Improved Decoding Methods of Visible Light Communication System for ITS Using LED Array and High-Speed Camera
In this paper, we consider visible light communication systems using LED array as a transmitter and high-speed camera as a receiver for Intelligent Transport System (ITS). Previously, we have proposed the hierarchical coding scheme which allocates data to spatial frequency components of the image depending on the priority. This scheme is possible to receive information of the high-priority even if communication distance is long. However, we need to distinguish multi-valued data from the received image by using a hierarchical coding. In this paper, we propose two improved decoding methods, and demonstrate to distinguish multi-valued data more correctly in the experiment.
