However, the huge data volume gained by the complex on-board satellite instruments becomes a problem that needs to be managed carefully. To reduce the data volume to be stored and transmitted on-ground, the signals received should be compressed, allowing a good original source representation in the reconstruction step. Image compression covers a key role in space science and satellite imagery and, recently, deep learning models have achieved remarkable results in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a spectral signals compressor network based on deep convolutional autoencoder (SSCNet) and we conduct experiments over multi\/hyperspectral and RGB datasets reporting improvements over all baselines used as benchmarks and than the JPEG family algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness in the compression ratio and spectral signal reconstruction and the robustness with a data type greater than 8 bits, clearly exhibiting better results using the PSNR, SSIM, and MS-SSIM evaluation criteria.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14102472","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,21]],"date-time":"2022-05-21T09:18:08Z","timestamp":1653124688000},"page":"2472","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":56,"title":["Hyperspectral Data Compression Using Fully Convolutional Autoencoder"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4355-0366","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Riccardo","family":"La Grassa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), 35100 Padua, Italy"}]},{"given":"Cristina","family":"Re","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), 35100 Padua, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9021-1140","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriele","family":"Cremonese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), 35100 Padua, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7076-8328","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ignazio","family":"Gallo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Theoretical and Applied Science, University of Insubria, 21100 Varese, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"217","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neucom.2021.11.022","article-title":"\u03c32R loss: A weighted loss by multiplicative factors using sigmoidal functions","volume":"470","author":"Gallo","year":"2022","journal-title":"Neurocomputing"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Yuan, Y., Chen, X., and Wang, J.
