I'm looking for compression routines for scanned B/W images.
The compression/decompression should be fairly fast.
They are to be included in a C program, so C code would be nice.
The images are of two kinds:
* Handwritten text with maybe a sketch. Could be compressed be a
"lossy" algorithm, since the image quality isn't too critical.
Perhaps an intelligent way of vectorizing the pixel data could
be applied (the compression factor is important).
* Pictures from an electronic microscope, I beleive no loss in
image quality could be accepted.
There is a need to crypt the data, so a routine for that , which
could be incorporated would be fine...
