Decoding CMOS Rolling-Shutter Pattern in Translational or Rotational Motions for VLC

Abstract

We propose and demonstrate a CMOS rolling-shutter pattern decoding scheme based on two newly introduced schemes, named row grayscale redistribution and differential grayscale packet selection to improve the performance in decoding the CMOS rolling-shutter pattern in translational or rotational motions. Results show that even the CMOS image sensor is in translational or rotational motions, no significant signal degradation is observed at wireless transmission distance up to 150 cm. The maximum visible light communication data rate at different wireless transmission distances is also analyzed.
