An image compression method for space multispectral time delay and integration charge coupled device camera

Multispectral time delay and integration charge coupled device （TDICCD） image compression requires a low- complexity encoder because it is usually completed on board where the energy and memory are limited. The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems （CCSDS） has proposed an image data compression （CCSDS-IDC） algorithm which is so far most widely implemented in hardware. However, it cannot reduce spectral redundancy in mukispectral images. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity improved CCSDS-IDC （ICCSDS-IDC）-based distributed source coding （DSC） scheme for multispectral TDICCD image consisting of a few bands. Our scheme is based on an ICCSDS-IDC approach that uses a bit plane extractor to parse the differences in the original image and its wavelet transformed coefficient. The output of bit plane extractor will be encoded by a first order entropy coder. Low-density parity-check-based Slepian-Wolf （SW） coder is adopted to implement the DSC strategy. Experimental results on space multispectral TDICCD images show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the CCSDS-IDC-based coder in each band.     

星上大视场TDICCD相机的多光谱图像无损压缩系统

提出了一种适于成像谱段数相对较少的多光谱TDICCD图像的无损压缩系统。所提出的压缩系统主要分为两步:第一步采用SPE架构的5/3提升整数小波变换去除空间冗余;第二步根据小波系数统计依赖性模型对小波系数进行预测,来消除残余空间冗余和小波系数的谱段冗余。然后将其与预测值做差进而得到预测残差,同时将预测残差进行熵编码得到最终的压缩码流。最后,使用地检检测设备对多光谱TDICCD图像无损压缩系统进行了试验验证。结果表明,压缩系统能快速、可靠稳定地工作,无损压缩比达到1.544 bits/pixel,比现有压缩系统压缩比提高了0.336 bits/pixel。相机工作在不同的侧摆下,压缩系统可以稳定正常地工作,压缩一帧图像最大耗时仅为26.446 ms。本文所提出的压缩系统有效地解决了多光谱TDICCD图像无损压缩比低和压缩算法整体硬件实现困难的问题。
