Abstract

Video streaming is considered as one of the best compelling sources of information for several applications ranging from vehicular technology, security systems, biomedical systems to aerospace applications. Video streaming using wireless network is quite challenging and a lot of research is in progress. In this paper, design and development of a low-cost real-time wireless video streaming mote is proposed which is an outcome of a funded project. Three different variants of the proposed system are designed, tested and their performances are evaluated. The first prototype uses an Arduino YUN board, second prototype uses a Raspberry PI board and the third prototype uses an Arducam ESP8266 Uno Module. The proposed wireless video streaming mote is aimed at moving around an area under surveillance, gathering images and transferring the same to control station. The proposed system has potential applications including assistance to vehicle drivers during reversing, parking, autonomous driving of the vehicles, driving vehicles using mobile application etc. The proposed system designed has a myriad of real-time applications for domestic requirements with social cause too.
