Information Content Analysis of Landsat Image Data for Compression
Abstract
This paper investigates information-preserving compression of Landsat image data based on an entropy study. Measurements of the statistical information in actual Landsat-4 images indicate a 3:1 compression ratio can be achieved with a simple real-time compression scheme.
