Project description
Imagecodecs is a Python library that provides block-oriented, in-memory buffer transformation, compression, and decompression functions for use in the tifffile, czifile, and other Python scientific imaging modules.
Decode and/or encode functions are currently implemented for Zlib DEFLATE, ZStandard, Blosc, LZMA, BZ2, LZ4, LZW, LZF, PNG, WebP, JPEG 8-bit, JPEG 12-bit, JPEG SOF3, JPEG LS, JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, PackBits, Packed Integers, Delta, XOR Delta, Floating Point Predictor, and Bitorder reversal.

Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics. University of California, Irvine
- Version:
2018.10.28
Requirements
libjpeg-turbo 2.0 (8 and 12-bit)
A Python distutils compatible C compiler
Notes
Imagecodecs is currently developed, built, and tested on Windows only.
The API is not stable yet and might change between revisions.
Works on little-endian platforms only.
Python 2.7 and 3.4 are deprecated.
Refer to the imagecodecs/licenses folder for 3rd party library licenses.
This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.
This software includes a modified version of jpg_0XC3.cpp.
