Soft computing and minimization/optimization of video/imagery redundancy

Abstract

This paper investigates the application of soft computing techniques to minimize video/imagery tactical redundancy, to enable video and high-resolution still imagery transmission through low-bandwidth tactical radio channels in the Future Combat System, including spatial, temporal event, and shape extraction for object-oriented processing.

Soft computing and small system integration

“…For #2 (Image), we apply the above Wavelet-Mallat PUMA firmware into image compression; thus, obtaining higher compression (up to 50:1 [7] ), and even better quality then JPEG-2000 [7] .…”

Tribute to Emil Wolf: Science and Engineering Legacy of Physical Optics

“…Among the many types of optics and imaging at POC are: single-mode GaAs channel waveguide pigtailing [21]; WKB analytic modeling of nonuniform holograms [36]; stratified volume diffraction elements [36]; optical computer motherboards [36]; millimeter wave antennas based on physical optics principles [63]; spatial coherence filtering [64]; and nonlinear grating filters for laser eye-protection [65,66]. Recently, electronic imaging technologies have been in development at POC [67][68][69][70][71][72].…”
