Andrianov M.N., Bumaghin A.V., Gondar` A.V., Kalashnikov K.S., et al.   Image encoding techniques in industrial automation and robotics systems

Modern automation systems often work not only with instrument readings but with large volumes of video data as well. These include dangerous plant monitoring systems, video telemetry, machine vision for robots and image analysis. Against this background, high-speed effective video data compression looks very topical. A number of methods are currently applied in most of modern video information and static image encoding systems characterized by different data compression ratios. All these techniques presume a trade-off between processing speed, compression ratio and the quality of the restored image. The paper analyzes the basic image compression phases from the viewpoint of their acceleration by means of hardware-based parallelization, and outlines their implementation based on existing electronics.
Keywords: data compression, encoding, video images, parallel computing.
