Fractal Image Processing and Analysis for Compression of Hyperspectral Images

Hyperspectral imaging is a technique in which the information is collecting and processing across an electromagnetic spectrum. Fractal Image Processing deals with various dimensions of an image. Hyperspectral analysis are applied on multiple frequency bands of images, and produces spatial and spectral information. HSI can elongate 390 to 700 nm i.e UV to infrared and near-infrared wavelength regions. This technique based system engenders narrow band(<; 390 to 700 nm>) images of different wavelengths. By utilizing HIS, visualization can be elongated to invisible wavelengths. Hyperspectral based techniques have applications in various fields such as medical diagnosis, agriculture, food processing, remote sensing etc. In this project, the compression of hyperspectral images is considered. Present work involves Modified DCT-Discrete Cosine Transformation based image compression. Compared with the convention lossless compression techniques of the benchmark multi-component and hyperspectral (JPEG2000), the MOD-DCT lossless algorithm produces considerable reduce in compressed file size for beyond visible range. After implementation of Modified DCT for hyperspectral images high compression ratio was achieved.
