The proposed method works in the wavelet domain and modifies the wavelet coefficients in a way to allocate fewer bits for cloud-covered areas. This approach improves compression ratio and/or improves the quality of un-cloud-covered areas. The algorithm is implemented with pixel based and codeblock based schemes. Pixel based scheme can be embedded into any wavelet transform based codec. Both schemes allow packing of the coefficients into a fully JPEG2000 decoder compatible bitstream as soon as a codeblock is formed. The performance of the proposed schemes are demonstrated by tests on real satellite images acquired by BILSAT I.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess[No Keyword Available]Conference Object3293322
