Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de réduire la consommation d'énergie et l'utilisation de largeur de bande dans un système de détection comprenant une pluralité de capteurs placés localement et un poste de travail placé à distance. Le système selon l'invention comprend une pluralité de capteurs dotés de moyens de traitement de façon qu'une partie du traitement soit réalisée in situ, autrement dit avant la transmission de données. En outre, l'unité de commande à distance est configurée pour traiter des données issues de divers capteurs et pour produire ensuite une rétroaction vers les capteurs de façon que seules les données pertinentes issues des capteurs soient transmises. Le procédé selon l'invention consiste : à obtenir tout d'abord des signaux de capteurs locaux; puis à extraire, pour chaque signal, les données pertinentes pour la détection; à représenter ensuite lesdites données dans un format compact à des fins de transmission; et à éliminer, après la transmission des données compactes vers le poste de travail, les données non pertinentes, par la comparaison des données provenant des différents capteurs.
