Abstract

In wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSN), visual correlation exists among multiple neighboring sensors. Overlapping Field of View in dense networks leads to considerable redundancy in the collected images. A spectrum efficient clustering mechanism is proposed for efficiently gathering images in WMSN. The main objective of the proposed clustering method is spectrum utilization improving and network lifetime prolongation. This aim is achieved by finding the optimal locations for cluster heads, which operate on different channels for concurrently collecting images from adjacent cameras, such that the number of channels required for frequency reuse is minimized. Simulations show that the proposed clustering algorithm can effectively enhance the network throughput and the energy efficiency of camera sensors.
