It would be more interesting to get the compression algorithm from Google's WebP or HVEC as used by the BGP image format (http://bellard.org/bpg/) into TIFF.

I've worked a bit with WebP. What size limit do you have in mind here?

I just tried a 8k x 8k encode and it failed with "WebP encoding failed: partition 0 overflow (> 512K)" but a 7k x 7k encode succeeded. There is a certain point where this happens, and it is image dependent. The limits are much smaller than IJG JPEG (given sufficent memory). 64k x 64k works with IJG JPEG.

Regardless, TIFF strips and tiles would be in WebP's sweet spot.
