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][1] and [120.0-G-2][2]. + +Libaec can replace SZIP. |
