Abstract
The paper presents a methodology to reduce the energy consumption of visual sensor node in wireless sensor networks. This methodology, based on a balancing between processing and transmission tasks, can be applied in all those situations where subjective image based measurements are required. Considering that in a sensor node, the communication task is the most energy consumption, the proposed method tries to find the best compression ratio able to give a significant reduction of transmission time, returning adequate and objective image quality and compression time. Some results are presented applying the proposed methodology to the particular case study: the use of wireless visual sensors to the remote metering of water counters.

Image quality measures and their performance

TL;DR: Although some numerical measures correlate well with the observers' response for a given compression technique, they are not reliable for an evaluation across different techniques, and a graphical measure called Hosaka plots can be used to appropriately specify not only the amount, but also the type of degradation in reconstructed images.
