Remote Sensing Image Compression: A Review
With the increasing spatial and temporal resolutions of acquired remote sensing (RS) images, effective image compression is becoming more and more important. RS image compression technologies have been extensively studied in the past a few decades, and various algorithms have been developed accordingly. In this paper, we provide an overview of practically deployed RS image compression approaches, including predictive coding and transform coding approaches that have been adopted in different satellite systems. In addition, some newly derived RS image compression methods are discussed, with highlights on the new trends of the on-going design and developments of RS image compression.
