A Portable Surveillance Camera Architecture using One-bit Motion Detection

We present a surveillance camera architecture using a one-bit motion detection algorithm for portable applications. The conventional surveillance system requires too many components and is too complicated for portable applications. In this paper, we propose a simple surveillance camera architecture with a motion detector that can detect changes of an object within its surroundings for low-power and low-cost applications. The proposed motion-detection algorithm uses one-bit images which are selected using a binary search algorithm that is decided by varying the reference voltage. We verify all the functions of the motion detector through the use of a user interface program on an FPGA board. Experimental results are also presented
