libcharls2 - 2.2.0+dfsg-2 main

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.
