Abstract:Through improving and optimizing the lifting wavelet transform SPIHT algorithm, a simple, high-efficient and energy saving image coding scheme for wireless multimedia sensor networks is proposed. The algorithm uses integer wavelet contains only addition and shift operations to enhance the algorithm, making calculation of wavelet decomposition halved; the conversion rate is improved greatly. Use of quantitative truncated pretreatment technology, A large number of quantization coding of unimportant high frequency coefficients are eliminated, problem of low efficiency of SPIHT coding after lifting transform is solved, Decomposition and encoding of the outermost high-frequency coefficients are omitted, energy of transform and coding is reduced effectively. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that, under the guaranteed quality of the reconstructed image, the algorithm reduces the energy consumption of image compression greatly, Compression efficiency and execution efficiency of the algorithm are improved, which is suited for image compression in resource-constrained WMSNs ideally.
