Distributed Embedded Smart Cameras

This book is designed to enhance understanding of the architectural design challenges of embedded smart camera systems: the hardware/software ecosystem, design approach for and applications of distributed smart cameras along with state-of-the-art algorithms.

This publication addresses distributed embedded smart cameras cameras that perform on board analysis and collaborate with other cameras. This book provides the material required to better understand the architectural design challenges of embedded smart camera systems, the hardware/software ecosystem, the design approach for and applications of distributed smart cameras together with the state-of-the-art algorithms. The authors concentrate on the architecture, hardware/software design, realization of smart camera networks from applications to architectures, in particular in the embedded and mobile domains.

Examines energy issues related to wireless communication such as decreasing energy consumption to increase battery-life Discusses processing large volumes of video data on an embedded environment in real-time Covers design of real-life applications of distributed and embedded smart cameras Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
