I'm also interested in a special class of these.  Those that are purely
monochrome (foreground/background) and sparsely arranged (like those found
in animation keyframes).  I am particularly interested to know if any one has
done any work on spline-encoding.  Here, I use this term to mean converting a
bitmap format into a series of splines representing component curves of the
overall image.  The end use of such data would be real-time in-betweening of
keyframes.  If the in-betweening is not possible, I would still like to know
how to compress a reasonable number of image frames into a small amount of
memory.
