Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Package name : jbig-kit Version : 1.6 Upstream Author : Markus Kuhn URL : http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/jbigkit/ License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : implements a highly effective data compression algorithm for bi-level high-resolution images such as fax pages or scanned documents
BIG-KIT provides a portable library of compression and decompression functions with a documented interface that you can include very easily into your image or document processing software. In addition, JBIG-KIT provides ready-to-use compression and decompression programs with a simple command line interface (similar to the converters found in netpbm). JBIG-KIT implements the specification International Standard ISO/IEC 11544:1993 and ITU-T Recommendation T.82(1993): Information technology — Coded representation of picture and audio information — Progressive bi-level image compression which is commonly referred to as the “JBIG1 standard”. JBIG (Joint Bi-level Image experts Group) is the committee that developed this international standard for the lossless compression of images through arithmetic coding. Like the well-known JPEG and MPEG compression standards, JBIG has been developed and published through the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (520, 'testing'), (510, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
