Abstract
A method of compressing phase history (PH) data includes (a) dividing PH data into multiple sub-apertures; (b) transforming the sub-apertures into multiple coarse resolution images; and (c) compressing each of the coarse resolution images. Compressing each of the coarse resolution images may include (i) selecting at least one image from the coarse resolution images to form a base image, (ii) differencing each of the coarse resolution images from the base image to form residual images, and (iii) quantizing the residual images.
