New Technology High Efficiency and High Stability Color Motion Video Compression System.

摘要

New video signal compression technology including a novel mathematical transform was previously developed by Avelex to provide for low bit rate transmission of full motion monochrome imagery. The nature of this new technology has suggested that chrominance might be added to provide full color imagery with a rather small increase in the bit rate required for transmission above that required for the monochrome transmission alone. The subject task was proposed to DARPA to demonstrate the feasibility of a full color, full motion video compression system which could be used for Defense Department and other Government Agencies, as well as commercial applications. Two signal processing techniques were proposed for the DARPA work which have been implemented and experimentally evaluated with successful outcomes, and the results herein reported. Additionally, a Videotape showing the experimental results is submitted as auxillary information to this final report.
