Field Validation of Prior-Based Image Compression for Tetherless Operation of Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles

Efficient visual communication is critical for tetherless operation of underwater remotely operated vehicles, where acoustic links severely constrain bandwidth. Prior work introduced NVSPrior, which uses novel view synthesis with 3D Gaussian Splatting to encode scene priors, together with iNVS, a gr
