Abstract

We present a nonlinear lossless compressor designed for multispectral images consisting of few bands and having greater spatial than spectral correlation. Our compressor is based on a 2-D integer wavelet transform that reduces spatial correlation. Different models for the statistical dependences of wavelet detail coefficients are analyzed and tested to perform linear inter/intraband predictions. Band, class, scale, and orientation are used as conditioning contexts to calculate predictions, as well as to encode prediction errors with an adaptive arithmetic coder. A new mechanism is proposed for band ordering, based on wavelet fine detail coefficients. Our compressor CLWP outperforms state-of-the-art lossless compressors. It has random access capability and can be applied to compress volumetric data having similar characteristics.
