sensors;

a sensor management module configured to manage a plurality of instances of the process module, wherein the sensor management module is further configured to associate metadata of the associated sensor with the current sensor data; and

a state management module configured to determine whether a state change of the associated sensor has occurred, wherein the determination is based on a comparison between the current sensor data and a previous sensor data.

10 . The system of claim 9 further comprising:

a data store module configured to receive the metadata and the current sensor data, wherein the data store module is further configured to store the metadata and the current sensor data.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the data store module comprises the state determination module.

12 . The system of claim 9 further comprising:

a visualization module configured to display the current sensor data and a representation of the associated sensor based on the metadata.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the visualization module is configured to display the current sensor data, wherein the current sensor data is visually positioned in close proximity to geographical location of the associated sensor on a map.

14 . The system of claim 9 further comprising:

a messaging module configured to send a message based on the current sensor data, the metadata, and further based on whether the current sensor data satisfies a certain condition.

15 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the sensor management module is configured to determine a health of each instance of the process module of the plurality of instances of the process module.

16 . A system comprising:

a plurality of radiation sensors; and

a sensor based detection system coupled to the plurality of radiation sensors, wherein the sensor detection system is configured to monitor, manage, and analyze data from the plurality of radiation sensors.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein at least one sensor of the plurality of radiation sensors comprises a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) component.

18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the sensor based detection system is configured to determine a health of a respective analytics process associated with a respective radiation sensor of the plurality of radiation sensors.

19 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the sensor based detection system is configured to display sensor data and metadata of a radiation sensor of the plurality of radiation sensors.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the sensor based detection system is configured to store the sensor data and the metadata.

21 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the sensor based detection system is configured to send a message based on the sensor data and the metadata.

22 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the sensor based detection system is configured to determine a sensor state change based on a previous sensor reading.
