[RESEARCH] Image compression

[jorgenfj]

Description of task

On our AUV we use a tether for communication with topside. During operations we want to visualize what Orca sees. To prevent over-flooding of data through the tether we should look into image compression to reduce bandwidth needed for visualization.

Recommended Reading

• Read up on this repo for image compression using the available hardware on jetson AGX Orin
• And the corresponding github repo
• Test third-party packages like this that can decode the compressed images on our topside laptops (hardware independent).

Suggested Workflow

• Set up the compression on the Jetson AGX Orin
• Verify that the topic messages are compressed by the size of the message
• Try to decode the images on your own laptop and visualizing the output
