Evaluation and implementation of an auto-encoder for compression of satellite images in the ScOSA project

Kurzfassung

The thesis evaluates the efficiency of various autoencoder neural networks for image compression regarding satellite imagery. The results highlight the evaluation and implementation of autoencoder architectures and the procedures required to deploy neural networks to reliable embedded devices. The developed autoencoders evaluated, targeting a ZYNQ 7020 FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and a ZU7EV FPGA.
