Wi-FLIP: A Low-power Vision-enabled WSN Node

Abstract

Wi-FLIP is the system resulting from the integration of FLIP-Q, the prototype vision chip just described, and Imote2, the commercialWSNplatform briefly commented in Sect. 2.1. This platform gathers certain features that make it appropriate for such integration. First of all, it contains a digital processor whose frequency can vary from 13 MHz up to 416 MHz with dynamic voltage scaling. This means an enormous flexibility when it comes to adjust the power consumption of the system in function of the timing requirements of the artificial vision application considered.
