STUDY OF CREATURE COMMUNICATIONS
Abstract
The work reported has as its goal the development of new communication components, techniques and systems from the analysis and/or use of biological phenomena. Research was performed in three major areas selected during a first year program. A system the efficient encoding of multi-shade pictures is described. The system uses a modified version of the contrast detecting sensor cell to transform a gray scale photograph of a two level (black-white) form without loss of pertinent pictorial detail in most cases. The transformed picture requires a channel with only one-fifth the bandwidth needed for direct transmission of the original picture. Finally, the maximum additional bandwidth saving which can be attained by efficiently encoding the transformed picture while considering intersymbol influence to a given depth is determined.
