Overview
Project Title	Low-Complexity Lossless & Near-lossless Multispectral & Hyperspectral Image Compression, issue 3
Approval	Approved
Document Number	123.0
Charter	5.03 Data Compression Working Group
Document Type	Blue
Description of Document	This project extends the CCSDS-123.0-B-2 (Lossless Multispectral & Hyperspectral Image Compression) to include more regional compression and more flexiability to compression. A consequence of this addition is a change in the book title for Issue 3. Such a recommendation targets applications requiring very high-fidelity reconstructed image data and low-complexity (i.e., fast) onboard implementation. Near-lossless compression provides a user-specified guarantee on the maximum error introduced by compression, unlike transform-based methods which work well for applications requiring very high compression ratios.
Applicable Patents	There are no patent issues for this technology that are known by the CCSDS community
Patent Comments	presently the WG is unaware of any patent concerns.
Survey of Similar Standards Documents or Projects Undertaken in Other Bodies and elsewhere in CCSDS	* The JPEG-LS recommendation provides low-complexity lossless and near-lossless compression and supports multi-band images. However, the underlying compression method is fundamentally a 2D compressor and fails to exploit significant correlation between spectral bands, thus yielding significantly less effective compression than the proposed Recommendation. * The CCSDS-122.1-B Recommendation under development provides lossless and lossy compression, and effectively exploits correlations between spectral bands. However, this transform-based method is significantly less effective at high bit rates, and does not provide users with a quantifiable guarantee on the maximum reconstruction error of any sample. This transform-based approach also has substantially higher complexity. * There are numerous other 2D image compression approaches that take little or no advantage of correlations in the spectral dimension.
