ERTS image data compression technique evaluationThe background and results of an investigation concerning the use of multispectral data compression in the ERTS program are presented. An average compression of greater than 2:1 has been achieved under the constraint of zero distortion in the reconstructed image, and four MSS tapes can be compressed to fill less than one reel of magnetic tape. A preliminary study of the hardware implementation of this processor proves the feasability of compression at input bit rates of over 100Mbs.
