Abstract

Future high resolution instruments planned by CNES to succeed SPOT5 will lead to higher bit rates because of the increase in both resolution and number of bits per pixel, not compensated by the reduced swatch. Data compression is then needed, with compression ratio goals higher than the 2.81 SPOT5 value obtained with a JPEG like algorithm. Compression ratio should rise typically to 4 - 6 values, with artifacts remaining unnoticeable: SPOT5 algorithm performances have clearly to be outdone. On another hand, in the framework of optimized and low cost instruments, noise level will increase. Furthermore, the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) and the sampling grid will be fitted together, to -- at least roughly -- satisfy Shannon requirements. As with the Supermode sampling scheme of the SPOT5 Panchromatic band, the images will have to be restored (deconvolution and denoising) and that renders the compression impact assessment much more complex. This paper is a synthesis of numerous studies evaluating several data compression algorithms, some of them supposing that the adaptation between sampling grid and MTF is obtained by the quincunx Supermode scheme. The following points are analyzed: compression decorrelator (DCT, LOT, wavelet, lifting), comparison with JPEG2000 for images acquired on a square grid, compression fitting to the quincunx sampling and on board restoration (before compression) versus on ground restoration. For each of them, we describe the proposed solutions, underlining the associated complexity and comparing them from a quantitative and qualitative point of view, giving the results of experts analyses.
