ECOS: Energy-efficient Camera Operating Scheme for large scale surveillance systems

Abstract

Energy-efficient Camera Operating Scheme(ECOS) is a technique to save energy which is used for mass surveillance cameras. ECOS determines how many cameras should be turned on with the information of monitored objects and the coverage area of the installed cameras. Also, we address other techniques used to save energy for the surveillance system as well as ECOS. Throughout performance evaluation, we demonstrate the excellence of our proposed scheme compared with other schemes.
