Abstract

We present a lossless compressor for multispectral Landsat images that exploits interband and intraband correlations. The compressor operates on blocks of 256 x 256 pixels, and performs two kinds of predictions. For bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.2 and 7, the compressor performs an integer-to-integer wavelet transform, which is applied to each block separately. The wavelet coefficients that have not yet been encoded are predicted by means of a linear combination of already coded coefficients that belong to the same orientation and spatial location in the same band, and coefficients of the same location from other spectral bands. A fast block classification is performed in order to use the best weights for each landscape. The prediction errors or differences are finally coded with an entropy - based coder. For band 6.1, we do not use wavelet transforms, instead, a median edge detector is applied to predict a pixel, with the information of the neighbouring pixels and the equalized pixel from band 6.2. This technique exploits better the great similarity between histograms of bands 6.1 and 6.2. The prediction differences are finally coded with a context-based entropy coder. The two kinds of predictions used reduce both spatial and spectral correlations, increasing the compression rates. Our compressor has shown to be superior to the lossless compressors Winzip, LOCO-I, PNG and JPEG2000.
