Research on Embedded Surveillance Platform in Severe Environment

Abstract

In the coal mine, open field or a severe surveillance environment, the use of computers and data collection card to achieve surveillance task is fairly dangerous and unreliable. This paper analyzes platform selection in special surveillance environment based on such problems as the high possibility of flammability and explosion, high humidity and lots of dust in surveillance environment, and the inconvenience of separate, long distance surveillance fields. It also proposes the concept of establishing the embedded surveillance platform. Finally a surveillance platform based on system on programmable chip (SOPC) is presented. The result shows that the embedded platform can afford the task in severe environment.
