Abstract
Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) provide realization of applications which are usable everywhere and address many fields like mobile health care, environmental surveillance and traffic monitoring. Large amount of data causes to traffic in memory resources, difficulties in operation, and excessive power consumption - which is the most important one - for every node while WMSNs transfer multimedia data during those applications. Those kinds of problems are vital for WMSNs which already have limited resources. Image compression can be one of the effective solutions to overcome those problems. Thus, network lifetime of WMSNs can be increased significantly and the bandwidth can be used in a more effective way. The main purpose of this study is to investigate image compression algorithms used for WMSNs in the literature and to show which algorithm is advantageous in which case by making comparisons among them.
