Abstract

For storing or transmitting hyperspectral images (HSI) in drone remote sensing, an efficient data compression with low computational cost has to be done onboard. Many scenarios do not allow any loss of information except noise which is not interpreted as information. We present an HSI data compression scheme using H.265/HEVC Main10 Profile Hardware, already integrated on the camera system of a drone. Using reference software, we determine, for each test data investigated, the so called best quantization step size which holds the constraint of loosing no information at the smallest possible data amount. We map the analog sensor gain to the best quantization step size and find a linear dependancy which allows a correct setting of the quantization step size in real-time. Finally, we verify the conformity of the reference software used for the investigations with hardware simulation results. We achieve compression ratios between 11 and 24.
