Abstract

The design of a wireless sensor network is introduced for the metallurgical gas monitoring, in which the sensor node support a slot-based configurable gas sensor array both for metallurgical-specific and general purposes at the factory or far regions. The key technologies to compress the multisensor vector data is discussed with an amendatory LBG vector quantization and Huffman coding algorithms. Both the proposed network design and data compression schemes are verified with the hardware prototype and practical data. To the best of our knowledge, it is a novel exploration and practice for the applications of wireless sensor networks in the metallurgical industries, especially for the metallurgical gas monitoring.
