Entropy-constrained predictive trellis coded quantization: application to hyperspectral image compression

A training-sequence-based entropy-constrained predictive trellis coded quantization (ECPTCQ) scheme is presented for encoding autoregressive sources. For encoding a first-order Gauss-Markov source, the MSE performance of an 8-state ECPTCQ system exceeds that of entropy-constrained DPCM by up to 1.0 dB. In addition, a hyperspectral image compression system is developed which utilizes ECPTCQ. A hyperspectral image sequence compressed at 0.15 bits/pixel/band retains peak signal-to-noise ratios greater than 42 dB over most spectral bands.<
