“…Moreover, as long as the radiometric resolution of the image increases, expressed as number of bit per pixel, lossy approaches obtain better results than lossless techniques, in terms of quality of reconstructed images. In the literature, several lossy approaches have been proposed for the compression of HS images (Abousleman et al, 1995;Conoscenti, Coppola, & Magli, 2016;Fowler et al, 2007;Karami, Heylen, & Scheunders, 2015;Kulkarni et al, 2006). Many of these techniques are based on decorrelation transforms, in order to exploit both spatial and spectral correlations, followed by a quantization stage and an entropy coder.…”
