Meanwhile, limited battery power directly affects the performance and survival time of sensor networks. As an extension application for traditional sensor networks, the energy consumption of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) is more prominent. For the image compression and transmission in WMSNs, consider using solar energy as the replenishment of node energy; a distributed image compression scheme based on solar energy harvesting is proposed. Two level clustering management is adopted. The camera node-normal node cluster enables camera nodes to gather and send collected raw images to the corresponding normal nodes for compression, and the normal node cluster enables the normal nodes to send the compressed images to the corresponding cluster head node. The re-clustering and dynamic adjustment methods for normal nodes are proposed to adjust adaptively the operation mode in the working chain. Simulation results show that the proposed distributed image compression scheme can effectively balance the energy consumption of the network. Compared with the existing image transmission schemes, the proposed scheme can transmit more and higher quality images and ensure the survival of the network.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20030667","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,27]],"date-time":"2020-01-27T07:41:11Z","timestamp":1580110871000},"page":"667","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A Distributed Image Compression Scheme for Energy Harvesting Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2657-1464","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chong","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu High Technology Research Key Laboratory for Wireless Sensor Networks, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Songtao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Biao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu High Technology Research Key Laboratory for Wireless Sensor Networks, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lijuan","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu High Technology Research Key Laboratory for Wireless Sensor Networks, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102","DOI":"10.1109\/MCOM.2002.1024422","article-title":"A survey on sensor networks","volume":"40","author":"Akyildiz","year":"2002","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
