Hyperspectral Image Compression

“Compression of hyperspectral images holds importance because of bad transmission capability of satellites. The project is the implementation of the paper-“Satellite Hyperspectral Imagery Compression Algorithm Based on Adaptive Band Regrouping”. But during the course of the implementation many modifications have been made and some new concepts have been introduced. We have made the given regrouping process automatic which has made possible its use as a module before any prediction scheme. Introduction of our own prediction model and its comparison with the given model brought out some key points about hyperspectral images and possibility of achieving high compression rates by using object oriented approach to compress images.”
