Hybrid Prediction and Fractal Hyperspectral Image Compression

Abstract

The data size of hyperspectral image is too large for storage and transmission, and it has become a bottleneck restricting its applications. So it is necessary to study a high efficiency compression method for hyperspectral image. Prediction encoding is easy to realize and has been studied widely in the hyperspectral image compression field. Fractal coding has the advantages of high compression ratio, resolution independence, and a fast decoding speed, but its application in the hyperspectral image compression field is not popular. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for hyperspectral image compression based on hybrid prediction and fractal. Intraband prediction is implemented to the first band and all the remaining bands are encoded by modified fractal coding algorithm. The proposed algorithm can effectively exploit the spectral correlation in hyperspectral image, since each range block is approximated by the domain block in the adjacent band, which is of the same size as the range block. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm provides very promising performance at low bitrate. Compared to other algorithms, the encoding complexity is lower, the decoding quality has a great enhancement, and the PSNR can be increased by about 5 dB to 10 dB.

A Detection Algorithm for the BOC Signal Based on Quadrature Channel Correlation

“…To date, new methods of BOC signal recognition and parameter estimation have been proposed [7][8][9][10][11]. The detection methods are based on spectral correlation [7][8][9] and the methods for parameter estimation are based on autocorrelation [10,11]. The basis of the spectral correlation methods is based on the cyclostationary characteristic of the BOC signal, so that the parameters of the carrier, square wave, and pseudo random sequence can be estimated.…”

A Gradient Vector Flow Snake Model using Novel Coefficients Setting for Infrared Image Segmentation

“…The active contour model can be classified into the parameter-based type [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and the geometrybased type [21][22][23][24][25]. This paper focuses on the former type and proposes a novel model to segment infrared images more accurately.…”
