DjVu is a web-centric format and software platform for distributing
|
|
documents and images.DjVu was originally developped at AT&T
|
|
Labs-Research by Leon Bottou, Yann LeCun, Patrick Haffner, and many
|
|
others. In March 2000, AT&T sold DjVu to LizardTech Inc. who now
|
|
distributes Windows/Mac plug-ins, and commercial encoders (mostly on
|
|
Windows)
|
|
|
|
The LizardTech released the reference implementation of DjVu under the
|
|
GNU GPL in October 2000. DjVuLibre (which means free DjVu), is an
|
|
enhanced version of that code maintained by the original inventors of
|
|
DjVu. It is compatible with version 3.5 of the LizardTech DjVu software
|
|
suite. DjVulibre-3.5 contains:
|
|
- a standalone DjVu viewer based on the Qt library.
|
|
- A browser plugin that works with most Unix browsers.
|
|
(such as Mozilla and Opera)
|
|
- A full-fledged wavelet-based compressor for pictures.
|
|
- A simple compressor for bitonal (black and white) scanned pages.
|
|
- A compressor for palettized images (a la GIF/PNG).
|
|
- A set of utilities to manipulate and assemble DjVu images and
|
|
documents.
|
|
- A set of decoders to convert DjVu to a number of other formats.
|
|
- An up-to-date version of the C++ DjVu Reference Library.
