Implementation of the JPEG-LS standard (development libraries)

CharLS is an optimized implementation of the JPEG-LS standard for lossless and near-lossless image compression

JPEG-LS (ISO-14495-1/ITU-T.87) is a standard derived from the Hewlett Packard LOCO algorithm. JPEG LS has low complexity (meaning fast compression) and high compression ratios, similar to JPEG 2000. JPEG-LS is more similar to the old Lossless JPEG than to JPEG 2000, but interestingly the two different techniques result in vastly different performance characteristics.

This package contains the development files.
