Army missions require robust, error-free transmission of video data without network errors.In compressed data, such as with H.264 or H.265 compressors, small bit errors can obliterate large portions of the de-compressed image, or render it un-compressible at all, depending upon where in the compressed data the errors occur.Dropped packets may obliterate frames containing significant mission-critical video data. Our proposed RIVER solution includes: (1) an operable system configuration, including re-configurable and testable H.274 and H.265 compressors and innovative supporting processes to determine feasibility and advance the solution toward fielded use; (2) an Air-to Ground Transmission Simulator, that provides compressed video (H.265 or H.264) with susceptibility effects, for evaluation and improvement assessment; (3) a quantified feasibility proof, using the verified data from the simulations, experiments, and analyses; and (4) A preliminary design explicitly defining the way forward for Phase II.Full Motion Video,Motion imagery,compression,H.265/HEVC,Simulation,Software,feasibility,Open Source
