Abstract
Techniques for underwater video transmission include a model with a neural network encoder. The encoder outputs a class of physical-layer acoustic coding (AC). A training set includes a quality metric, an application layer video coding (VC) structure for that quality metric, and acoustic channel information such that reconstructed video features based on the class of AC are similar to original video features. First data that indicates the model is sent to a submersible with an underwater acoustic transceiver. The submersible determines second data including a current quality metric, a current VC structure and current acoustic channel information. The submersible generates third data that indicates the AC class output by the encoder operating on the second data. The submersible causes a current video stream to be transmitted as an underwater acoustic signal based on the second data and the third data.
