Abstract :
Considerable improvement in satellite channel capacity utilization is achievable through application of compression technology to military communications, especially secondary imagery systems. Standards activities are producing uniform and powerful compression algorithms. In addition, the NITFS standardizes the format of digital imagery and imagery related data. NITFS incorporates JPEG and will incorporate other compression algorithms in the future
