On-board Compressing of Hyperspectral Images using CCSDS 123

Abstract : A satellite performing hyperspectral image processing requires high storage capacity and larger communication bandwidth. Compression algorithms, like the CCSDS 123, have been proposed to mitigate these requirements. Considering the constraints associated to satellites, single-purpose processors have been developed to run these algorithms in Systems-on-Chip (SoC). In this work, we evaluate alternatives to integrate a CCSDS 123 compressor with an embedded processor based on RISC-V and ARM-based architectures.
