A novel bio-inspired Coding scheme for wireless sensor networks

This article presents a new coders / decoders of images inspired by the retina for wireless sensors networks (WSN). Indeed, the problem of the compression is important for questions of energy saving, in particular for embedded system. We are convinced that a change is necessary in the philosophy which underlies the conception (design) of the coders / decoders of images to end in innovative and successful systems. The main hypothesis in this work is that the retina generates for the visual stimuli a compressed neural code. Our compression scheme is a combination of a compressed neural code of the retina and data compression techniques.
