Abstract :
This paper presents a fast lossless image compression method for space and satellite images. The method, which we call HIREW, is based on hierarchical interpolating prediction and adaptive Golomb-Rice coding, and achieves 7-35 times faster compression than existing methods such as JPEG2000 and JPEG-LS, at similar compression ratios. Additionally, unlike JPEG-LS, it supports additional features such as progressive decompression using resolution scaling. An implementation of this codec will be used in the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)´s Venus Climate Orbiter mission (PLANET-C).
