Past Government Experience
Multispectral Compression: US Air Force

Innovative multi-spectral remote sensed imagery compression algorithms
for the US
Air Force were developed under contract. The main advantage of the
solution was its low complexity which facilitated an on-board satellite implementation.
This technology was patented by COMSAT Labs( US Patent 5,513,128)
HDTV Compression: NASA

A powerful HDTV compression system was developed
under the auspices of the NASA Advanced Technology Program. The
compression system, which predated the DVB and ATSC standards used
sub-band coding and vector quantization to fit an entire HDTV
signal within a transponder. This
technology was patented by Comsat Labs (US Patent 5,337,085)
