In particular for remote surveillance applications, the sensor nodes are expected to continuously deliver visual information but under stringent constraints on system area and energy, and wireless channel bandwidth. Moreover, as the sensor nodes are generally exposed to the outdoor environment, they need to perform reliably under noisy and dynamic conditions such as rain and snow. This paper presents an energy-aware approach to moving object detection to reduce unnecessary energy for transmitting background scenes while requiring very low computation and memory and ensuring robust performance under noisy environments. An image sensor platform is demonstrated with the proposed approach.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis work is a part of a broader effort in the GREEN Lab in self-powered image\/video sensor nodes through innovations in energy harvesting, mixed-signal circuit, ultra-low-power vision algorithm, and real-time control.
