In recent, image data compression method of high resolution satellite image is the important issue for its application and development. The CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) published a standard for the high resolution image data compression, CCSDS 122.0-B-1, in the end of 2005, which is expected to be widely applied in process of compression for the high resolution satellite images. In this paper, it is explained that the current trends of image compression methods for high resolution satellites, and then the comparison results between CCSDS 122.0-B-1 standard and JPEG are described.
