OPIR video preprocessing and compression for on-board aerospace computing

Abstract

Increasing bit-depth of new image sensors presents many challenges on resource-limited, on-board processors in aerospace. This paper provides new results, analysis, and insight with our novel methods for preprocessing with compression of an Overhead Persistent InfraRed (OPIR) image sensor on embedded processors including Xilinx Zynq-7020 and Amlogic S905.
