The block adaptive quantization (BAQ) algorithm is comparatively mature for SAR raw data compression at present. This algorithm is on the premise that SAR raw data should satisfy Gauss distribution. But the imaged region is quite rugged, some blocks of data doesn’t satisfy Gaussian distribution. Therefore, a block adative scalar-vector quantization (BASVQ) algorithm is put forward in this paper, namely, scalar quantization is applied when data blocks satisfy Gaussian distribution while vector quantization is applied when doesn’t satisfy. The experiments demonstrate that the performance of BASVQ algorithm outperforms that of BAQ algorithm. The BASVQ algorithm has practical value in some degree.
