Multiview image compression and transmission techniques in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks: A survey

We present a survey of recent research works on multiview image compression and transmission techniques developed for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs). We classify them into two categories with respect to the coding methods adopted: (i) in-network processing with joint coding schemes, and (ii) distributed source coding schemes. The survey also includes a comprehensive evaluation of the limitations of each approach. Based on the review results, we discuss future research directions, and identify the ways of more efficient transmission of the spatially correlated and redundant data in WMSNs.
