An energy‐efficient discrete cosine transform (DCT) is proposed. It can be used in image compression in wireless visual sensor networks. It is a combination of the recently proposed block discrete cosine transform and a pruned approach. Thus, the computational complexity is reduced significantly. The experimental results show that the proposed transform leads to a significant reduction in computation time at the target sensor node. This will consequently result in a saving in energy consumption. The proposed DCT is very suitable for implementation in wireless sensor networks powered by batteries.
