Abstract Details

2007, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Computer Engineering.
Secure wireless radio frequency communication presents several implementation challenges as security mechanisms may be circumvented, transmitters may cause interference, and devices may use regulated radio frequencies. Optical communication, on the other hand, provides line-of-sight security to prevent eavesdropping, does not cause interference, and is not regulated. Combining optical communication with imaging capabilities provides an arrayed receiver technology that has the ability to capture a visual record of the transmitting object while tracking the transmitter in the scene. We refer to this combined sensor technology as a data-integrated imager. This thesis develops and evaluates a system architecture to support two existing data-integrated imagers. The system architecture receives bit information and intensity values from a custom designed CMOS sensor and interprets higher level constructs such as Ethernet packets and video frames. The result of this work provides a novel system capable of optical communication, real-time object location, and video surveillance.
