System and method for selectable semantic codec pairs for very low data-rate video transmission
First Claim
1. A system for compressing one or more video streams comprising:
- one or more image input devices; and
a selector process that selects a selected compression process out of a set of compression processes, the selected compression process compressing one or more of the video streams based on a task that required the compressed video stream.

Abstract
A system and method for using computer image processing for selectable task-based digital video compression is described. The system is intended to reduce travel of experts and let these experts direct field agents in performing tasks remotely. The tasks to be performed in the remote field can be monitoring, manipulating, and navigating. A field agent performs the manipulation and navigation operations, this agent can be a human being or a robot. The task-based compression algorithms use computer vision techniques to extract the bare minimum amount of information from the remote field scenery to allow the task to be performed. High frame rate photo-realistic reconstruction of the remote scene is not generally necessary.
