Fig. 16. Classification result respectively on the original image (left), on the compressed image with full-complexity KLT<br />

at 1 bpp (center), on the compressed image with low-complexity KLT (ρ =0.01) at 1 bpp (right). The number of clusters<br />

is equal to 3.<br />

The best spectral trans<strong>for</strong>m has turned out to be the KLT. In order to make this trans<strong>for</strong>m<br />

computationally feasible, we have proposed a low-complexity version with comparable per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />

The degree of computational saving and the related per<strong>for</strong>mance loss can be tuned to the specific<br />

needs of each application.<br />

The low-complexity KLT, along with a hybrid wavelet-based scheme, have been integrated<br />

into a JPEG 2000 Part 2 compliant scheme. Tests have been carried out on AVIRIS <strong>data</strong>, and<br />

comparisons have been per<strong>for</strong>med with respect to 3D-SPIHT and SPECK. The proposed KLT-based<br />

scheme achieves significant per<strong>for</strong>mance gains with respect to the hybrid schemes and 3D-SPIHT;<br />

it outper<strong>for</strong>ms SPECK by 5 to 10 dB in PSNR. An end-to-end complexity reduction of about three<br />

times can be achieved using the low-complexity KLT, with a minor per<strong>for</strong>mance loss (about 0.5<br />

dB). This trans<strong>for</strong>m is only about 40% more complex than 3D wavelets, but has significantly better<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />

A quality assessment of compressed images has also been carried out by evaluating the effects of<br />

several <strong>lossy</strong> <strong>compression</strong> schemes on the results of SAM classification. It turns out that, <strong>for</strong> this<br />

application, PSNR is a good indicator of classification per<strong>for</strong>mance, so that the proposed scheme is<br />

still the highest-per<strong>for</strong>mance one by a large margin.<br />
