Video sensor node with distributed video summary for Internet-of-Things applications

In order to reduce the required transmission bandwidth of a video sensor network for Internet-of-Things applications, a video sensor node with distributed video summary capability is developed, where the video summarization algorithm is developed based on a scene model and a frame color descriptor. Experimental results show that by exchanging information between video sensors, the required transmission bandwidth is drastically reduced. Moreover, real-time performance is achieved on an embedded platform.
