Abstract:
    Distributed video cameras will play important roles in various IoT/M2M applications, as video/image cameras can provide rich amount of information. However, there are three challenges. (1) Installation of video camera take a lot of efforts, in particular, it has to be connected to line-power and the network. This is because video sensors cannot transmit its content wirelessly and be low-power enough that we don't need provide extra wires to the camera. (2) Many people are annoyed by the fact that video sensors invade their personal privacies. This is because human readable images are captured, transmitted, and stored. (3) Today, in many system, more video contents are captured than human can possibility handle. This is because many irrelevant video contests are captured. To resolve the problems of high data rate, high power consumption, and large deployment cost of large-scale distributed video sensors, perpetual video cameras, where net energy consumption is almost zero, are required. Many technologies and design challenges are introduced for designing such cameras, such as energy harvesting, distributed video coding, distributed video analysis, and the associated VLSI designs. To bring up these issues and challenges, in this lecture, we will provide (1) an overview of challenges/opportunities in IoT, (2) an introduction to the role and requirements of distributed smart cameras in IoT, (3) the analysis of power consumption of wireless video cameras, (4) an introduction of energy harvesting techniques, and (5) distributed video coding and distributed video analysis, where both the state-of-the-art works and possible future research directions will be shown.
