Abstract
In this paper we present a low power temporal-difference image sensor with wireless communication capability designed specifically for imaging sensor networks. The event-based image sensor features a 64 × 64 pixel array and can also report standard analog intensity images. An ultra-wideband (UWB) radio channel allows to transmit digital temporal difference images wirelessly to a receiver with high rates and reduced power consumption. The sensor wakes up when it detects enough scene changes and only communicates meaningful frames. Power consumption is 0.9 mW for the sensor and 15 mW for radio transmission to 4 m with rates of 1.3 Mbps and 160 fps.Keywords
