This program has been adapted from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's C language implementation of the CCSDS 122.0-B-2 Recommended Standard for Image Data Compression. It has also been made to include code that allows binding to Python using pybind.

Information on the original source program and its calling arguments for image parameters can be found at the following website: http://hyperspectral.unl.edu

Please note header comments for each file, as we have attempted to adapt the source code to more modern capabilities while maintaining portability.

It should be possible to use the Makefile in the source directory to build the bpe program without incorporating the extra code used to bind it to Python.

Note: The source program has a command line option to indicate if pixels are signed or unsigned. This option has been omitted from the python program; all operations assume the pixels are unsigned by default.
