  With the development of embedded video acquisition nodes and wireless video
surveillance systems, traditional video coding methods could not meet the needs
of less computing complexity any more, as well as the urgent power consumption.
So, a low-complexity compressive sensing video encoder framework with
application-aware configurable mechanism is proposed in this paper, where novel
encoding methods are exploited based on the practical purposes of the real
applications to reduce the coding complexity effectively and improve the
compression ratio (CR). Moreover, the group of processing (GOP) size and the
measurement matrix size can be configured on the encoder side according to the
post-analysis requirements of an application example of object tracking to
increase the CR of encoder as best as possible. Simulations show the proposed
framework of encoder could achieve 60X of CR when the tracking successful rate
(SR) is still keeping above 90%.
