چکیده

AVHRR is an imager flying on polar meteorological satellites that, due to its spatial resolution (about 1 km at Nadir view), produces a huge amount of data. A method based on the wavelet packet transform is devised to compress AVHRR images. The method is driven by the compression error (application dependent), so that different types of images have the same quality. The best basis wavelet packet is chosen by L1 norm criterion that was found to be the most suited for the problem at hand. Ability of the compression method to preserve most fine structures of the images even at the highest resolution is demonstrated based on some examples. Comparison with wavelet algorithms is performed.  2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Optimization of Energy Consumption in Image Transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) using a Hybrid Method

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs)‎, ‎sensor nodes have limited resources with regard to computation‎, ‎storage‎, ‎communication bandwidth‎, ‎and the most important of all‎, ‎energy supply‎. ‎In addition‎, ‎in many applications of sensor networks‎, ‎we need to send images to a sink node‎. ‎Therefore‎, ‎we have to use methods for sending images in which the number and volume of packets are optim...

Compression of NOAA/AVHRR data with a wavelet transform

An attempt has been made to assess the e ciency of image data compression by wavelet transform encoding using National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) images. Raw and derived images were compressed to various levels and a number of parameters in the decompressed images compared with those obtained using raw data as a yardstick agai...

Image Database Retrieval Using Wavelet Packets Compressed Data

An efficient method for cross-correlating images, in querying operations over an image database is presented. The method relies on a multiresolution compression method, based on a variant of the wavelet packets best-basis algorithm of Coifman and Wickerhauser. It is shown that a searched image can be correlated with the compressed images of the database in a fraction of the time required by usi...

Zerotree image compression using anisotropic wavelet packet transform

The anisotropic wavelet packet transform is an extension of the conventional wavelet (packet) transform where the basis can have di erent scales in di erent dimensions. As there are certain kinds of images with di erent behaviour in horizontal and vertical direction, anisotropic wavelet packet bases can be adapted more precisely to these images. Zero-tree image compression has already proved it...

Fast Wavelet Packet Image Compression

Current standard algorithms for storage and transmission of digitized images start with a compression method and ends with a decompression method for recovery of a good replica of the original picture. Unfortunately any recipe leading to significant compression rates involves some loss of information, and as such has to be matched to the nature of the image, and to our tolerance of error. The m...
