Abstract:
Wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSN) are a special case of wireless sensor networks, they differ from
wireless scalar network primarily in very large memory resources, the nature and volume of the data transmitted, and the
energy consumed by each node during the computation and communication. The need to compress images seems unavoidable
today. Currently, compression is always performed without loss when it exists because it is so far the only type of compression
tolerated by experts. Indeed, lossless compression ensures data integrity and prevents errors. However, this type of compression
does not provide significant reduction in the volume of data. In this context, lossy compression may be the most appropriate
response. Several compression algorithms have been developed. The objective of this work is to study the major relevant
research directions and the latest algorithms for image compression in WMSNs.
