compression - eliminating of redundant or less critical information
  • Spatial redundancy: values of neighboring pixels are strongly correlated
  • Spectral redundancy: the spectral values for the same pixel location are correlated
  • temporal redundancy: frames show very little change in the sequence
decreases the time and cost of transmission and the requirements for storage
