Abstract:On-board image compression has been a growing trend in most recent satellite missions. Since majority of satellite applications deal with imagery; compression of images due to limited on-board data storage mediums has become a necessity. The idea of treating satellite imageries as fractals and then encoding them provides an efficient way of conserving bandwidth and per-bit storage costs. Fractal encoding is characterized by slow encoding times which somehow had hindered its popularity in spite of its impressiv… Show more
