What's new in JBIG-KIT 2.0
Dec 30, 2008
- This major release adds a much more lightweight jbig85.c variant of the library that implements only the black/white fax profile (single bit per pixel, no progressive coding with multiple resolution layers) specified in ITU-T T.85.
- It keeps only 3 lines of the uncompressed image in memory at any time, and only a few bytes of compressed data, and leaves all memory allocation to the caller.
- This benefits in particular embedded low-memory applications, and those processing extremely large images. (There are also extensions to the original jbig.c library and its command-line tools.)
