Research project: Neuromorphic vision sensor data transmission over the next generation Internet-of-Things

Abstract

Silicon retinas, Dynamic Vision Sensors (DVS), capture only changes in scene reflections, i.e., report only the on/off triggering of brightness in the observed scene. The principal operation of silicon retinas achieves 10-fold reduction in power consumption, i.e., 10-20 mW of power requirements for DVS camera, as compared to hundreds of milli-watts power consumption for conventional frame-based vision sensors. The fast expansion of Internet-of-Things (IoTs) networks and the increasing demand for pervasive video have highlighted the need to support visual communication over machine-to-machine (M2M) networks. Achieving this at appropriate quality and in an energy and delay-efficient manner is a major challenge for future IoT deployments. We are presenting a PhD proposal on the new paradigm of dynamic visual sensing and aims to design layered representations and transmission frameworks for DVS data in a manner that is amenable to advanced M2M communications systems.
