Study on data compression systems for operational remote sensing

This report describes the outcome of a study on data compression systems for operational remote sensing, initiated by ESOC. Purpose of this study is to examine the consequences of data compression in the METEOSAT imagery data dissemination mission. The outcome of the data analysis (intraframe data compression based upon pixel differences) is...

Final report on study, design and evaluation of data reduction by encoding or information extraction: part III: algorithm design

In this report several data compression techniques for the compression of multispectral imagery, multiframe imagery and scientific data are described and a performance illustration of each algorithm is given.

Final report on study, design and evaluation of data reduction by encoding or information extraction: part I: data generation analysis

In this report a survey of past and future (ESA) payloads is given and relevant classes of instruments are identified. For each of the classes of multispectral instruments, multiframe imaging instruments and nonimaging instruments, those instruments are selected, whose data sets seem appropriate for the evaluation of the data compression methods...
