    Hyperspectral image compression : adapting SPIHT and EZW to Anisotropic 3-D Wavelet Coding

    Get PDF
    Hyperspectral images present some specific characteristics that should be used by an efficient compression system. In compression, wavelets have shown a good adaptability to a wide range of data, while being of reasonable complexity. Some wavelet-based compression algorithms have been successfully used for some hyperspectral space missions. This paper focuses on the optimization of a full wavelet compression system for hyperspectral images. Each step of the compression algorithm is studied and optimized. First, an algorithm to find the optimal 3-D wavelet decomposition in a rate-distortion sense is defined. Then, it is shown that a specific fixed decomposition has almost the same performance, while being more useful in terms of complexity issues. It is shown that this decomposition significantly improves the classical isotropic decomposition. One of the most useful properties of this fixed decomposition is that it allows the use of zero tree algorithms. Various tree structures, creating a relationship between coefficients, are compared. Two efficient compression methods based on zerotree coding (EZW and SPIHT) are adapted on this near-optimal decomposition with the best tree structure found. Performances are compared with the adaptation of JPEG 2000 for hyperspectral images on six different areas presenting different statistical properties

    An optimized discrete wavelet transform compression technique for image transferring over wireless multimedia sensor network

    Transferring images in a wireless multimedia sensor network (WMSN) knows a fast development in both research and fields of application. Nevertheless, this area of research faces many problems such as the low quality of the received images after their decompression, the limited number of reconstructed images at the base station, and the high-energy consumption used in the process of compression and decompression. In order to fix these problems, we proposed a compression method based on the classic discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Our method applies the wavelet compression technique multiple times on the same image. As a result, we found that the number of received images is higher than using the classic DWT. In addition, the quality of the received images is much higher compared to the standard DWT. Finally, the energy consumption is lower when we use our technique. Therefore, we can say that our proposed compression technique is more adapted to the WMSN environment

    A Multilevel Fuzzy Transform Method for High Resolution Image Compression

    Get PDF
    The Multilevel Fuzzy Transform technique (MF-tr) is a hierarchical image compression method based on Fuzzy Transform, which is successfully used to compress images and manage the information loss of the reconstructed image. Unlike other lossy image compression methods, it ensures that the quality of the reconstructed image is not lower than a prefixed threshold. However, this method is not suitable for compressing massive images due to the high processing times and memory usage. In this paper, we propose a variation of MF-tr for the compression of massive images. The image is divided into tiles, each of which is individually compressed using MF-tr; thereafter, the image is reconstructed by merging the decompressed tiles. Comparative tests performed on remote sensing images show that the proposed method provides better performance than MF-tr in terms of compression rate and CPU time. Moreover, comparison tests show that our method reconstructs the image with CPU times that are at least two times less than those obtained using the MF-tr algorithm

    Eye-Sat es un Proyecto de nano satélites, dirigido por el CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) y desarrollado principalmente por estudiantes de varias escuelas de ingeniería del territorio francés. El objetivo de este pequeño telescopio no solo radica en la oportunidad de realizar la demostración de distintos dispositivos tecnológicos, sino que también tiene como misión la adquisición de fotografías en la bandas de color e infrarrojo de la vía Láctea, así como el estudio de la intensidad y polarización de la luz Zodiacal. Los requerimientos de la misión exigen el desarrollo de un algoritmo de compresión de imágenes sin pérdidas para las imágenes “Color Filter Array” CFA (Bayer) e infrarrojas adquiridas por el satélite. Como miembro de la comisión consultativa para los sistemas espaciales, CNES ha seleccionado el estándar CCSDS-123.0-B como algoritmo base para cumplir los requerimientos de la misión. A este algoritmo se le añadirán modificaciones o mejoras, adaptadas a las imágenes tipo, con el fin de mejorar las prestaciones de compresión y de complejidad. La implementación y la optimización del algoritmo será desarrollada sobre la plataforma Xilinx Zynq® All Programmable SoC, el cual incluye una FPGA y un Dual-core ARM® Cortex™-A9 processor with NEONTM DSP/FPU Engine

    This document is the proceedings from the 'Science Information Management and Data Compression Workshop,' which was held on October 26-27, 1995, at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland. The Workshop explored promising computational approaches for handling the collection, ingestion, archival, and retrieval of large quantities of data in future Earth and space science missions. It consisted of fourteen presentations covering a range of information management and data compression approaches that are being or have been integrated into actual or prototypical Earth or space science data information systems, or that hold promise for such an application. The Workshop was organized by James C. Tilton and Robert F. Cromp of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

    Feasibility and performances of compressed-sensing and sparse map-making with Herschel/PACS data

    Full text link
    The Herschel Space Observatory of ESA was launched in May 2009 and is in operation since. From its distant orbit around L2 it needs to transmit a huge quantity of information through a very limited bandwidth. This is especially true for the PACS imaging camera which needs to compress its data far more than what can be achieved with lossless compression. This is currently solved by including lossy averaging and rounding steps on board. Recently, a new theory called compressed-sensing emerged from the statistics community. This theory makes use of the sparsity of natural (or astrophysical) images to optimize the acquisition scheme of the data needed to estimate those images. Thus, it can lead to high compression factors. A previous article by Bobin et al. (2008) showed how the new theory could be applied to simulated Herschel/PACS data to solve the compression requirement of the instrument. In this article, we show that compressed-sensing theory can indeed be successfully applied to actual Herschel/PACS data and give significant improvements over the standard pipeline. In order to fully use the redundancy present in the data, we perform full sky map estimation and decompression at the same time, which cannot be done in most other compression methods. We also demonstrate that the various artifacts affecting the data (pink noise, glitches, whose behavior is a priori not well compatible with compressed-sensing) can be handled as well in this new framework. Finally, we make a comparison between the methods from the compressed-sensing scheme and data acquired with the standard compression scheme. We discuss improvements that can be made on ground for the creation of sky maps from the data.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, 5 tables, peer-reviewed articl

    Tesis de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Facultad de Informática, leída el 18-12-2020Sensors are nowadays in all aspects of human life. When possible, sensors are used remotely. This is less intrusive, avoids interferces in the measuring process, and more convenient for the scientist. One of the most recurrent concerns in the last decades has been sustainability of the planet, and how the changes it is facing can be monitored. Remote sensing of the earth has seen an explosion in activity, with satellites now being launched on a weekly basis to perform remote analysis of the earth, and planes surveying vast areas for closer analysis...Los sensores aparecen hoy en día en todos los aspectos de nuestra vida.

    Image Compression Techniques: A Survey in Lossless and Lossy algorithms

    Get PDF
    The bandwidth of the communication networks has been increased continuously as results of technological advances. However, the introduction of new services and the expansion of the existing ones have resulted in even higher demand for the bandwidth. This explains the many efforts currently being invested in the area of data compression. The primary goal of these works is to develop techniques of coding information sources such as speech, image and video to reduce the number of bits required to represent a source without significantly degrading its quality. With the large increase in the generation of digital image data, there has been a correspondingly large increase in research activity in the field of image compression. The goal is to represent an image in the fewest number of bits without losing the essential information content within. Images carry three main type of information: redundant, irrelevant, and useful. Redundant information is the deterministic part of the information, which can be reproduced without loss from other information contained in the image. Irrelevant information is the part of information that has enormous details, which are beyond the limit of perceptual significance (i.e., psychovisual redundancy). Useful information, on the other hand, is the part of information, which is neither redundant nor irrelevant. Human usually observes decompressed images. Therefore, their fidelities are subject to the capabilities and limitations of the Human Visual System. This paper provides a survey on various image compression techniques, their limitations, compression rates and highlights current research in medical image compression
