Channel coding/decoding alternatives for compressed TV data on advanced planetary missions.
Robert F. Rice · NASA Technical Reports Server (NASA) · 1972
The compatibility of channel coding/decoding schemes with a specific TV compressor developed for advanced planetary missions is considered. Under certain conditions, it is shown that compressed data can be transmitted at approximately the same rate as uncompressed data without any loss in quality. Thus, the full gains of data compression can be achieved in real-time transmission.
