The progressive growth in the scope and scale of wireless sensor networks have explored new dimensions of potential research in this domain. Traditionally they are viewed as resource constrained and application specific localized adhoc networks. The capabilities of the sensor node have increased many fold with the advent of new sensors, miniaturization of electronic devices and storage facilities. Now a days the sensor nodes are equipped with on chip CMOS cameras, Flash memory and considerably large storage space and power resources. Many changes in communication protocols have led to the possible integration of heterogeneous sensor networks into the existing infrastructure based networks. With all these capabilities sensor nodes are capable to transmit multimedia data such as video, audio, image etc. seamlessly over the large scale networks leading to large scale Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNS). For optimizing the data transmission and storage of the generated huge multimedia data we have proposed De-Duplication aware clustering in WMSNS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
