    Exploring the raspberry Pi for data summarization in wireless sensor networks
    (ACM, 2018-04-10) Alejos, Andrés; Ball, Matthew; Eckert, Connor; Ma, Michael; Ward, Hayden; Hanlon, Peter; Matthews, Suzanne J.
    Single board computers (SBCs) are a class of devices where the entirety of the computer is printed on a single circuit board. The Raspberry Pi is perhaps the most popular SBC on the market today. The Raspberry Pi version 3 (1.2 Ghz A53 CPU, 2 GB of RAM), and the Raspberry Pi Zero W (1.0 Ghz ARM11 CPU, 512 MB RAM), cost $35.00 and $10.00 respectively, and both include integrated wireless and Bluetooth. Unlike microcontrollers, SBCs are fully functioning computers with more memory and processing power than the typical sensor. Their powerful System-on-a-Chip (SoC) processors make SBCs good candidates for at-node data summarization tasks in a wireless sensor network [1]. Reducing data transfer in a wireless sensor network is critical for energy efficiency and improved latency [2]. In this poster, we explore the viability of a wireless sensor network composed of Raspberry Pis for video and audio summarization tasks. Our contributions include a i.) novel sensor and gateway node design and ii.) a user interface implemented as an Android App.
