Final report study of synthetic aperture radar data compression and encoding: part III: performance evaluation of speckle suppression and data compression algorithms

Rate distortion bounds are derived for SAR images and compared with the rate versus distortion relations obtained with the speckle suppression and data compression algorithm described in Part II. A method is given for optimally processing multispectral SAR-images. The method makes use of the spectral correlation between the mean return power...

Final report on study, design and evaluation of data reduction by encoding or information extraction: part IV: performance demonstration

In this part IV a number of visual and numerical results of data compression techniques are presented. The results are presented for multispectral, multiframe and non-imagery data as well as theoretically derived (artificial) data.
