LCS Unmanned Vehicle Sensor Data Compression Navy SBIR FY2014.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2014.1 Topic No.: N141-048 Topic Title: LCS Unmanned Vehicle Sensor Data Compression Proposal No.: N141-048-0637 Firm: PrimaComp Inc. 851 Maxwell Drive Niskayuna, New York 12309 Contact: William Pearlman Phone: (518) 522-7781 Abstract: This project calls for efficient, virtually lossless compression of SAR and camera images. These images are transmitted over a noisy, fading HF radio link, so the compressed bit streams must be error resistant or resilient. We propose efficient source coding (compression) algorithms that have error resilient properties that protect the bitstream from degradation due to channel impairments. Benefits: cleaner sonar images for medical and military applications; better reception with smaller required bandwidth of image and video from impaired channels Return
