Abstract

We describe the video compression algorithms developed for remotely controlled vehicles. The algorithms have been implemented on a three-processor real-time compression hardware system. The implemented system significantly reduces the video transmission bandwidth but still keep the important images features. The entire video transmission system consists of two major components, the compressor and decompressor. The compressor is operated in the remote vehicle and decompressor is to be operated at the teleoperator. The algorithms presented are for the compressor. The decompressor consists of the inverse operations of compressor
