<p>Present emerging trend in space science applications is to explore and utilize the deep space. Image coding in deep space communications play vital role in deep space missions. Lossless image compression has been recommended for space science exploration missions to retain the quality of image. On-board memory and bandwidth requirement is reduced by image compression. Programmable logic like field programmable gate array (FPGA) offers an attractive solution for performance and flexibility required by real time image compression algorithms. The powerful feature of FPGA is parallel processing which allows the data to process quicker than microprocessor implementation. This paper elaborates on implementing low complexity lossless image compression algorithm coder on FPGA with minimum utilization of onboard resources for deep space applications.</p>

Nowadays, the rate-distortion performance of distributed video coding (DVC) is not satisfied despite its distinct contribution to low-complexity encoding. This paper presents a new residual DVC using an optimized trellis coded quantization (TCQ) to improve the performance of the current schemes. H.264/AVC intra-frame coding is firstly used to obtain the referenced frame, and then the residual between Wyner-Ziv frame and the referenced frame is Wyner-Ziv encoded with a proposed optimized TCQ which consists of the improved quadtree and the improved TCQ, both considering the characters of wavelet coefficients in different sub-bands. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the referenced in rate-distortion performance, and the goal of low-complexity encoding is achieved.
