Abstract
Effective data compression technology is essential for addressing data storage and transmission needs, especially given the escalating volume and complexity of data generated by contemporary astronomy. In this study, we propose utilizing deep learning-based lossless compression techniques to improve compression efficiency. We begin with a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the temporal and spatial redundancy in solar observation data. Based on this analysis, we introduce a novel deep learning-based framework called AstroDLLC for the lossless compression of astronomical solar images. AstroDLLC first segments high-resolution images into blocks to ensure that deep learning model training does not rely on high-computation power devices. It then addresses the non-normality of the partitioned data through simple reversible computational methods. Finally, it utilizes Bit-swap to train deep learning models that capture redundant features across multiple image frames, thereby enhancing compression efficiency. Comprehensive evaluations using data from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope reveal that AstroDLLC achieves a maximum compression ratio of 3.00 per image, surpassing Gzip, RICE, and other lossless technologies. The performance of AstroDLLC underscores its potential to address data compression challenges in astronomy.
期刊介绍:
The Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP), the technical journal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP), has been published regularly since 1889, and is an integral part of the ASP''s mission to advance the science of astronomy and disseminate astronomical information. The journal provides an outlet for astronomical results of a scientific nature and serves to keep readers in touch with current astronomical research. It contains refereed research and instrumentation articles, invited and contributed reviews, tutorials, and dissertation summaries.
