Energy-efficient image compression algorithm for wireless sensor networks in structural health monitoring applications

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), transmitting an uncompressed image consumes more energy than a compressed image, and it is, therefore, the prime requirement to establish energy-aware compression methods to extend the life of the sensor node, and ultimately the network as a whole.This work suggests an image compression algorithm with a low degree
