Improving the Quality of Automated Vehicle Control Systems Using Video Compression Technologies for Networks with Unstable Bandwidth

The challenges of improving the quality of the automatic control systems of autonomous vehicles are studied. The methodology of the adaptation of video compression technologies for networks with variable and unstable bandwidth is considered from the perspective of a systematic approach to the development of automatic control systems for self-driving vehicles. A modification of the MJPEG-based video stream compression and transmission algorithm is proposed, that allows transmitting up-to-date data and obtaining images of maximum quality in conditions of non-guaranteed network bandwidth. The performance and reliability of the proposed algorithm have been verified during the field tests.
