Abstract

Not Available Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop an innovative compression technique that combines high compression ratio (4,000:1, for NTSC/VGA), high image quality, and low internal system latency. The compression ratio is at least 10 times higher than current technology. The proposed Frame Management Video Hypercompression (FMVH) is a soft computing (information theory) algorithm and runs on the newest IC chip-sets (graphic ICs: 12-layer; 3.3 V power supply; 256 processors in parallel). It will enhance Air Force C3 capabilities with live video and multi-media (video, audio, data), transmitting TV through 64 kbps telephone communication channels; continuous video imagery (T1 and fraction T1); low latency (<250 ms total); operator-transparent remote-controlled by RS232 visual communication with a sensor; very low bandwidth (<8 kbps) by cartooning, 3 hour flash memory storage of video; real-time motion picture communication with AWACS, operational aircraft, helicopters, UAVs, UGVs, etc., last moment surface/aerial target updating; and real-time damage assessment. While Phase I efforts will focus on demonstrating the feasibility of a frame management hypercompression (FMVH) narrowband channel communication system, Phase II will be expanded to a full FMVH preproduction system prototype; including software, chipset hardware, with a physical layer and user application layer adapted to a specific Air Force communication network.
