SPOT image compression using block truncation coding techniques
Kai‐Kuang Ma, Lei Huang, Shan Zhu, Anthony T. S. Ho · 2002
The two most attractive block truncation coding methods, full-band absolute moment block truncation coding (AMBTC) and subband AMBTC (SAMBTC), are exploited to compress SPOT images. Results clearly show that SAMBTC is superior to full-band AMBTC on achieving better imaging quality, especially at low bit rates, plus other attractive system merits.
