Traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) capture scalar data such as temperature, vibration, pressure, or humidity. Motivated by the success of WSNs and also with the emergence of new technology in the form of low-cost image sensors, researchers have proposed combining image and audio sensors with WSNs to form wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs). This introduces practical and research challenges, because multimedia sensors, particularly image sensors, generate huge amounts of data to be processed and distributed within the network, while sensor nodes have restricted battery power and hardware resources. This book describes how reconfigurable hardware technologies such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) offer cost-effective, flexible platforms for implementing WMSNs, with a main focus on developing efficient algorithms and architectures for information reduction, including event detection, event compression, and multicamera processing for hardware implementations. The authors include a comprehensive review of wireless multimedia sensor networks, a complete specification of a very low-complexity, low-memory FPGA WMSN node processor, and several case studies that illustrate information reduction algorithms for visual event compression, detection, and fusion. The book will be of interest to academic researchers, R&D engineers, and computer science and engineering graduate students engaged with signal and video processing, computer vision, embedded systems, and sensor networks.

Welcome to the fascinating world of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)! In recent years, WSNs have emerged as one of the most promising and dynamic fields of research and application, revolutionizing various domains such as environmental monitoring, industrial automation, healthcare, agriculture, and many more. These networks consist of a large number of tiny, autonomous devices called sensors, which collaborate to sense and gather data from the environment, process it, and communicate wirelessly to accomplish a wide range of tasks. This book is designed to be a comprehensive guide that explores the architecture and protocols employed in Wireless Sensor Networks. Whether you are a student, researcher, or professional in the field, we believe this book will serve as an invaluable resource, providing you with a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts, challenges, and advancements in this dynamic domain. The primary objective of this book is to provide a holistic view of WSN architecture and protocols. We start by introducing the basic components and principles of WSNs, including the sensor nodes, base stations, and the communication infrastructure. We delve into the various layers of the WSN protocol stack, from the physical layer to the application layer, highlighting the functions and protocols utilized at each level. We discuss the techniques and protocols employed to mitigate these challenges, including energy-efficient routing, data aggregation, medium access control, and security mechanisms. We have aimed to present the material in a readerfriendly manner, with a balance between theoretical concepts and practical applications. Real-world examples, case studies, and illustrations are provided throughout the book to help readers grasp the concepts and envision the potential applications of WSNs in various domains. We would like to express our gratitude to the research community, whose relentless efforts and groundbreaking work have paved the way for the development and advancement of WSNs. We hope this book will contribute to further exploration, innovation, and collaboration in this exciting field.
