WASC April 2012, Clermont-Ferrand (France)

7 WASC April 2012, Clermont-Ferrand (France) FLIP-Q: floorplan J. Fernández Berni, R. Carmona Galán and L. Carranza González, FLIP-Q: A QCIF Resolution Focal-Plane Array for Low-Power Image Processing, in IEEE J. Solid-State Circuits, vol. 46, no. 3, pp , March 2011

8 WASC April 2012, Clermont-Ferrand (France) FLIP-Q: elementary processing cell Reset transistor n-well/p-substrate photodiode Electronic global shutter Programmable block-wise image filtering and averaging Programmable block-wise image energy computation Readout circuitry

17 Wi-FLIP: a vision-enabled WSN node WASC April 2012, Clermont-Ferrand (France)

18 Wi-FLIP: a vision-enabled WSN node WASC April 2012, Clermont-Ferrand (France)

19 WASC April 2012, Clermont-Ferrand (France) Wi-FLIP: a vision-enabled WSN node DoG-based edge detection

20 WASC April 2012, Clermont-Ferrand (France) Wi-FLIP: a vision-enabled WSN node Very low throughput due to slow GPIO ports and TinyOS latency

21 27 Case study: early detection of forest fires High economic cost Short maintenance cycles Coarse grain coverage Exact location must be inferred

22 28 Case study: early detection of forest fires Vision-enabled Wireless Sensor Network ADVANTAGES Robustness Scalability Reliability Better temporal resolution Simpler smoke location DRAWBACKS Ultra low power consumption required

23 29 Case study: early detection of forest fires Reconfigurable focal plane A power-efficient vision algorithm Multiresolution forscene smoke representation detection Candidate regions Clustering ratio Growth rate SMOKE! Propagation speed

24 30 Case study: early detection of forest fires Preliminary field tests Original sequence Motion detector Our algorithm

25 31 Case study: early detection of forest fires On-site smoke detection with Eye-RIS v1.2

26 32 Case study: early detection of forest fires Field tests with Wi-FLIP

27 33 Case study: early detection of forest fires Prescribed burning of a 95m x 20m shrub plot Wi-FLIP monitored all the activity for over two hours No false alarm triggered Successful smoke detection for two of the three vegetation areas explored Thin smoke generated from a very sparse vegetation area was not detected

28 34 CONCLUSIONS Early vision tasks represent a considerably heavy computational load. SIMD-based massively parallel mixed-signal processing takes advantage of their intrinsic characteristics to achieve high power efficiency and computational power. FLIP-Q: A prototype vision chip tailored for ultra low-power applications. Very competitive in the state of the art. Wi-FLIP: A vision-enabled Wireless Sensor Network node supported by Imote2. Current drawback: low throughput. Case study: Early detection of forest fires, with very good results in terms of reliability.
