  2. What is synthetic aperture processing? • Collect sensor data at a series of physical locations. • Aggregate the data and process it to form an image.

  3. Typical SAS Image • Edge detection • Speckle noise reduction

  4. Why compression is needed • Data for a typical sonar array might arrive at many megabytes/sec. • Storage on autonomous vehicles is limited. • Compression might allow data to be reasonably transmitted via underwater communication links.

  5. SPIHT [Said, Pearlman,. 1996] • Wavelet transform-based • Transmits wavelet coefficients with more information first. • Capable of very low bit rates by recording only decisions made by the encoder. • Capable of arbitrary bit rates.

  6. Basic SPIHT Algorithm • ci,j – wavelet coefficients • μn – number of coefficients in the range

  7. Spatial Orientation Tree • Each pixel has four descendants. • SPIHT uses each pixel’s descendants to decide if a pixel is significant.

  8. Wavelet Packet Transform • Each subband is divided further, based on some metric.

  9. Wavelet Packet Transform • The irregular tree structure makes the spatial orientation tree more complex than in traditional SPIHT.
