Lossy hyperspectral image compression techniques are widely used to solve the problems of data size. In this book, we evaluate lossy vector quantization and JPEG2000 hyperspectral data compression algorithms using red edge indices as end-products that we want to retrieve from our data. Two airborne hyperspectral data-sets for vegetated areas were tested, one acquired from (AISA) sensor for area in Tambisan, Malaysia and the other data-set acquired from (Hyspex) sensor for agriculture area in Norway. Two red edge products: Vogelmann1 and NDVI red edge indices were retrieved from each original...
