Image processing and transmission scheme based on generalized Gaussian mixture with opportunistic networking for wireless sensor networks

For satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirements and image denoising services in wireless sensor network (WSN) applications, based on opportunistic networking technology and generalized Gaussian mixture algorithm, an adaptive image processing and transmission scheme is proposed in this paper. According to the real-time state record matrix, the multi-objective optimization scheme with equalizer coefficients and the opportunistic cooperative scheme in view of energy and computing ability are studied, respectively. Then, the generalized Gaussian mixture algorithm is used to reduce the image data and eliminate the noise interference from the WSN environment. Finally, Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better QoS support capability results such as reliability, real-time performance, and energy efficiency, as well as the image decoding accuracy including peak signal to noise ratio.
