A Comprehensive Review on Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks

To improve the production of agriculture and support sustainable development, precision agriculture concept has been introduced. It helps to reserve the resources of planet and to reduce the pollution. Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN) helps in real-time decision making with regard to various issues such as choosing the optimum point for harvesting, management of water resources for irrigation, predicting crop yield more accurately and estimating fertilizer requirements. In this paper, a comprehensive review on Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN) is done. The different applications of WMSN have been studied such as insects in precision agriculture, the presence of plant disease, etc. The comparison between various WMSN protocols has also been given. Finally, the research gaps have also been formulated.
