Note:
Programmable Cameras and IoT prerequisite is some experience with C/C++/Arduino programming. This course will start by introducing the basic principles of photography and the details of how digital cameras work. However, cameras are no longer just about photography; they are sensors in embedded computing systems that can serve a wide range of applications. For example, using CHDK, it is trivial to program a Canon PowerShot camera to serve as a non-contact tape measure. The course will use CHDK cameras, such as the SX530 HS, to explain how camera internals work and students will get hands-on experience using and programming these cameras. Cameras are also now cheap sensors for use within Internet of Things (IoT) devices. An ESP32-CAM IoT module that costs under $10 includes a 2MP camera and can be programmed for tasks as diverse as wirelessly serving live video via an HTML browser interface to unlocking a door when a person's face is recognized. We will discuss IoT devices in general and use of the ESP32-CAM and its OV2640 camera in particular. Students will implement simple IoT projects using the ESP32-CAM via the Arduino programming environment.

A detailed investigation of a topic of current significance in electrical engineering such as biomedical instrumentation, digital filter design, active networks, advanced electrical devices, digital communications, display of electronics. May be repeated, but only three credits can be earned under the same title. Only nine credit hours may count toward degree requirements. A particular topic may be offered at most twice under the EE 599 number.
