    Looks like CZI is a competitor:

    CZI is basically JPEG compression and is probably missing the multidimensional compressor which is the secret sauce missing from the various formats. It also mentions licensing and legal so is maybe lost in the weeds and not open source.

    Without more info, it feels like this is still an open problem.

    My interest in this is for video games, since so many are multiple GB in size but are also missing this multidimensional compressor. If we had it, I'd guess a 10:1 to 100:1 reduction in size over what we have now, with no perceptual loss in quality.
