COMPRESSION OF MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGES USING HEVC STANDARD
University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences
Abstract
Satellites for multispectral imaging of Earth, such as American Landsat 8 and European Sentinel-2, daily make huge amounts of high resolution images. Their storage requires lots of digital space, which increases equipment costs. Landsat saves images in uncompressed format, while Sentinel uses JPEG2000 compression. Goal of this paper is to compare High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and JPEG2000 standards for compression of these images, and determine if HEVC would be a better solution.
