The invention discloses a geographic information
image compression method. The geographic information
image compression method comprises a step of preprocessing an image, a step of transforming the image and a step of coding the image, wherein the step of preprocessing the image comprises the steps of acquiring a geographic information image, conducting partitioning on the geographic information image according to topographical rules which comprise topographical rugged degrees, the step of transforming the image comprises the steps of conducting transformation
processing on the image for each partitioning by the utilization of two-dimensional
wavelet transformation, the two-dimensional
wavelet transformation uses biorthogonal wavelets and is broken into two times of one-dimensional
wavelet transformation to conduct
processing, the two times of one-dimensional wavelet transformation are low-
frequency data transformation and high-
frequency data transformation respectively,
processing is carried out on the low-
frequency data transformation and the high-frequency
data transformation in a parallel mode, and the step of coding the image comprises the steps of carrying out quantization on the image processed by the two-dimensional wavelet transformation and conducting coding for a second time, and an ECBOT
algorithm is adopted by the coding. The geographic information
image compression method reduces calculated amount of
image processing and is high in calculating speed, and the quality of the image is not obviously affected.
