On-board Compressing of Hyperspectral Images using CCSDS 123

Abstract

A satellite performing hyperspectral image processing requireshigh storage capacity and larger communication bandwidth. Compressionalgorithms, like the CCSDS 123, have been proposed tomitigate these requirements. Considering the constraints associatedto satellites, single-purpose processors have been developedto run these algorithms in Systems-on-Chip (SoC). In this work, weevaluate alternatives to integrate a CCSDS 123 compressor withan embedded processor based on RISC-V and ARM-based architectures.
