ABSTRACT

In this paper, we experimented the validity of our solar powered shooting system working even at power cut environment. Our new photographing system was composed by the rules of electric power consumption of components devices. To choose a appropriate device, we measured the electric current values of each individual device using the digital power analyzer. Our proposed shooting system was designed to suit the purpose of recording construction building process. The system could operate successfully without normal electric supply thanks to solar energy generating module. The shooting section of our system is composed of DSLR camera module, control computer and wireless communication module. We applied interval shooting method to reduce the electric consumption in our system. Since the period of construction projects would be long time, it is generally known that time-lapse photographing is exactly appropriate to record the construction process. in experiments, we could find that the consumption of an industrial computer installed to control DSLR(Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera and wireless modem was the greatest in comparison with the other devices. The relative consumption ratio was about 45%. On contrast, the camera module consumed 8.5 Watt and the modem device consumed 5.5 Watt. After the measurement of each component, we examined the entire consumption of our new system. In conclusion, we could confirmed that our proposed system was able to work within 300 watt solar power a day. Also, we could achieve 7.64% energy reduction effect using our new algorithm with varing shooting intervals.
