Image transformation, compression, and decompression codecs

Imagecodecs is a Python library that provides block-oriented, in-memory buffer transformation, compression, and decompression functions for use in tifffile, liffile, czifile, zarr, and other scientific image input/output packages.

Decode and/or encode functions are implemented for Zlib (DEFLATE), GZIP, LZMA, ZStandard (ZSTD), Blosc, Brotli, Snappy, BZ2, LZ4, LZ4F, LZ4HC, LZ4H5, LZW, LZO, LZF, LZFSE, LZHAM, PGLZ (PostgreSQL LZ), RCOMP (Rice), ZFP, SZ3, Meshopt, Pcodec, SPERR, AEC, SZIP, LERC, EER, NPY, BCn, DDS, BMP, PNG, APNG, GIF, TIFF, WebP, JPEG (2 to 16-bit), Lossless JPEG (LJPEG, LJ92, JPEGLL), JPEG 2000 (JP2, J2K), High-throughput JPEG 2000 (HTJ2K, JPH), JPEG LS, JPEG XL, JPEG XS, JPEG XR (WDP, HD Photo), Ultra HDR (JPEG_R), MOZJPEG, AVIF, HEIF, QOI, RGBE (HDR), Jetraw, DICOM RLE, PackBits, Packed Integers, Delta, XOR Delta, Floating Point Predictor, Bitorder reversal, Byteshuffle, Bitshuffle, Float24 (24-bit floating point), Bfloat16 (brain floating point), Quantize (Scale, BitGroom, BitRound, GranularBR), and CMS (color space transformations). Checksum functions are implemented for CRC-32, Adler-32, Fletcher-32, and Jenkins lookup3.
