If we're talking animal tracking, as the author mentioned as a possible use case, could the data be stored on-chip and processed upon recovery? I imagine that would handily beat out any cloud-based processing in terms of battery life, but of course assumes that we only eventually want the data.
- StavrosK 14y agoFrom what I understood, that's exactly what the paper proposes. You store the raw data, and only correlate it with the ephemeris later. I don't know why the author involved the cloud into it, it sounds like it can be done very easily on any Internet-connected device.
- stevenrace 14y agoSure, but even in the domain of animal tracking I imagine very few cases involve capturing the animals afterwards. That seems labor intensive (and prone to biting, scratching, etc). If 'afterwards' is when it hits a certain geofence or known network - you still are still stuck with waking up the device and querying the network interface...or doing some non-C friendly code to interpret a geofence coordinate.
