Abstract
A system that uses statistical techniques to selectively transmit sensor data which is likely to be of interest. During operation, the system uses statistical techniques to compute a likelihood that the sensor is observing a real event. Next, the system compares the likelihood to an upper threshold. If the likelihood is greater than or equal to the upper threshold, the system determines that the sensor is observing a real event and transmits sensor data for the real event to a receiver.
