Image compression system for a 3U CubeSat
Abstract
Purpose
Research and application on the design, implementation and testing of an image compression system for a 3U CubeSat.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper is an intensive study on image compression technique, proposed design and approach on appropriate hardware for image compression on-board the CubeSats.
Findings
The paper reveals a method on improving image compression ration while maintaining the image quality unchanged. It also discusses about an appropriate hardware (world smallest super computer) for image compression on-board the CubeSats.
Originality/value
The study provides insight into image compression algorithm.
