Ubiquitous digital imaging systems

In this paper we will describe the design, construction and application of a wearable digital imaging project based on the PC/104 embedded PC board. The systems for image capture, manipulation and communication will be presented and power- consumption, heat dissipation and user-interface design will be considered. The paper will also discuss the results of an archaeological field trial and demonstrate the potential of image sequence tagging methods for efficient data retrieval in documentary applications.
