Saliency Based Image Compression
Intelligent Image Compression and Feature Extraction
In areas that are unsafe for humans to directly study, robotic exploration is an excellent method for collecting and interpreting data. Robots can be used for exploration; but, they require operator input about what tasks to accomplish. In order for operators to plan out optimal tasking, information about the state of the rover is required. Panoramic imaging of the rover’s last position is useful information; however, each panorama is made up of over a hundred high resolution images, and sending this information is hard due to bandwidth limits. In this paper, we explore a way to effectively decrease the size of panoramas without losing mission important information.
