Video Data Compression for Robot to Robot Communication

摘要

In this report, we propose a new video communication method for the robot vision network in which video signals are shared by "robots" and "humans". A conventional compression algorithm, such as JPEG or MPEG discards component signals insensitive to human eyes, e.g. high frequency band and tiny signals. On the contrary, the proposed method transmits minimum components necessary for recognition by "robots". In case of communications between "robots", data size to be transmitted is reduced by the proposed method. It is also possible to communicate video signals between "humans" by transmitting only the remaining components.
