1. Group ID:May11-23 Client: Dr. Stephen Gilbert Advisor:Dr. Daji Qiao Members: Kyoung-ho Lim, Michael Gledhill, Michael Patterson, Ryan David, Travis Munn 1/11

2. The Pack Develop a system that can capture a video with 360 o coverage that can transmit and stream real time to a website. ADC USB 802.11 n 2/11

3. 360 0 video capture of a subject’s surroundings Wireless transmission of video feeds up to 100 meter 4-8 hours of battery life Small/portable Lightweight Durable Inconspicuous 3/11

4. Research and order parts (completed) Test parts as they are received Create a working system with only a single stream’s throughput Add the other cameras to the system until all streams are active, ensuring manageable throughput at each phase Create enclosure and camera mountings once confident that the system is functioning correctly 4/11

5. The Pack Issues: ADC Compression Compatibility Concerns ADC USB dualband 802.11 n 5/11

6. The Pack (New) Frame grabbers with hardware compression Wireless n compatible supported USB dualband 802.11 n Frame Grabbers/ Compression 6/11

7. Beagleboard—Ubuntu is installed Interface well understood Camera—Purchased and tested Future plans to develop mounting apparatus Frame Grabber Changed framegrabber design, learning SDK interface Networking Network application development in progress USB Dongle and Beagleboard compatible 7/11

8. There are two different methods by which we might accomplish our streaming: Hardware API and C socket code Our frame grabbers come with some standard software which allows users to write C code to get frames. Pros: more control over how and when packets are sent Cons: more opportunity for error Video4Linux software framework Provides “frame grabbing” and networking functions Pros: well-tested, easy integration Cons: less control over traffic 8/11

9. Custom designed battery circuit may prove favorable 9/11 Beagleboard: Ubuntu, 802.11n compatibe Cameras: 4 x 100 0 viewing field

10. Power System Adaptation Integrate the major pieces Testing: Network bandwidth based on distance and obstacles Compression Rates Evaluate battery life with entire system hooked up 10/11

11. Major hardware purchased and began integrating Testing/compatibility is greatest concern 11/11 Major Setback: Incompatible Frame grabber  New hardware decisions made
