From the reviews:
„Motta, Rizzo, and Storer … are veterans in the field of data compression, both individually and collaboratively. They bring together a concentrated set of contributed papers, focusing on compressing hyperspectral (multidimensional) data. … This compendium describes cutting-edge compression technology, and is sure to occupy an important position in the current literature of the field. The editors have accomplished their goal of making this technology available to the educational and industrial communities.“ (R. Goldberg, Computing Reviews, Vol. 50 (1), January, 2009)
Hyperspectral Data Compression provides a survey of recent results in the field of compression of remote sensed 3D data, with a particular interest in hyperspectral imagery. Chapter 1 addresses compression architecture, and reviews and compares compression methods. Chapters 2 through 4 focus on lossless compression (where the decompressed image must be bit for bit identical to the original). Chapter 5, contributed by the editors, describes a lossless algorithm based on vector quantization with extensions to near lossless and possibly lossy compression for efficient browning and pure pixel classification. Chapter 6 deals with near lossless compression while. Chapter 7 considers lossy techniques constrained by almost perfect classification. Chapters 8 through 12 address lossy compression of hyperspectral imagery, where there is a tradeoff between compression achieved and the quality of the decompressed image. Chapter 13 examines artifacts that can arise from lossy compression.
