摘要
As fixed compression ratio is used in traditional deep space exploration image transmission application,the same compression code rate is allocated to each image.However,since the information of each image in a space observation mission is nonuniform,the image with more information will inevitably lead to more compression distortion than the image with less information.Obviously,it’s not an efficient way to transmit information in terms of data importance or overall distortion.Therefore,we proposed a combinatorial optimal bit rate allocation algorithm to improve the efficiency of image transmission in space application.Different from traditional method,the rate-distortion model of wavelet coefficients for each image in a transmission task was built,and under the overall maximum transmission rate constraint,an bit-rate optimal allocation was applied for each image to minimize the overall distortion of a batch of images.The proposed algorithm can be widely used in image compression algorithm with embedded code stream characteristics,such as JPEG2000 and SPIHT.Experimental results shows that in the range of 2.6 to 10 compression ratio,the algorithm can reduce image distortion MSB by 40%~64%at the same overall transmission code rate,which equivalent to improvement of PSNR 3 dB to 5.4 dB.
