Low-Complexity and High-Quality Image Compression Algorithm for Onboard Satellite

چکیده
Image Compression reduces redundancy in data representation in order to achieve saving in the cost of storage and transmission. Image compression compensates for the limited on-board resources, in terms of mass memory and downlink bandwidth and thus it provides a solution to the "bandwidth vs. data volume" dilemma of modern spacecraft. Thus compression is very important feature in payload image processing units of many satellites. A low complexity and high efficiency near-lossless image compression algorithm is suggested in this paper. The algorithm provides the average compression ratio of 1. 403 with high image quality for lossless compression. Compression ratio increases as ? parameter increases. Using proposed algorithm compression ratio of 4. 208 is achieved for near-lossless compression. The proposed algorithm has low memory cost suitable for hardware implementation.

Line-cast: Line-based Semi-analog Broadcasting of Satellite Images
This paper proposes a line-based semi-analog transmission scheme (Line-Cast) for satellite image broadcasting. At the transmitter, an image is compressed and transmitted line by line. Therefore, it is much beneficial to satellite applications with low onboard memories. The low delay feature also makes it possible that once a line is acquired, it can be readily coded and transmitted. Moreover, a...

Onboard image processing systems for a hyperspectral sensor have been developed in order to maximize image data transmission efficiency for large volume and high speed data downlink capacity. Since more than 100 channels are required for hyperspectral sensors on Earth observation satellites, fast and small-footprint lossless image compression capability is essential for reducing the size and we...
متن کاملNEW METHOD FOR ONBOARD COMPRESSION OF SATELLITE IMAGES Lianru
Due to the conflict between increasing amount of data and restricted downlink transfer rate, onboard compression of satellite images before downloading has become an inevitable procedure. Striping noise is an inherent factor that exists in the acquired satellite images, thus, for the onboard image compression, the impact of striping noise has to be considered. Image compression is based on cont...

As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...
