A problem of lossy compression of hyperspectral images is considered. A specific aspect is that we assume a signal-dependent model of noise for data acquired by new generation sensors. Moreover, a signal-dependent component of the noise is assumed dominant compared to a signal-independent noise component. Sub-band (component-wise) lossy compression is studied first, and it is demonstrated that optimal operation point (OOP) can exist. For such OOP, the mean square error between compressed and noise-free images attains global or, at least, local minimum, i.e., a good effect of noise removal (filtering) is reached. In practice, we show how compression in the neighborhood of OOP can be carried out, when a noise-free image is not available. Two approaches for reaching this goal are studied. First, lossy compression directly applied to the original data is considered. According to another approach, lossy compression is applied to images after direct variance stabilizing transform (VST) with properly adjusted parameters. Inverse VST has to be performed only after data decompression. It is shown that the second approach has certain advantages. One of them is that the quantization step for a coder can be set the same for all sub-band images. This offers favorable prerequisites for applying three-dimensional (3-D) methods of lossy compression for sub-band images combined into groups after VST. Two approaches to 3-D compression, based on the discrete cosine transform, are proposed and studied. A first approach presumes obtaining the reference and “difference” images for each group. A second performs compression directly for sub-images in a group. We show that it is a good choice to have 16 sub-images in each group. The abovementioned approaches are tested for Hyperion hyperspectral data. It is demonstrated that the compression ratio of about 15–20 can be provided for hyperspectral image compression in the neighborhood of OOP for 3-D coders, which is sufficiently larger than for component-wise compression and lossless coding.

Images formed by different systems are often noisy which makes filtering a typical operation of image pre-processing. In many research papers, filter performance is analyzed for a limited number of standard test images and noise variances. Here we use a recently created color image database TID2008 that allows assessing filter efficiency for 25 color images corrupted by noise with different values of variance, both i.i.d. and spatially correlated. Besides, this image database serves the purpose of evaluating different quality metrics including those able to characterize visual quality of original and processed images considerably better than conventional MSE and PSNR. The study is carried out for filters based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) able to suppress both i.i.d. and spatially correlated noise depending upon a way of threshold setting. It is shown that improvement of PSNR (IPSNR) due to filtering is very close for R, G, and B components of color images and this improvement depends on image content. IPSNR reaches 9 dB for quite simple images and it is only about 1 dB for highly textural images if initial PSNR=30 dB. Note that IPSNR is larger if the original PSNR is smaller. The visual quality metric PSNR-HVS-M is studied as well. The metric PSNR-HVS-M becomes larger due to filtering but in smaller degree than PSNR does. We demonstrate that it is possible to forecast whether or not visual quality can be improved due to filtering or to detect in advance highly textural images for which filtering can be not efficient enough. The provided output MSEs are also compared to potential limits calculated according to the recently proposed methodology. It is demonstrated that for highly textural images the DCT filtering with 8x8 full overlapping blocks and hard thresholding provides output MSE close to potential limits. The provided and limit MSEs differ from each other by about 10%. For simpler images, the provided and limit MSEs can differ by 1.5...2.5 times. Analysis is also carried out for spatially correlated noise. It is shown that efficiency of filtering in this case is lower.
