Study the optimal way to store B/W images in the
memory. The following issues should be addressed:
1) Rapidity of 90- and 180-degree rotation and mirror
operations.
2) Rapidity of fast approximate diadic Radon transform.
3) Rapidity of transformation towards the standard
representation (monochrome bitmap, LSB2MSB or MSB2LSB).
4) Rapidity of connected component analysis.
5) Spatial reference locality.
6) Memory alignment.
The points 5 and 6 leave no other option except of
grouping the pixels in 8x8 blocks. Thus the only open
question is about the order of bits inside each block.
