We propose a new lossy compression algorithm for hyperspectral images, which is based on the spectral Karhunen-Loeve transform, followed by spatial JPEG 2000, which employs a model of anomalous pixels during the compression process. Results on Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer scenes show that the new algorithm provides better rate-distortion performance, as well as improved anomaly detection performance, with respect to the state of the art.
