    Compressed Sensing for Energy and Bandwidth Starved IoT Applications
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Ramachandra, G.; Bhat, M.S.
    Ensuring security through the use of video surveillance cameras at public places is becoming attractive these days, thanks to the efficient compression, transmission and storage schemes. To up-scale the surveillance mechanism to large sensor networks, it is imperative that the applications become compatible to wireless sensor networks using Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. IoT nodes are generally energy and bandwidth-limited owing to their small size and large scale deployment. Therefore, any image/video acquisition application using IoT infrastructure should function within these constraints. Compressed sensing (CS) is one such paradigm that uses simultaneous sensing and compression and provides a technique for efficient image/video acquisition. This paper investigates the use of compressed sensing for image acquisition in IoT based applications that suffer from energy, bandwidth and storage limitations. © 2018 IEEE.

    Vision in Versatility: Dual CCD-CMOS Imaging with Compressed Sensing for Sustainable IoT Surveillance Drones
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Gambheer, R.; Bhat, M.S.
    In the evolving IoT technology landscape, deploying surveillance drones with advanced imaging for security and efficiency is crucial, particularly in low-light conditions. Traditional imaging relies on either Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) sensors for their low-light prowess or Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) sensors for their energy efficiency. Our research introduces a novel approach by combining CCD and CMOS sensors into a single hardware platform. This allows for smart switching based on ambient light, optimizing energy use and improving image quality in varied environments. We tackle the high energy use of CCD sensors and the inconsistent performance of CMOS sensors under different lighting by applying compressed sensing (CS) techniques. These are designed to lower energy, bandwidth, and storage needs, making CCD sensors more efficient in the dark. Additionally, we've developed optimized sparse reconstruction algorithms to enhance this dual-sensor system's performance in IoT networks, ensuring high image quality with less resource use. This dual-sensor approach is a breakthrough in using CCD sensors for night surveillance, supporting sustainable IoT goals by saving energy and extending drone lifespans. Our research, backed by theoretical analysis, simulations, and empirical tests, proves our algorithms' ability to reconstruct high-quality images efficiently. Introducing this dual-sensor solution represents a significant step in sustainable IoT surveillance, offering potential for widespread use in various settings. © 2024 IEEE.
