Computer Engineering Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Edge Sensor Compression Trade-Off

This Computer Engineering final year project investigates reducing transmitted sensor data while preserving specified signal features, linking hardware behaviour and software assumptions through an explicitly bounded prototype or simulation.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic makes reducing transmitted sensor data while preserving specified signal features a testable computer-engineering problem with visible interfaces and failure cases. Measuring compression ratio, reconstruction error and processing energy helps a student compare design alternatives and explain how resource constraints affect the proposed implementation.

How do the selected hardware or embedded-software choices affect compression ratio, reconstruction error and processing energy when reducing transmitted sensor data while preserving specified signal features?

Choose an available development board or simulator, agree the supported interface and workload, and narrow reducing transmitted sensor data while preserving specified signal features with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the interfaces, operating assumptions and expected behaviour for reducing transmitted sensor data while preserving specified signal features.
  2. 02Use synthetic or approved benign sensor traces, compare lightweight compression schemes on a development board and reconstruct outputs offline.
  3. 03Measure compression ratio, reconstruction error and processing energy and document failures, resource limits and reproducibility.

A suggested research approach

Use synthetic or approved benign sensor traces, compare lightweight compression schemes on a development board and reconstruct outputs offline. Keep all tests on owned, simulated or approved low-voltage equipment. Record hardware and tool versions, compare output with an independent reference, and evaluate compression ratio, reconstruction error and processing energy using normal, boundary and interrupted-operation cases.

What you will need

  • Low-voltage development board
  • Synthetic sensor traces
  • Current profiling tool

Keep your project scope clear

Preserved features depend on the application and do not validate clinical or safety monitoring. Project writing does not supply working firmware or manufactured hardware.
