Abstract

In this paper, a low power CMOS image sensor 
controller and baseline JPEG compression encoder for wireless 
capsule endoscopy is presented. The proposed JPEG encoder 
can be integrated into a wireless capsule system to compresses 
the raster YCbCr 4:2:2 raw image data from image sensor into 
JPEG format file and then send to external receiver through 
wireless transmission. To achieve low power and high image 
compression ratio, the JPEG compression algorithm is 
optimized for biomedical image compression. The compressed 
image data are being packed into byte format and DMA can be 
used to retrieve the JPEG image. The JPEG image compression 
chip is designed using 0.18-μm CMOS technology. It consumes 
1.69 mW under 6 MHz system clock for VGA (640×480) image 
resolution when compressing at 7.5 frames per second.
