Abstract

In mobile robots control, the vision system is placed in the feedback loop, and it requires the ability to extract the necessary information for multiple real-time image and video processing tasks. Image compression techniques are useful in vision systems for large data streaming, like image transmission, archival and retrieval purposes. Neural networks (NN) are widely used in image processing, for solving different issues, with different NN topology, training and testing sets selection, and learning algorithms. Aspects of grayscale image compression for vision system in mobile robots using artificial NNs are discussed in this paper. Several feed-forward neural networks (FFNN) are analyzed, using different structures, input dimensions, neuron numbers, and performance criteria. The goal of the paper is to study the behavior of low-complexity FFNN models for grayscale image compression, with good compression rate and small enough errors for the vision system purposes in mobile robots.
