Abstract

The enormous data volumes produced by hyperspectral imagers and ultraspectral sounders have sparked an interest in specially designed data compression techniques to increase data return from satellites as well as to provide more efficient ground archival and distribution of these data. This talk covers some recent research advances in lossless data compression for hyperspectral imagers and ultraspectral sounders.

Bio

Dr. Bormin Huang received BS from National Taiwan University and MSE in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. He received PhD in the area of satellite remote sensing from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1998. He worked in NASA Langley Research Center for 3 years. He is currently a research scientist at the Space Science and Engineering Center, the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Huang has broad research interests in remote sensing data processing and coding. Since 2004 he has been the principal investigator of the NOAA satellite data compression project for the U.S. next-generation ultraspectral sounders. His NOAA co-leads received the 2006 NOAA bronze medal, the highest honor award that can be granted to U.S. federal employee by the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere. Their medal citation is "For reducing costs and increasing satellite earth science global data distribution and archiving through world-leading R&D in data compression."

Dr. Huang has been serving as Chair of the SPIE International Conference on Satellite Data Compression, Communications, and Processing since 2005. He is in the international advisory committee of the 2009 IEEE Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications. He was also invited to serve as Session Chair of the 2007 IEEE International Conference on Information, Communications and Signal Processing; Session Chair of the 2007 IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications; Session Chair of the 2007 SPIE International Symposium on Multispectral Image Processing and Pattern Recognition; Session Chair of the 2006 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium; Session Chair of the 2006 IEEE International Symposium on Future Intelligent Earth Observing Satellites; Session Chair of the 2006 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Communication Technology; Chair of the 2005 WSEAS International Conference on Remote Sensing; Session Chair of the 2005 SPIE Conference on Atmospheric and Environmental Remote Sensing Data Processing and Utilization; Chair of the 2004 WSEAS International Workshop on Remote Sensing; Guest Editor of WSEAS Transactions on Systems, Issue 5, Volume 3, July 2004; Session Chair of the 2003 SPIE International Symposium on Multispectral Image Processing and Pattern Recognition; Session Chair and Program Committee Member of the 2002 SPIE Conference on Optical Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere and Clouds III and the 2002 SPIE Third International Asia-Pacific Environmental Remote Sensing Symposium. He has published more than 100 technical papers. He is the author of the book Ultraspectral Sounder Data Compression to be published by Springer.
