Image compression using calic

Abstract

Lossless data compression has been suggested for many space science exploration mission applications either to increase the science return or to reduce the requirement for on-board memory, station contact time, and data archival volume. A Lossless compression technique guarantees full reconstruction of the original data without incurring any distortion in the process. In this study we evaluate the performance of several lossless grayscale image compression algorithms like CALIC.
