Abstract

Processing visual information from a large camera network is important for many applications, such as smart environments, human–computer interfaces, and surveillance. Smart camera motes using onboard processing offer an opportunity to create scalable solutions based on distributed processing of visual information. Wireless communication in sensor networks is preferred for many practical reasons. Wireless smart camera node architecture is analyzed in this chapter.
