The application of Beidou three-generation satellite technology in short-message communication and positioning technology in power is becoming more and more mature, but the related research on using Beidou short-messages for power emergency communication image transmission is not perfect, especially after the images are transmitted through Beidou short-messages. The resolution of the distortion problem is not ideal. This paper proposes a progressive transmission image recovery algorithm for Beidou short messages. First, taking the JPEG2000 image compression algorithm as an example, the characteristics of the progressive image transmission technology and Beidou short messages are analyzed, and then the JPEGRE image recovery algorithm is proposed. The peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity parameters are used to reflect the performance of the algorithm. Finally, the experimental method proves that the JPEGRE image restoration algorithm has better restoration ability than other popular algorithms. The purpose of this research is to improve the degree of image recovery after lossy compression, and to make a better emergency plan when assisting power emergencies.
