A smart camera is an integrated machine vision system which, in
addition to image capture circuitry, includes a processor, which
can extract information from images without need for an external
processing unit, and interface devices used to make results
available to other devices. This book provides content on smart
cameras for an interdisciplinary audience of professionals and
students in embedded systems, image processing, and camera
technology. It serves as a self-contained, single-source reference
for material otherwise found only in sources such as conference
proceedings, journal articles, or product data sheets. Coverage
includes the 50 year chronology of smart cameras, their technical
evolution, the state-of-the art, and numerous applications, such as
surveillance and monitoring, robotics, and transportation.

This text is a vital accessory to both students and professionals
working on data compression, embedded processing and infrared
astronomy. It tackles embedded data compression on-board space
observatories for infrared astronomy. In the early chapter,
infrared astronomy aspects are presented, including the infrared
detector technologies, infrared signal characteristics and
astronomical images in the infrared range. Afterwards,
state-of-the-art compression is summarized as well as standardized
methods for astronomical image compression are given. Designed for
infrared space astronomy, the concept on-board processing is
introduced to deal with the corresponding compression challenges.
The complexity related aspects of the on-board processing, relevant
for the DSP implementation, has been stressed. This text provides
methodologies for the complexity measure of embedded applications.
Finally, the PACS instrument from the ESA-Herschel space
observatory is used as a case study for the demonstration of the
on-board processing. Throughout the book, examples and
illustrations drawn from the field of infrared astronomy illuminate
the historical and technical information.
