Energy-efficient integrated camera and sensor system design for wildlife activity monitoring

We introduce our recent research effort on energy-efficient portable video communication system design for wildlife activity monitoring. The capability of seeing what an animal sees in the field is very important for wildlife activity monitoring and research. We have designed an integrated video and sensor system, called DeerCam and mount it on animals so as to collect important video and sensor data about their activities in the field. We will explain the major design challenges and research issues in this project.
