Video Image Bandwidth Reduction/Compressions Studies for Remotely Piloted Vehicles.
M. L. Hershberger, R. J. Vanderkolk · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1976
A laboratory research and simulation program was conducted to evaluate and demonstrate methods of reducing video bandwidth to improve anti-jam capability of television data links. Four laboratory parametric studies were conducted using a remotely piloted vehicle simulator to establish the relationships between video bandwidth reduction techniques and RPV operator target acquisition performance. Nine bandwidth reduction/compression systems were selected based on the results of the parametric studies and compared to a standard IV baseline system in a laboratory systems simulation. A recommended video bandwidth reduction compression system was selected based on the results of the systems simulation, and a hardware implementation analysis of the recommended system was performed.
