Abstract

Mobile devices are increasingly popular for the versatile capture and delivery of video content. However, the acquisition and transmission of large amounts of video data on mobile devices face fundamental challenges such as power and wireless bandwidth constraints. To support diverse mobile video applications, it is critical to overcome these challenges. We present a design framework that brings together several key ideas to enable energy-efficient mobile video management applications. First, we leverage off-the-shelf smartphones as mobile video sensors. Second, concurrently with video recordings we acquire geospatial sensor meta-data to describe the videos. Third, we immediately upload the meta-data to a server to enable low latency video search. This last step allows for very energy-efficient transmissions, as the sensor data sets are small and the bulky video data can be uploaded on demand, if and when needed. We present the design, a simulation study, and a preliminary prototype of the proposed system. Experimental results show that our approach substantially prolongs the battery life of mobile devices while only slightly increasing the search

latency
