In　wireless　video　monitoring　system,　collaboration　and　information　sharing　among　monitoring　nodes　are　of　great　significance　to　fully　mining　potential　of　the　monitoring　system.　It　is　important　to　improve　its　efficiency　and　reduce　the　total　power　consumption,　so　as　to　extend　its　service　life.　In　this　paper,　by　introducing　Mobile　Agent　into　wireless　video　surveillance　system,　a　Mobile　Agent　based　multi-node　wireless　video　collaborative　monitoring　scheme　is　proposed.　Where　a　target　tracking　oriented　Mobile　Agent　information　structure　is　designed.　Meanwhile,　a　target　based　wake-up　mechanism　and　a　multi-node　collaborative　tracking　method　are　presented.　Experimental　results　show　that,　the　proposed　scheme　can　achieve　information　transmission　and　sharing　among　the　nodes　by　utilizing　Mobile　Agent,　both　the　system　efficiency　and　the　surveillance　effect　are　enhanced.　©　2010　IEEE.
