Abstract

A comprehensive survey for the past fifteen years in the field of energy harvesting camera is presented in this paper. Besides, comparisons of various techniques used, architectures and advantages and disadvantages of prior attempts for achieving energy harvesting camera. The term energy harvesting camera is used to describe the camera that does not need external power supply or battery but instead it can generate its needed energy by itself in every image capture cycle. A pixel in such cameras is used to sense the image and to harvest the energy for charging the power storage unit. The main component of this kind of cameras is the photodiode which can work in the photoconductive mode that the photodiode is reverse biased and the photovoltaic mode where the photodiode is zero biased. Such kind of cameras can solve many problems like wiring (cost and physical size) and changing batteries frequently, especially in hard to reach places. So that, there are various applications where these cameras can be used such as environmental monitoring, traffic cameras and roads surveillance, military reconnaissance, drones and astronaut’s suits.
