Am. Volkov et al., Compression of digital holograms and synthesized SAR images of the earth'ssurface using the JPEC algorithm, EARTH OBS R, 15(3), 1999, pp. 431-440
The paper analyses properties of the JPEC (Joint Photographic Experts Group
) algorithm used to compress SAR information. Experimental studies of the a
pplication of the JPEC algorithm to the compression of holograms and images
were performed for real data acquired from aircraft; synthetic aperture ra
dar. The statistical characteristics of the errors which arise as a result
of the compression (and restoration) of SAR images and holograms are descri
bed. These are compared and recommendations for the use of the JPEC algorit
hm in compression of SAR information are given.
