If at all, then a new compression type.

There are various quite exotic image formats and compression types out there.

All that it needs is to ensure that the output matches a 2D raster again after decompression - and that any incoming 2D raster might be compressed using that approach.

I mean, if I apply some kind of wavelet transformation and compress the coefficients later, this doesn't necessarily look like a raster anymore, either, during the process...

But in this case you should write it as single strip and hide all coordinate/sub-pixel details within that.

If someone wants to process the raw data, he still may do it.

Or just go for a RAW format, like someone else proposed.
