With the detection of the complex and changeable environment, wireless multimedia sensor network is therefore arise, as a new information processing and access to technology, wireless multimedia sensor networks compared to traditional sensor network its more attention with video, images, and other large amount of information and high density of data collection and processing, also therefore in ...

Wireless networks composed of multimedia-enabled resource-constrained sensor nodes have enriched a large set of monitoring sensing applications. In such communication scenario, however, new challenges in data transmission and energy-efficiency have arisen due to the stringent requirements of those sensor networks. Generally, congested nodes may deplete the energy of the active congested paths t...

Along with the fast development of sensor hardware, traditional scalar sensor nodes are now provided with both multimedia and mobility functions. By observing this emerging combination of these two functions into traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs), we take the opportunity in this paper to highlight a subset of WSNs, which we name as “Mobile Multimedia Sensor Networks (MMSNs)”. Furtherm...

Wireless multimedia sensor networks will play a central role in the Internet of Things world, providing content-rich information for an uncountable number of monitoring and control scenarios. As more applications rely on multimedia data, security concerns gain attention, and new approaches arise to provide security for such networks. However, the usual resource constraints of processing, memory...

Wireless sensor networks involve a large number of sensor nodes with limited energy supply, which impacts the behavior of their application. In wireless multimedia sensor networks, sensor nodes are equipped with audio and visual information collection modules. Multimedia contents are ubiquitously retrieved in surveillance applications. To solve the energy problems during target surveillance wit...

Single-path routing protocols cannot satisfy the need of Wireless multimedia Sensor networks, and Multi-path routing protocols have many advantages in wireless multimedia sensor networks. Recent years, some researchers have proposed many multi-path routing protocols. The paper introduces and outlines the different multi-path routing protocols in WMSNs and classifies them according to their char...

Increasing demand of imaging and video sensors in many applications of wireless sensor networks has led to the evolution of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN). WMSN are wireless sensor networks that are able to retrieve multimedia content from the environment. WMSN applications require effective communication of event features in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video. T...
