Libaec provides fast lossless compression of 1 up to 32 bit wide signed
|
||
|
|
or unsigned integers (samples). The library achieves best results for
|
||
|
|
low entropy data as often encountered in space imaging instrument data or
|
||
|
|
numerical model output from weather or climate simulations. While floating
|
||
|
|
point representations are not directly supported, they can also be efficiently
|
||
|
|
coded by grouping exponents and mantissa.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Libaec implements Golomb-Rice coding as defined in the Space Data System
|
||
|
|
Standard documents 121.0-B-2 and 120.0-G-2.

Libaec includes a free drop-in replacement for the SZIP library.
