摘要
实验证明了在基于滚动快门的光学相机通信(OCC)中使用多达32-PAM的可行性。两种不同的相机用于OCC性能比较,即低成本的Pi Camera V2.1和高成本的Alvium 1800 U-500m。基于上述分析的局限性,本文提出了一种从采集图像中恢复传输信号的解码算法。使用8-PAM、16-PAM和32-PAM进行了距离为2 m的实验评估,分析了两种相机接收到的样本直方图和符号错误率(SER)。根据收集到的实验结果,两种相机都可以实现32-PAM,其中Alvium相机的最大SER为0.16%,Pi相机的最大SER为5.05%。最后,可以观察到,在测试距离内,信号和噪声幅度都保持不变,从而导致SER不明显依赖于发射器和接收器之间的距离。
Experimental Demonstration of 32-PAM Optical Camera Communication Using a Low Cost and a High Cost Camera
This work demonstrates experimentally the feasibility of using up to 32-PAM in rolling shutter based optical camera communication (OCC). Two different cameras have been used for OCC performance comparison, namely, a low-cost Pi Camera V2.1 and a higher-cost Alvium 1800 U-500m. Based on the limitations evidenced by this analysis, a decoding algorithm has been proposed to recover the transmitted signal from the acquired images. The experimental evaluation has been carried out for distances up to 2 m, using 8-PAM, 16-PAM and 32-PAM, analysing the received samples histograms and the symbol error rate (SER) for both cameras. Based on the collected experimental results, it is concluded that 32-PAM is possible with both cameras, with a maximum SER of 0.16% for the Alvium camera and 5.05% for the Pi Camera. Finally, it is observed that both the signal and noise amplitudes remain constant for the tested distances, resulting in a SER that does not notably depend on the distance between the transmitter and receiver.
