<title>Soft computing and soft communications for synchronized data</title>

Abstract

In this paper a new algorithmic and hardware approach to real-time processing, computing, compression and transmission of multi-media (video, imagery, audio, sensor, telemetry, computer data) information, in the form of synchronizzed data, was proposed. The proposed approach, called Soft Computing and Soft Communication, leads to multi-media throughput minimization and data homogenization.

“…However, the proposed solution, although MPEG-compatible, is entirely different from any SOTA-MPEG solution [1].…”

“…By applying advanced video-related soft-computing techniques [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], we can provide supercomputer-class (e.g., 8 BOPS, or eight-billion-operations per second) full frame-comparison-based processing, with highly-operation-specific computer hardware, based on low-cost chip-sets, or ASIC's, when only simple arithmetic operations are basically applied (such as bitby-bit frame subtraction).…”

“…[1], the soft computing and soft communications (SC2) have been presented, in the context of so-called "Titanic Problem " (see: Ref. [1], Sec. 2); i.e., how to collect ji important temporal spatial events, while applying only one or two low audio-like transmission bandwidths, say 64 kbps, even for high NTSC/VGA-class original bandwidth of 221 Mbps.…”

“…This is, indeed, a challenge for MPEG-related information technologies, especially in the context of digital battlefields, where it is often required to provide a continuous surveillance of some critical battlefield areas (e.g., for Battlefield Damage Assessment, or BDA, purposes), with sub-second accuracy and with high-resolution precision. The proposed solution is based on an advanced type of information technology, called Supercomputer-Class Soft Computing, or SC2 [1], as discussed in the following chapters.…”
