Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is required to develop a group of crawler robots which can autonomously travel and monitor around a rescue scene. In such a scene, there is no well prepared infrastructure for telecommunications for the autonomous travel robots. This research develops a new video processing method for visual odometry based on high dynamic range image processing techniques. It also develops a new data compression method for a narrow band telecommunication network based on the functionally layered coding technique.
