Abstract

It has become necessary in recent years to observe and monitor some physical phenomena. This was made possible by the emergence of wireless sensor networks. The main characteristic of such networks is nodes with scarce resources. Given the stringent resource constraints, nodes are limited in energy, memory and computational power. These resource constraints pose serious difficulties for image processing and transmission to the destination. Therefore, image transfer in wireless sensor networks presents major challenge which raises issues related to its representation, its storage and its transmission. Based on wavelet transform an Adaptive Energy Efficient Wavelet Image Compression Algorithm is proposed in order to be suitable for wireless sensor network. In addition, an identification of the wavelet image compression parameters is investigated to analyze the trade-offs between the energy saving, and the image quality. Performance studies indicate that the proposed scheme enabling significant reductions in computation as well as communication energy needed, with minimal degradation in image quality.
