Wireless video streaming has traditionally been considered an extremely power-hungry operation. Existing approaches optimize the camera and communication modules individually to minimize their power consumption. However, designing a video streaming device requires power-consuming hardware components and video CODEC algorithms which makes battery-fr...

Near-field communication (NFC) readers, ubiquitously embedded in smartphones and other infrastructures can wirelessly deliver mW-level power to NFC tags. Our previous work NFC-wireless internet service provider (WISP) proves that the generated NFC signal from an NFC enabled phone can power a tag (NFC-WISP) with display and sensing capabilities in a...

Wireless video streaming has traditionally been considered an extremely power-hungry operation. Existing approaches optimize the camera and communication modules individually to minimize their power consumption. However, the joint redesign and optimization of wireless communication as well as the camera is what that provides more power saving. We p...

Conventional wireless camera systems and the computations running on them for machine vision applications are demanding power-wise. The battery life of wearable camera systems (such as Google Glass) is under an hour when operating with full capacity. Similarly, due to power requirements, surveillance cameras need to be plugged in, which decreases t...

We consider the problem of continuous computer-vision based analysis of video streams from mobile cameras over extended periods. Given high computational demands, general visual processing must currently be offloaded to the cloud. To reduce mobile battery and bandwidth consumption, recent proposals offload only "interesting" video frames, discardin...

RF-powered devices equipped with general-purpose microcontrollers face energy limitation constraints for performing arbitrarily complex sensing and computation tasks. While richer capabilities such as image capture and processing would enable many new RF-powered use-cases, this energy limitation narrows the application space. Enabling richer sensin...

We present the first power over Wi-Fi system that delivers power to low-power sensors and devices and works with existing Wi-Fi chipsets. We show that a ubiquitous part of wireless communication infrastructure, the Wi-Fi router, can provide far field wireless power without significantly compromising the network's communication performance. Building...

Sustained exponential improvements in the energy efficiency of microelectronics has recently enabled us to build battery-free camera systems that are powered entirely by propagating radio waves. This paper describes primitive machine vision applications built using this highly constrained, battery-free camera system. After describing the WISPCam sy...

Knowledge of energy flow in a microwatt-class energy harvesting system is essential to reliable deployment and scheduling of sensing, computation, communication, and actuation tasks. However, existing techniques for monitoring energy flow fail to meet the basic requirements for in-situ realtime monitoring systems by failing to be efficient and fail...

RFID sensor networks perpetually stream sensor data without batteries. Cameras are power hungry but provide richer information than conventional sensor network nodes. Battery-free, RF-powered camera sensor nodes combine many of the attractive features of RFID sensor networks with those of cameras. However, prior battery-free cameras have no notion...

Energy-scavenging devices with general-purpose microcontrollers can support arbitrarily complex sensing tasks in theory, but in practice, energy limitations impose severe constraints on the application space. Richer sensing such as image capture would enable many new applications to take advantage of energy scavenging. Richer sensing faces two key...
