<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>

JPEG 2000 is a new image coding system that uses state-of-the-art compression techniques based on wavelet technology. As interactive multimedia technologies evolve, the requirements for the file format used to store the image data continue to evolve. The size and bit depth collected for an image to increase the resolution and extend the dynamic range and color gamut. Discrete Wavelet transform based embedded image coding method is the basis of JPEG2000. Image compression algorithm for the proper use and display of the image is a requirement for digital photography.
