    Digital Image Processing
    Sattelite Image Data Compression using Vector Quantization on Wavelet Information

    4. Experiment Result
    Two 512*512 satellite, JERS-1 and Landsat, gray images are used in this experiment on a PC. Fig.5(b) and 6(b) show the compressed images using the traditional method and them gradient images are shown in Fig. 5(c) and 6(c), respectively. Fig. 5(d) and 6(d) show the compressed images using the proposed method and them gradient images are shown in Fig. 5(e) and 6(e), respectively. The comparison Results show that the proposed method gives lesser MSE and more average gradient. This can confirm by following table.

    Table of comparison result
      Traditional method Proposed method
    MSE Average gradient MSE Average gradient
    JERS-1 60.1278 111.4997 55.3232 114.6669
    Landsat 47.6863 86.3965 44.2886 89.0453

    Since the gradient information relate to the details of image , so that means the proposed methods gives more details of image.

    5 Conclusion
    The experimental results show that the image compression using vector Quantization on wavelet information be the proposed method can reduce MSE and maintain the edge's details. Therefore this technique is useful for satellite images, which need the edge's details for interpretation and classification.
