In such environments, the VSN energy consumption is affected by a number of camera sensors deployed (spatial coverage), as well as a number of captured video frames of which each node processes and transmits data (temporal coverage). In this paper we explore this aspect for uniformly formed VSNs, that is, networks comprising identical wireless visual sensor nodes connected to a collection node via a balanced cluster-tree topology, with each node producing independent identically distributed bitstream sizes after processing the video frames captured within each network activation interval. We derive analytic results for the energy-optimal spatiooral coverage parameters of such VSNs under a priori known bounds for the number of frames to process per sensor and the number of nodes to deploy within each tier of the VSN. Our results are parametric to the probability density function characterizing the bitstream size produced by each node and the energy consumption rates of the system of interest. Experimental results are derived from a deployment of TelosB motes and reveal that our analytic results are always within 7%of the energy consumption measurements for a wide range of settings. In addition, results obtained via motion JPEG encoding and feature extraction on a multimedia subsystem (BeagleBone Linux Computer) show that the optimal spatiooral settings derived by our framework allow for substantial reduction of energy consumption in comparison with ad hoc settings. date: 2014-12 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/ 10.1109/TCSVT.2014.2329378 vfaculties: VENG oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_source: Scopus elements_id: 1000635 doi: 10.1109/TCSVT.2014.2329378 lyricists_name: Andreopoulos, Ioannis lyricists_id: IANDR50 full_text_status: public publication: IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology volume: 24 number: 12 pagerange: 2117-2131 issn: 1051-8215 citation: Redondi, A; Buranapanichkit, D; Cesana, M; Tagliasacchi, M; Andreopoulos, Y; (2014) Energy consumption of visual sensor networks: impact of spatio-temporal coverage.
