Light-adaptive vision system for remote surveillance using a smart vision chip

A vision system for remote surveillance has been proposed using a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and a smart vision chip. Because of the vision chip's characteristics, the output value is less fluctuated by illumination condition. The system based on transmission control protocol / internet protocol (TCP/IP) enables to monitor the remote place. Light emitting diode (LED) was used as an indicator which expresses the warning signal from the system.
