(2) To show the system performance practically, especially the image transmission in terms of power consumption usages of EVAP poultry farms, we configured four image transmission
scenarios as follows: (1) periodically sending a color image every minute (Set 1), (2) periodically sending a color image every odd minute and grayscale in each even minute
(Set 2), (3) periodically sending a color image in each 5th minute and grayscale in between for each minute (Set 3), and (4) periodically sending a color image in each 5th minute
and randomly either sending grayscale or not sending if the poulty movement (histogram) is within the specific threshold (Set 4). We used the function-call, Sensor[’’BetteryRemain’’] = Battery.GetDefault().RemainingChargePercent; to receive the battery percentage left. This scenario was performed such that the population density will only compute directly from the grayscale images, and the administrator can also send a command for a colored snapshot, so taking a periodic colored image may not be a necessity. Other sensor information, including light, temperature, and humidity, was also sent every minute. It is worth noting that we do not measure the power consumption of the controller logics interfacing with other sensors because those logics may be operated by the mote controller
