Summary

jbig2dec is a decoder implementation of the JBIG2 image compression format.

JBIG2 is designed for lossy or lossless encoding of 'bilevel' (1-bit

monochrome) images at moderately high resolution, and in particular scanned

paper documents. In this domain it is very efficient, offering compression

ratios on the order of 100:1.
