Video surveillance is one of the most data intensive applications. A typical video
surveillance system consists of one or multiple video cameras, a central storage unit, and a …

In recent years hardware implementation of the wavelet transform for image processing has
gathered significant attention. The wavelet transform is a promising tool for image …

Processing images to extract useful information in real-time is a complex task, dealing with
large amounts of iconic data and requiring intensive computation. Smart cameras use …

A network of (wireless smart) cameras can analyse the scene from different views. Wireless
smart cameras challenge the hardware for low-power consumption and high imaging …

We describe an architecture for a multi-camera, multi-resolution surveillance system. The
aim is to support a set of distributed static and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras and visual …

A novel smart pixel opto-VLSI architecture to implement a complete 2-D wavelet transform of
real-time captured images is presented. The smart pixel architecture enables the realisation …

Automated video surveillance is a rapidly evolving area and has been gaining importance in
the research community in recent years due to its capabilities of performing more efficient …

Each mobile phone with a built-in CMOS sensor can inherently be seen as smart camera
itself. Previous work in the research field of smart camera networks intensively focused on …

This paper describes the design of a programmable parallel architecture that is to be used
for signal pre-processing in intelligent embedded vision systems. The architecture has been …

The acceptance of reconfigurable platforms specifically FPGAs in embedded system design
is becoming more apparent. While there are varieties of platforms available for smart camera …
