Abstract

This paper proposes a rapid prototyping of wireless image transmission for wildlife monitoring system on Raspberry Pi. In this study, inputs based on the motion of surrounding activities were detected using a motion sensor and camera. The system is configured to capture frames in real-time of these activities and analysed using computer vision system toolbox available in MATLAB & Simulink. A Raspberry Pi that equipped with Broadcom BCM2836 system on chip (SoC) with processor performance of 900 MHz 32-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 acts as a brain with a graphical user interface (GUI) that configures the systems and its peripheral. Images were transmitted to the host computer using Wi-Fi 802.11n (2.4GHz) transmission. Results obtained show that the proposed system capable of capturing and processing various size of images. Transmitted images have been through various processes, and finally, the decompressed images were obtained via the host computer.
