Techniques for Selecting Spatially Variable Video Encoder Quantization for Remote Operation

Sammanfattning: In this thesis project, it is analyzed if compressing a video stream differently, depending on the importance of certain features would decrease the data that need to be sent, without decreasing the information perceived by the operator in teleoperations. This is done by using both a static and dynamic selection of features that gets more or less compressed depending on how important they are to the operator. It shows that the bandwidth used is reduced and most information is kept, but because of the hardware used for teleoperations are limited the usability of this method is also limited.
