shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 8 This file describes how to use the IJG JPEG library within an application
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 9 program. Read it if you want to write a program that uses the library.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 10
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 11 The file example.c provides heavily commented skeleton code for calling the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 12 JPEG library. Also see jpeglib.h (the include file to be used by application
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 13 programs) for full details about data structures and function parameter lists.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 14 The library source code, of course, is the ultimate reference.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 15
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 16 Note that there have been *major* changes from the application interface
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 17 presented by IJG version 4 and earlier versions. The old design had several
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 18 inherent limitations, and it had accumulated a lot of cruft as we added
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 19 features while trying to minimize application-interface changes. We have
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 20 sacrificed backward compatibility in the version 5 rewrite, but we think the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 21 improvements justify this.

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 60 OVERVIEW
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 61 ========
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 62
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 63 Functions provided by the library
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 64 ---------------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 65
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 66 The IJG JPEG library provides C code to read and write JPEG-compressed image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 67 files. The surrounding application program receives or supplies image data a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 68 scanline at a time, using a straightforward uncompressed image format. All
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 69 details of color conversion and other preprocessing/postprocessing can be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 70 handled by the library.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 71
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 72 The library includes a substantial amount of code that is not covered by the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 73 JPEG standard but is necessary for typical applications of JPEG. These
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 74 functions preprocess the image before JPEG compression or postprocess it after
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 75 decompression. They include colorspace conversion, downsampling/upsampling,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 76 and color quantization. The application indirectly selects use of this code
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 77 by specifying the format in which it wishes to supply or receive image data.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 78 For example, if colormapped output is requested, then the decompression
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 79 library automatically invokes color quantization.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 80
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 81 A wide range of quality vs. speed tradeoffs are possible in JPEG processing,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 82 and even more so in decompression postprocessing. The decompression library
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 83 provides multiple implementations that cover most of the useful tradeoffs,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 84 ranging from very-high-quality down to fast-preview operation. On the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 85 compression side we have generally not provided low-quality choices, since
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 86 compression is normally less time-critical. It should be understood that the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 87 low-quality modes may not meet the JPEG standard's accuracy requirements;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 88 nonetheless, they are useful for viewers.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 89
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 90 A word about functions *not* provided by the library. We handle a subset of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 91 the ISO JPEG standard; most baseline, extended-sequential, and progressive
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 92 JPEG processes are supported. (Our subset includes all features now in common
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 93 use.) Unsupported ISO options include:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 94 * Hierarchical storage
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 95 * Lossless JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 96 * DNL marker
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 97 * Nonintegral subsampling ratios
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 98 We support 8-bit to 12-bit data precision, but this is a compile-time choice
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 99 rather than a run-time choice; hence it is difficult to use different
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 100 precisions in a single application.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 101
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 102 By itself, the library handles only interchange JPEG datastreams --- in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 103 particular the widely used JFIF file format. The library can be used by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 104 surrounding code to process interchange or abbreviated JPEG datastreams that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 105 are embedded in more complex file formats. (For example, this library is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 106 used by the free LIBTIFF library to support JPEG compression in TIFF.)

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 108
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 109 Outline of typical usage
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 110 ------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 111
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 112 The rough outline of a JPEG compression operation is:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 113
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 114 Allocate and initialize a JPEG compression object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 115 Specify the destination for the compressed data (eg, a file)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 116 Set parameters for compression, including image size & colorspace
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 117 jpeg_start_compress(...);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 118 while (scan lines remain to be written)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 119 jpeg_write_scanlines(...);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 120 jpeg_finish_compress(...);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 121 Release the JPEG compression object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 122
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 123 A JPEG compression object holds parameters and working state for the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 124 library. We make creation/destruction of the object separate from starting
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 125 or finishing compression of an image; the same object can be re-used for a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 126 series of image compression operations. This makes it easy to re-use the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 127 same parameter settings for a sequence of images. Re-use of a JPEG object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 128 also has important implications for processing abbreviated JPEG datastreams,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 129 as discussed later.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 130
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 131 The image data to be compressed is supplied to jpeg_write_scanlines() from
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 132 in-memory buffers. If the application is doing file-to-file compression,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 133 reading image data from the source file is the application's responsibility.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 134 The library emits compressed data by calling a "data destination manager",
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 135 which typically will write the data into a file; but the application can
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 136 provide its own destination manager to do something else.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 137
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 138 Similarly, the rough outline of a JPEG decompression operation is:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 139
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 140 Allocate and initialize a JPEG decompression object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 141 Specify the source of the compressed data (eg, a file)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 142 Call jpeg_read_header() to obtain image info
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 143 Set parameters for decompression
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 144 jpeg_start_decompress(...);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 145 while (scan lines remain to be read)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 146 jpeg_read_scanlines(...);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 147 jpeg_finish_decompress(...);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 148 Release the JPEG decompression object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 149
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 150 This is comparable to the compression outline except that reading the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 151 datastream header is a separate step. This is helpful because information
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 152 about the image's size, colorspace, etc is available when the application
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 153 selects decompression parameters. For example, the application can choose an
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 154 output scaling ratio that will fit the image into the available screen size.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 155
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 156 The decompression library obtains compressed data by calling a data source
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 157 manager, which typically will read the data from a file; but other behaviors
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 158 can be obtained with a custom source manager. Decompressed data is delivered
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 159 into in-memory buffers passed to jpeg_read_scanlines().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 160
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 161 It is possible to abort an incomplete compression or decompression operation
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 162 by calling jpeg_abort(); or, if you do not need to retain the JPEG object,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 163 simply release it by calling jpeg_destroy().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 164
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 165 JPEG compression and decompression objects are two separate struct types.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 166 However, they share some common fields, and certain routines such as
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 167 jpeg_destroy() can work on either type of object.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 168
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 169 The JPEG library has no static variables: all state is in the compression
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 170 or decompression object. Therefore it is possible to process multiple
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 171 compression and decompression operations concurrently, using multiple JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 172 objects.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 173
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 174 Both compression and decompression can be done in an incremental memory-to-
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 175 memory fashion, if suitable source/destination managers are used. See the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 176 section on "I/O suspension" for more details.

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 179 BASIC LIBRARY USAGE
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 180 ===================
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 181
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 182 Data formats
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 183 ------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 184
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 185 Before diving into procedural details, it is helpful to understand the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 186 image data format that the JPEG library expects or returns.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 187
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 188 The standard input image format is a rectangular array of pixels, with each
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 189 pixel having the same number of "component" or "sample" values (color
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 190 channels). You must specify how many components there are and the colorspace
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 191 interpretation of the components. Most applications will use RGB data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 192 (three components per pixel) or grayscale data (one component per pixel).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 193 PLEASE NOTE THAT RGB DATA IS THREE SAMPLES PER PIXEL, GRAYSCALE ONLY ONE.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 194 A remarkable number of people manage to miss this, only to find that their
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 195 programs don't work with grayscale JPEG files.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 196
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 197 There is no provision for colormapped input. JPEG files are always full-color
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 198 or full grayscale (or sometimes another colorspace such as CMYK). You can
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 199 feed in a colormapped image by expanding it to full-color format. However
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 200 JPEG often doesn't work very well with source data that has been colormapped,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 201 because of dithering noise. This is discussed in more detail in the JPEG FAQ
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 202 and the other references mentioned in the README file.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 203
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 204 Pixels are stored by scanlines, with each scanline running from left to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 205 right. The component values for each pixel are adjacent in the row; for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 206 example, R,G,B,R,G,B,R,G,B,... for 24-bit RGB color. Each scanline is an
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 207 array of data type JSAMPLE --- which is typically "unsigned char", unless
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 208 you've changed jmorecfg.h. (You can also change the RGB pixel layout, say
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 209 to B,G,R order, by modifying jmorecfg.h. But see the restrictions listed in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 210 that file before doing so.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 211
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 212 A 2-D array of pixels is formed by making a list of pointers to the starts of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 213 scanlines; so the scanlines need not be physically adjacent in memory. Even
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 214 if you process just one scanline at a time, you must make a one-element
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 215 pointer array to conform to this structure. Pointers to JSAMPLE rows are of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 216 type JSAMPROW, and the pointer to the pointer array is of type JSAMPARRAY.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 217
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 218 The library accepts or supplies one or more complete scanlines per call.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 219 It is not possible to process part of a row at a time. Scanlines are always
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 220 processed top-to-bottom. You can process an entire image in one call if you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 221 have it all in memory, but usually it's simplest to process one scanline at
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 222 a time.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 223
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 224 For best results, source data values should have the precision specified by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 225 BITS_IN_JSAMPLE (normally 8 bits). For instance, if you choose to compress
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 226 data that's only 6 bits/channel, you should left-justify each value in a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 227 byte before passing it to the compressor. If you need to compress data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 228 that has more than 8 bits/channel, compile with BITS_IN_JSAMPLE = 9 to 12.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 229 (See "Library compile-time options", later.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 230
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 231
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 232 The data format returned by the decompressor is the same in all details,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 233 except that colormapped output is supported. (Again, a JPEG file is never
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 234 colormapped. But you can ask the decompressor to perform on-the-fly color
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 235 quantization to deliver colormapped output.) If you request colormapped
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 236 output then the returned data array contains a single JSAMPLE per pixel;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 237 its value is an index into a color map. The color map is represented as
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 238 a 2-D JSAMPARRAY in which each row holds the values of one color component,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 239 that is, colormap[i][j] is the value of the i'th color component for pixel
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 240 value (map index) j. Note that since the colormap indexes are stored in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 241 JSAMPLEs, the maximum number of colors is limited by the size of JSAMPLE
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 242 (ie, at most 256 colors for an 8-bit JPEG library).

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 245 Compression details
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 246 -------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 247
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 248 Here we revisit the JPEG compression outline given in the overview.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 249
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 250 1. Allocate and initialize a JPEG compression object.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 251
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 252 A JPEG compression object is a "struct jpeg_compress_struct". (It also has
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 253 a bunch of subsidiary structures which are allocated via malloc(), but the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 254 application doesn't control those directly.) This struct can be just a local
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 255 variable in the calling routine, if a single routine is going to execute the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 256 whole JPEG compression sequence. Otherwise it can be static or allocated
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 257 from malloc().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 258
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 259 You will also need a structure representing a JPEG error handler. The part
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 260 of this that the library cares about is a "struct jpeg_error_mgr". If you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 261 are providing your own error handler, you'll typically want to embed the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 262 jpeg_error_mgr struct in a larger structure; this is discussed later under
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 263 "Error handling". For now we'll assume you are just using the default error
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 264 handler. The default error handler will print JPEG error/warning messages
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 265 on stderr, and it will call exit() if a fatal error occurs.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 266
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 267 You must initialize the error handler structure, store a pointer to it into
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 268 the JPEG object's "err" field, and then call jpeg_create_compress() to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 269 initialize the rest of the JPEG object.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 270
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 271 Typical code for this step, if you are using the default error handler, is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 272
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 273 struct jpeg_compress_struct cinfo;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 274 struct jpeg_error_mgr jerr;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 275 ...
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 276 cinfo.err = jpeg_std_error(&jerr);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 277 jpeg_create_compress(&cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 278
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 279 jpeg_create_compress allocates a small amount of memory, so it could fail
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 280 if you are out of memory. In that case it will exit via the error handler;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 281 that's why the error handler must be initialized first.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 282
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 283
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 284 2. Specify the destination for the compressed data (eg, a file).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 285
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 286 As previously mentioned, the JPEG library delivers compressed data to a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 287 "data destination" module. The library includes one data destination
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 288 module which knows how to write to a stdio stream. You can use your own
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 289 destination module if you want to do something else, as discussed later.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 290
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 291 If you use the standard destination module, you must open the target stdio
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 292 stream beforehand. Typical code for this step looks like:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 293
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 294 FILE * outfile;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 295 ...
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 296 if ((outfile = fopen(filename, "wb")) == NULL) {
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 297 fprintf(stderr, "can't open %s\n", filename);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 298 exit(1);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 299 }
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 300 jpeg_stdio_dest(&cinfo, outfile);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 301
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 302 where the last line invokes the standard destination module.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 303
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 304 WARNING: it is critical that the binary compressed data be delivered to the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 305 output file unchanged. On non-Unix systems the stdio library may perform
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 306 newline translation or otherwise corrupt binary data. To suppress this
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 307 behavior, you may need to use a "b" option to fopen (as shown above), or use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 308 setmode() or another routine to put the stdio stream in binary mode. See
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 309 cjpeg.c and djpeg.c for code that has been found to work on many systems.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 310
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 311 You can select the data destination after setting other parameters (step 3),
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 312 if that's more convenient. You may not change the destination between
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 313 calling jpeg_start_compress() and jpeg_finish_compress().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 314
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 315
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 316 3. Set parameters for compression, including image size & colorspace.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 317
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 318 You must supply information about the source image by setting the following
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 319 fields in the JPEG object (cinfo structure):
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 320
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 321 image_width Width of image, in pixels
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 322 image_height Height of image, in pixels
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 323 input_components Number of color channels (samples per pixel)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 324 in_color_space Color space of source image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 325
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 326 The image dimensions are, hopefully, obvious. JPEG supports image dimensions
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 327 of 1 to 64K pixels in either direction. The input color space is typically
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 328 RGB or grayscale, and input_components is 3 or 1 accordingly. (See "Special
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 329 color spaces", later, for more info.) The in_color_space field must be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 330 assigned one of the J_COLOR_SPACE enum constants, typically JCS_RGB or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 331 JCS_GRAYSCALE.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 332
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 333 JPEG has a large number of compression parameters that determine how the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 334 image is encoded. Most applications don't need or want to know about all
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 335 these parameters. You can set all the parameters to reasonable defaults by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 336 calling jpeg_set_defaults(); then, if there are particular values you want
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 337 to change, you can do so after that. The "Compression parameter selection"
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 338 section tells about all the parameters.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 339
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 340 You must set in_color_space correctly before calling jpeg_set_defaults(),
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 341 because the defaults depend on the source image colorspace. However the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 342 other three source image parameters need not be valid until you call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 343 jpeg_start_compress(). There's no harm in calling jpeg_set_defaults() more
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 344 than once, if that happens to be convenient.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 345
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 346 Typical code for a 24-bit RGB source image is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 347
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 348 cinfo.image_width = Width; /* image width and height, in pixels */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 349 cinfo.image_height = Height;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 350 cinfo.input_components = 3; /* # of color components per pixel */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 351 cinfo.in_color_space = JCS_RGB; /* colorspace of input image */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 352
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 353 jpeg_set_defaults(&cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 354 /* Make optional parameter settings here */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 355
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 356
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 357 4. jpeg_start_compress(...);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 358
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 359 After you have established the data destination and set all the necessary
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 360 source image info and other parameters, call jpeg_start_compress() to begin
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 361 a compression cycle. This will initialize internal state, allocate working
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 362 storage, and emit the first few bytes of the JPEG datastream header.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 363
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 364 Typical code:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 365
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 366 jpeg_start_compress(&cinfo, TRUE);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 367
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 368 The "TRUE" parameter ensures that a complete JPEG interchange datastream
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 369 will be written. This is appropriate in most cases. If you think you might
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 370 want to use an abbreviated datastream, read the section on abbreviated
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 371 datastreams, below.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 372
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 373 Once you have called jpeg_start_compress(), you may not alter any JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 374 parameters or other fields of the JPEG object until you have completed
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 375 the compression cycle.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 376
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 377
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 378 5. while (scan lines remain to be written)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 379 jpeg_write_scanlines(...);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 380
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 381 Now write all the required image data by calling jpeg_write_scanlines()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 382 one or more times. You can pass one or more scanlines in each call, up
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 383 to the total image height. In most applications it is convenient to pass
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 384 just one or a few scanlines at a time. The expected format for the passed
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 385 data is discussed under "Data formats", above.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 386
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 387 Image data should be written in top-to-bottom scanline order. The JPEG spec
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 388 contains some weasel wording about how top and bottom are application-defined
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 389 terms (a curious interpretation of the English language...) but if you want
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 390 your files to be compatible with everyone else's, you WILL use top-to-bottom
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 391 order. If the source data must be read in bottom-to-top order, you can use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 392 the JPEG library's virtual array mechanism to invert the data efficiently.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 393 Examples of this can be found in the sample application cjpeg.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 394
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 395 The library maintains a count of the number of scanlines written so far
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 396 in the next_scanline field of the JPEG object. Usually you can just use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 397 this variable as the loop counter, so that the loop test looks like
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 398 "while (cinfo.next_scanline < cinfo.image_height)".
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 399
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 400 Code for this step depends heavily on the way that you store the source data.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 401 example.c shows the following code for the case of a full-size 2-D source
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 402 array containing 3-byte RGB pixels:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 403
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 404 JSAMPROW row_pointer[1]; /* pointer to a single row */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 405 int row_stride; /* physical row width in buffer */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 406
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 407 row_stride = image_width * 3; /* JSAMPLEs per row in image_buffer */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 408
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 409 while (cinfo.next_scanline < cinfo.image_height) {
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 410 row_pointer[0] = & image_buffer[cinfo.next_scanline * row_stride];
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 411 jpeg_write_scanlines(&cinfo, row_pointer, 1);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 412 }
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 413
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 414 jpeg_write_scanlines() returns the number of scanlines actually written.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 415 This will normally be equal to the number passed in, so you can usually
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 416 ignore the return value. It is different in just two cases:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 417 * If you try to write more scanlines than the declared image height,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 418 the additional scanlines are ignored.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 419 * If you use a suspending data destination manager, output buffer overrun
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 420 will cause the compressor to return before accepting all the passed lines.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 421 This feature is discussed under "I/O suspension", below. The normal
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 422 stdio destination manager will NOT cause this to happen.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 423 In any case, the return value is the same as the change in the value of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 424 next_scanline.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 425
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 426
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 427 6. jpeg_finish_compress(...);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 428
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 429 After all the image data has been written, call jpeg_finish_compress() to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 430 complete the compression cycle. This step is ESSENTIAL to ensure that the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 431 last bufferload of data is written to the data destination.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 432 jpeg_finish_compress() also releases working memory associated with the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 433 object.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 434
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 435 Typical code:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 436
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 437 jpeg_finish_compress(&cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 438
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 439 If using the stdio destination manager, don't forget to close the output
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 440 stdio stream (if necessary) afterwards.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 441
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 442 If you have requested a multi-pass operating mode, such as Huffman code
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 443 optimization, jpeg_finish_compress() will perform the additional passes using
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 444 data buffered by the first pass. In this case jpeg_finish_compress() may take
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 445 quite a while to complete. With the default compression parameters, this will
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 446 not happen.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 447
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 448 It is an error to call jpeg_finish_compress() before writing the necessary
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 449 total number of scanlines. If you wish to abort compression, call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 450 jpeg_abort() as discussed below.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 451
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 452 After completing a compression cycle, you may dispose of the JPEG object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 453 as discussed next, or you may use it to compress another image. In that case
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 454 return to step 2, 3, or 4 as appropriate. If you do not change the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 455 destination manager, the new datastream will be written to the same target.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 456 If you do not change any JPEG parameters, the new datastream will be written
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 457 with the same parameters as before. Note that you can change the input image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 458 dimensions freely between cycles, but if you change the input colorspace, you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 459 should call jpeg_set_defaults() to adjust for the new colorspace; and then
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 460 you'll need to repeat all of step 3.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 461
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 462
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 463 7. Release the JPEG compression object.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 464
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 465 When you are done with a JPEG compression object, destroy it by calling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 466 jpeg_destroy_compress(). This will free all subsidiary memory (regardless of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 467 the previous state of the object). Or you can call jpeg_destroy(), which
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 468 works for either compression or decompression objects --- this may be more
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 469 convenient if you are sharing code between compression and decompression
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 470 cases. (Actually, these routines are equivalent except for the declared type
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 471 of the passed pointer. To avoid gripes from ANSI C compilers, jpeg_destroy()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 472 should be passed a j_common_ptr.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 473
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 474 If you allocated the jpeg_compress_struct structure from malloc(), freeing
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 475 it is your responsibility --- jpeg_destroy() won't. Ditto for the error
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 476 handler structure.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 477
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 478 Typical code:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 479
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 480 jpeg_destroy_compress(&cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 481
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 482
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 483 8. Aborting.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 484
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 485 If you decide to abort a compression cycle before finishing, you can clean up
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 486 in either of two ways:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 487
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 488 * If you don't need the JPEG object any more, just call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 489 jpeg_destroy_compress() or jpeg_destroy() to release memory. This is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 490 legitimate at any point after calling jpeg_create_compress() --- in fact,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 491 it's safe even if jpeg_create_compress() fails.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 492
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 493 * If you want to re-use the JPEG object, call jpeg_abort_compress(), or call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 494 jpeg_abort() which works on both compression and decompression objects.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 495 This will return the object to an idle state, releasing any working memory.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 496 jpeg_abort() is allowed at any time after successful object creation.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 497
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 498 Note that cleaning up the data destination, if required, is your
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 499 responsibility; neither of these routines will call term_destination().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 500 (See "Compressed data handling", below, for more about that.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 501
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 502 jpeg_destroy() and jpeg_abort() are the only safe calls to make on a JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 503 object that has reported an error by calling error_exit (see "Error handling"
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 504 for more info). The internal state of such an object is likely to be out of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 505 whack. Either of these two routines will return the object to a known state.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 506

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 508 Decompression details
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 509 ---------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 510
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 511 Here we revisit the JPEG decompression outline given in the overview.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 512
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 513 1. Allocate and initialize a JPEG decompression object.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 514
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 515 This is just like initialization for compression, as discussed above,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 516 except that the object is a "struct jpeg_decompress_struct" and you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 517 call jpeg_create_decompress(). Error handling is exactly the same.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 518
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 519 Typical code:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 520
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 521 struct jpeg_decompress_struct cinfo;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 522 struct jpeg_error_mgr jerr;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 523 ...
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 524 cinfo.err = jpeg_std_error(&jerr);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 525 jpeg_create_decompress(&cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 526
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 527 (Both here and in the IJG code, we usually use variable name "cinfo" for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 528 both compression and decompression objects.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 529
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 530
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 531 2. Specify the source of the compressed data (eg, a file).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 532
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 533 As previously mentioned, the JPEG library reads compressed data from a "data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 534 source" module. The library includes one data source module which knows how
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 535 to read from a stdio stream. You can use your own source module if you want
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 536 to do something else, as discussed later.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 537
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 538 If you use the standard source module, you must open the source stdio stream
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 539 beforehand. Typical code for this step looks like:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 540
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 541 FILE * infile;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 542 ...
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 543 if ((infile = fopen(filename, "rb")) == NULL) {
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 544 fprintf(stderr, "can't open %s\n", filename);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 545 exit(1);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 546 }
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 547 jpeg_stdio_src(&cinfo, infile);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 548
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 549 where the last line invokes the standard source module.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 550
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 551 WARNING: it is critical that the binary compressed data be read unchanged.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 552 On non-Unix systems the stdio library may perform newline translation or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 553 otherwise corrupt binary data. To suppress this behavior, you may need to use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 554 a "b" option to fopen (as shown above), or use setmode() or another routine to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 555 put the stdio stream in binary mode. See cjpeg.c and djpeg.c for code that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 556 has been found to work on many systems.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 557
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 558 You may not change the data source between calling jpeg_read_header() and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 559 jpeg_finish_decompress(). If you wish to read a series of JPEG images from
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 560 a single source file, you should repeat the jpeg_read_header() to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 561 jpeg_finish_decompress() sequence without reinitializing either the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 562 object or the data source module; this prevents buffered input data from
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 563 being discarded.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 564
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 565
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 566 3. Call jpeg_read_header() to obtain image info.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 567
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 568 Typical code for this step is just
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 569
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 570 jpeg_read_header(&cinfo, TRUE);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 571
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 572 This will read the source datastream header markers, up to the beginning
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 573 of the compressed data proper. On return, the image dimensions and other
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 574 info have been stored in the JPEG object. The application may wish to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 575 consult this information before selecting decompression parameters.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 576
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 577 More complex code is necessary if
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 578 * A suspending data source is used --- in that case jpeg_read_header()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 579 may return before it has read all the header data. See "I/O suspension",
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 580 below. The normal stdio source manager will NOT cause this to happen.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 581 * Abbreviated JPEG files are to be processed --- see the section on
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 582 abbreviated datastreams. Standard applications that deal only in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 583 interchange JPEG files need not be concerned with this case either.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 584
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 585 It is permissible to stop at this point if you just wanted to find out the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 586 image dimensions and other header info for a JPEG file. In that case,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 587 call jpeg_destroy() when you are done with the JPEG object, or call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 588 jpeg_abort() to return it to an idle state before selecting a new data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 589 source and reading another header.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 590
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 591
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 592 4. Set parameters for decompression.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 593
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 594 jpeg_read_header() sets appropriate default decompression parameters based on
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 595 the properties of the image (in particular, its colorspace). However, you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 596 may well want to alter these defaults before beginning the decompression.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 597 For example, the default is to produce full color output from a color file.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 598 If you want colormapped output you must ask for it. Other options allow the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 599 returned image to be scaled and allow various speed/quality tradeoffs to be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 600 selected. "Decompression parameter selection", below, gives details.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 601
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 602 If the defaults are appropriate, nothing need be done at this step.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 603
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 604 Note that all default values are set by each call to jpeg_read_header().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 605 If you reuse a decompression object, you cannot expect your parameter
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 606 settings to be preserved across cycles, as you can for compression.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 607 You must set desired parameter values each time.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 608
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 609
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 610 5. jpeg_start_decompress(...);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 611
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 612 Once the parameter values are satisfactory, call jpeg_start_decompress() to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 613 begin decompression. This will initialize internal state, allocate working
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 614 memory, and prepare for returning data.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 615
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 616 Typical code is just
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 617
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 618 jpeg_start_decompress(&cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 619
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 620 If you have requested a multi-pass operating mode, such as 2-pass color
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 621 quantization, jpeg_start_decompress() will do everything needed before data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 622 output can begin. In this case jpeg_start_decompress() may take quite a while
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 623 to complete. With a single-scan (non progressive) JPEG file and default
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 624 decompression parameters, this will not happen; jpeg_start_decompress() will
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 625 return quickly.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 626
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 627 After this call, the final output image dimensions, including any requested
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 628 scaling, are available in the JPEG object; so is the selected colormap, if
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 629 colormapped output has been requested. Useful fields include
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 630
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 631 output_width image width and height, as scaled
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 632 output_height
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 633 out_color_components # of color components in out_color_space
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 634 output_components # of color components returned per pixel
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 635 colormap the selected colormap, if any
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 636 actual_number_of_colors number of entries in colormap
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 637
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 638 output_components is 1 (a colormap index) when quantizing colors; otherwise it
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 639 equals out_color_components. It is the number of JSAMPLE values that will be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 640 emitted per pixel in the output arrays.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 641
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 642 Typically you will need to allocate data buffers to hold the incoming image.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 643 You will need output_width * output_components JSAMPLEs per scanline in your
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 644 output buffer, and a total of output_height scanlines will be returned.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 645
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 646 Note: if you are using the JPEG library's internal memory manager to allocate
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 647 data buffers (as djpeg does), then the manager's protocol requires that you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 648 request large buffers *before* calling jpeg_start_decompress(). This is a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 649 little tricky since the output_XXX fields are not normally valid then. You
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 650 can make them valid by calling jpeg_calc_output_dimensions() after setting the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 651 relevant parameters (scaling, output color space, and quantization flag).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 652
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 653
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 654 6. while (scan lines remain to be read)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 655 jpeg_read_scanlines(...);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 656
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 657 Now you can read the decompressed image data by calling jpeg_read_scanlines()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 658 one or more times. At each call, you pass in the maximum number of scanlines
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 659 to be read (ie, the height of your working buffer); jpeg_read_scanlines()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 660 will return up to that many lines. The return value is the number of lines
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 661 actually read. The format of the returned data is discussed under "Data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 662 formats", above. Don't forget that grayscale and color JPEGs will return
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 663 different data formats!
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 664
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 665 Image data is returned in top-to-bottom scanline order. If you must write
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 666 out the image in bottom-to-top order, you can use the JPEG library's virtual
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 667 array mechanism to invert the data efficiently. Examples of this can be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 668 found in the sample application djpeg.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 669
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 670 The library maintains a count of the number of scanlines returned so far
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 671 in the output_scanline field of the JPEG object. Usually you can just use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 672 this variable as the loop counter, so that the loop test looks like
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 673 "while (cinfo.output_scanline < cinfo.output_height)". (Note that the test
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 674 should NOT be against image_height, unless you never use scaling. The
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 675 image_height field is the height of the original unscaled image.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 676 The return value always equals the change in the value of output_scanline.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 677
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 678 If you don't use a suspending data source, it is safe to assume that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 679 jpeg_read_scanlines() reads at least one scanline per call, until the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 680 bottom of the image has been reached.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 681
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 682 If you use a buffer larger than one scanline, it is NOT safe to assume that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 683 jpeg_read_scanlines() fills it. (The current implementation returns only a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 684 few scanlines per call, no matter how large a buffer you pass.) So you must
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 685 always provide a loop that calls jpeg_read_scanlines() repeatedly until the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 686 whole image has been read.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 687

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 689 7. jpeg_finish_decompress(...);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 690
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 691 After all the image data has been read, call jpeg_finish_decompress() to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 692 complete the decompression cycle. This causes working memory associated
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 693 with the JPEG object to be released.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 694
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 695 Typical code:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 696
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 697 jpeg_finish_decompress(&cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 698
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 699 If using the stdio source manager, don't forget to close the source stdio
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 700 stream if necessary.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 701
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 702 It is an error to call jpeg_finish_decompress() before reading the correct
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 703 total number of scanlines. If you wish to abort decompression, call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 704 jpeg_abort() as discussed below.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 705
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 706 After completing a decompression cycle, you may dispose of the JPEG object as
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 707 discussed next, or you may use it to decompress another image. In that case
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 708 return to step 2 or 3 as appropriate. If you do not change the source
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 709 manager, the next image will be read from the same source.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 710
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 711
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 712 8. Release the JPEG decompression object.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 713
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 714 When you are done with a JPEG decompression object, destroy it by calling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 715 jpeg_destroy_decompress() or jpeg_destroy(). The previous discussion of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 716 destroying compression objects applies here too.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 717
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 718 Typical code:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 719
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 720 jpeg_destroy_decompress(&cinfo);

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 723 9. Aborting.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 724
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 725 You can abort a decompression cycle by calling jpeg_destroy_decompress() or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 726 jpeg_destroy() if you don't need the JPEG object any more, or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 727 jpeg_abort_decompress() or jpeg_abort() if you want to reuse the object.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 728 The previous discussion of aborting compression cycles applies here too.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 729
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 730
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 731 Mechanics of usage: include files, linking, etc
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 732 -----------------------------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 733
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 734 Applications using the JPEG library should include the header file jpeglib.h
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 735 to obtain declarations of data types and routines. Before including
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 736 jpeglib.h, include system headers that define at least the typedefs FILE and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 737 size_t. On ANSI-conforming systems, including <stdio.h> is sufficient; on
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 738 older Unix systems, you may need <sys/types.h> to define size_t.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 739
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 740 If the application needs to refer to individual JPEG library error codes, also
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 741 include jerror.h to define those symbols.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 742
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 743 jpeglib.h indirectly includes the files jconfig.h and jmorecfg.h. If you are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 744 installing the JPEG header files in a system directory, you will want to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 745 install all four files: jpeglib.h, jerror.h, jconfig.h, jmorecfg.h.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 746
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 747 The most convenient way to include the JPEG code into your executable program
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 748 is to prepare a library file ("libjpeg.a", or a corresponding name on non-Unix
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 749 machines) and reference it at your link step. If you use only half of the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 750 library (only compression or only decompression), only that much code will be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 751 included from the library, unless your linker is hopelessly brain-damaged.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 752 The supplied makefiles build libjpeg.a automatically (see install.txt).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 753
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 754 While you can build the JPEG library as a shared library if the whim strikes
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 755 you, we don't really recommend it. The trouble with shared libraries is that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 756 at some point you'll probably try to substitute a new version of the library
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 757 without recompiling the calling applications. That generally doesn't work
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 758 because the parameter struct declarations usually change with each new
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 759 version. In other words, the library's API is *not* guaranteed binary
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 760 compatible across versions; we only try to ensure source-code compatibility.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 761 (In hindsight, it might have been smarter to hide the parameter structs from
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 762 applications and introduce a ton of access functions instead. Too late now,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 763 however.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 764
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 765 On some systems your application may need to set up a signal handler to ensure
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 766 that temporary files are deleted if the program is interrupted. This is most
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 767 critical if you are on MS-DOS and use the jmemdos.c memory manager back end;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 768 it will try to grab extended memory for temp files, and that space will NOT be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 769 freed automatically. See cjpeg.c or djpeg.c for an example signal handler.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 770
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 771 It may be worth pointing out that the core JPEG library does not actually
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 772 require the stdio library: only the default source/destination managers and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 773 error handler need it. You can use the library in a stdio-less environment
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 774 if you replace those modules and use jmemnobs.c (or another memory manager of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 775 your own devising). More info about the minimum system library requirements
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 776 may be found in jinclude.h.

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 780 =================
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 781
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 782 Compression parameter selection
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 783 -------------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 784
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 785 This section describes all the optional parameters you can set for JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 786 compression, as well as the "helper" routines provided to assist in this
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 787 task. Proper setting of some parameters requires detailed understanding
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 788 of the JPEG standard; if you don't know what a parameter is for, it's best
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 789 not to mess with it! See REFERENCES in the README file for pointers to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 790 more info about JPEG.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 791
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 792 It's a good idea to call jpeg_set_defaults() first, even if you plan to set
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 793 all the parameters; that way your code is more likely to work with future JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 794 libraries that have additional parameters. For the same reason, we recommend
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 795 you use a helper routine where one is provided, in preference to twiddling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 796 cinfo fields directly.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 797
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 798 The helper routines are:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 799
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 800 jpeg_set_defaults (j_compress_ptr cinfo)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 801 This routine sets all JPEG parameters to reasonable defaults, using
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 802 only the input image's color space (field in_color_space, which must
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 803 already be set in cinfo). Many applications will only need to use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 804 this routine and perhaps jpeg_set_quality().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 805
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 806 jpeg_set_colorspace (j_compress_ptr cinfo, J_COLOR_SPACE colorspace)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 807 Sets the JPEG file's colorspace (field jpeg_color_space) as specified,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 808 and sets other color-space-dependent parameters appropriately. See
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 809 "Special color spaces", below, before using this. A large number of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 810 parameters, including all per-component parameters, are set by this
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 811 routine; if you want to twiddle individual parameters you should call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 812 jpeg_set_colorspace() before rather than after.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 813
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 814 jpeg_default_colorspace (j_compress_ptr cinfo)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 815 Selects an appropriate JPEG colorspace based on cinfo->in_color_space,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 816 and calls jpeg_set_colorspace(). This is actually a subroutine of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 817 jpeg_set_defaults(). It's broken out in case you want to change
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 818 just the colorspace-dependent JPEG parameters.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 819
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 820 jpeg_set_quality (j_compress_ptr cinfo, int quality, boolean force_baseline)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 821 Constructs JPEG quantization tables appropriate for the indicated
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 822 quality setting. The quality value is expressed on the 0..100 scale
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 823 recommended by IJG (cjpeg's "-quality" switch uses this routine).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 824 Note that the exact mapping from quality values to tables may change
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 825 in future IJG releases as more is learned about DCT quantization.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 826 If the force_baseline parameter is TRUE, then the quantization table
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 827 entries are constrained to the range 1..255 for full JPEG baseline
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 828 compatibility. In the current implementation, this only makes a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 829 difference for quality settings below 25, and it effectively prevents
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 830 very small/low quality files from being generated. The IJG decoder
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 831 is capable of reading the non-baseline files generated at low quality
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 832 settings when force_baseline is FALSE, but other decoders may not be.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 833
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 834 jpeg_set_linear_quality (j_compress_ptr cinfo, int scale_factor,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 835 boolean force_baseline)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 836 Same as jpeg_set_quality() except that the generated tables are the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 837 sample tables given in the JPEC spec section K.1, multiplied by the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 838 specified scale factor (which is expressed as a percentage; thus
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 839 scale_factor = 100 reproduces the spec's tables). Note that larger
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 840 scale factors give lower quality. This entry point is useful for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 841 conforming to the Adobe PostScript DCT conventions, but we do not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 842 recommend linear scaling as a user-visible quality scale otherwise.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 843 force_baseline again constrains the computed table entries to 1..255.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 844
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 845 int jpeg_quality_scaling (int quality)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 846 Converts a value on the IJG-recommended quality scale to a linear
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 847 scaling percentage. Note that this routine may change or go away
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 848 in future releases --- IJG may choose to adopt a scaling method that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 849 can't be expressed as a simple scalar multiplier, in which case the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 850 premise of this routine collapses. Caveat user.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 851
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 852 jpeg_default_qtables (j_compress_ptr cinfo, boolean force_baseline)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 853 Set default quantization tables with linear q_scale_factor[] values
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 854 (see below).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 855
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 856 jpeg_add_quant_table (j_compress_ptr cinfo, int which_tbl,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 857 const unsigned int *basic_table,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 858 int scale_factor, boolean force_baseline)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 859 Allows an arbitrary quantization table to be created. which_tbl
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 860 indicates which table slot to fill. basic_table points to an array
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 861 of 64 unsigned ints given in normal array order. These values are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 862 multiplied by scale_factor/100 and then clamped to the range 1..65535
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 863 (or to 1..255 if force_baseline is TRUE).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 864 CAUTION: prior to library version 6a, jpeg_add_quant_table expected
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 865 the basic table to be given in JPEG zigzag order. If you need to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 866 write code that works with either older or newer versions of this
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 867 routine, you must check the library version number. Something like
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 868 "#if JPEG_LIB_VERSION >= 61" is the right test.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 869
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 870 jpeg_simple_progression (j_compress_ptr cinfo)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 871 Generates a default scan script for writing a progressive-JPEG file.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 872 This is the recommended method of creating a progressive file,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 873 unless you want to make a custom scan sequence. You must ensure that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 874 the JPEG color space is set correctly before calling this routine.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 875

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 879 boolean arith_code
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 880 If TRUE, use arithmetic coding.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 881 If FALSE, use Huffman coding.

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 883 int block_size
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 884 Set DCT block size. All N from 1 to 16 are possible.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 885 Default is 8 (baseline format).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 886 Larger values produce higher compression,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 887 smaller values produce higher quality.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 888 An exact DCT stage is possible with 1 or 2.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 889 With the default quality of 75 and default Luminance qtable
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 890 the DCT+Quantization stage is lossless for value 1.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 891 Note that values other than 8 require a SmartScale capable decoder,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 892 introduced with IJG JPEG 8. Setting the block_size parameter for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 893 compression works with version 8c and later.

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 895 J_DCT_METHOD dct_method
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 896 Selects the algorithm used for the DCT step. Choices are:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 897 JDCT_ISLOW: slow but accurate integer algorithm
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 898 JDCT_IFAST: faster, less accurate integer method
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 899 JDCT_FLOAT: floating-point method
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 900 JDCT_DEFAULT: default method (normally JDCT_ISLOW)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 901 JDCT_FASTEST: fastest method (normally JDCT_IFAST)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 902 The FLOAT method is very slightly more accurate than the ISLOW method,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 903 but may give different results on different machines due to varying
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 904 roundoff behavior. The integer methods should give the same results
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 905 on all machines. On machines with sufficiently fast FP hardware, the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 906 floating-point method may also be the fastest. The IFAST method is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 907 considerably less accurate than the other two; its use is not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 908 recommended if high quality is a concern. JDCT_DEFAULT and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 909 JDCT_FASTEST are macros configurable by each installation.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 910
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 911 unsigned int scale_num, scale_denom
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 912 Scale the image by the fraction scale_num/scale_denom. Default is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 913 1/1, or no scaling. Currently, the supported scaling ratios are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 914 M/N with all N from 1 to 16, where M is the destination DCT size,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 915 which is 8 by default (see block_size parameter above).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 916 (The library design allows for arbitrary scaling ratios but this
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 917 is not likely to be implemented any time soon.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 918
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 919 J_COLOR_SPACE jpeg_color_space
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 920 int num_components
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 921 The JPEG color space and corresponding number of components; see
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 922 "Special color spaces", below, for more info. We recommend using
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 923 jpeg_set_colorspace() if you want to change these.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 924
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 925 J_COLOR_TRANSFORM color_transform
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 926 Internal color transform identifier, writes LSE marker if nonzero
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 927 (requires decoder with inverse color transform support, introduced
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 928 with IJG JPEG 9).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 929 Two values are currently possible: JCT_NONE and JCT_SUBTRACT_GREEN.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 930 Set this value for lossless RGB application *before* calling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 931 jpeg_set_colorspace(), because entropy table assignment in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 932 jpeg_set_colorspace() depends on color_transform.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 933
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 934 boolean optimize_coding
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 935 TRUE causes the compressor to compute optimal Huffman coding tables
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 936 for the image. This requires an extra pass over the data and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 937 therefore costs a good deal of space and time. The default is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 938 FALSE, which tells the compressor to use the supplied or default
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 939 Huffman tables. In most cases optimal tables save only a few percent
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 940 of file size compared to the default tables. Note that when this is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 941 TRUE, you need not supply Huffman tables at all, and any you do
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 942 supply will be overwritten.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 943
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 944 unsigned int restart_interval
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 945 int restart_in_rows
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 946 To emit restart markers in the JPEG file, set one of these nonzero.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 947 Set restart_interval to specify the exact interval in MCU blocks.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 948 Set restart_in_rows to specify the interval in MCU rows. (If
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 949 restart_in_rows is not 0, then restart_interval is set after the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 950 image width in MCUs is computed.) Defaults are zero (no restarts).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 951 One restart marker per MCU row is often a good choice.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 952 NOTE: the overhead of restart markers is higher in grayscale JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 953 files than in color files, and MUCH higher in progressive JPEGs.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 954 If you use restarts, you may want to use larger intervals in those
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 955 cases.

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 957 const jpeg_scan_info * scan_info
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 958 int num_scans
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 959 By default, scan_info is NULL; this causes the compressor to write a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 960 single-scan sequential JPEG file. If not NULL, scan_info points to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 961 an array of scan definition records of length num_scans. The
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 962 compressor will then write a JPEG file having one scan for each scan
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 963 definition record. This is used to generate noninterleaved or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 964 progressive JPEG files. The library checks that the scan array
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 965 defines a valid JPEG scan sequence. (jpeg_simple_progression creates
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 966 a suitable scan definition array for progressive JPEG.) This is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 967 discussed further under "Progressive JPEG support".
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 968
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 969 boolean do_fancy_downsampling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 970 If TRUE, use direct DCT scaling with DCT size > 8 for downsampling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 971 of chroma components.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 972 If FALSE, use only DCT size <= 8 and simple separate downsampling.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 973 Default is TRUE.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 974 For better image stability in multiple generation compression cycles
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 975 it is preferable that this value matches the corresponding
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 976 do_fancy_upsampling value in decompression.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 977
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 978 int smoothing_factor
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 979 If non-zero, the input image is smoothed; the value should be 1 for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 980 minimal smoothing to 100 for maximum smoothing. Consult jcsample.c
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 981 for details of the smoothing algorithm. The default is zero.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 982
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 983 boolean write_JFIF_header
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 984 If TRUE, a JFIF APP0 marker is emitted. jpeg_set_defaults() and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 985 jpeg_set_colorspace() set this TRUE if a JFIF-legal JPEG color space
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 986 (ie, YCbCr or grayscale) is selected, otherwise FALSE.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 987

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 989 UINT8 JFIF_minor_version
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 990 The version number to be written into the JFIF marker.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 991 jpeg_set_defaults() initializes the version to 1.01 (major=minor=1).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 992 You should set it to 1.02 (major=1, minor=2) if you plan to write
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 993 any JFIF 1.02 extension markers.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 994

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 996 UINT16 X_density
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 997 UINT16 Y_density
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 998 The resolution information to be written into the JFIF marker;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 999 not used otherwise. density_unit may be 0 for unknown,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1000 1 for dots/inch, or 2 for dots/cm. The default values are 0,1,1
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1001 indicating square pixels of unknown size.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1002
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1003 boolean write_Adobe_marker
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1004 If TRUE, an Adobe APP14 marker is emitted. jpeg_set_defaults() and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1005 jpeg_set_colorspace() set this TRUE if JPEG color space RGB, CMYK,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1006 or YCCK is selected, otherwise FALSE. It is generally a bad idea
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1007 to set both write_JFIF_header and write_Adobe_marker. In fact,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1008 you probably shouldn't change the default settings at all --- the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1009 default behavior ensures that the JPEG file's color space can be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1010 recognized by the decoder.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1011
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1012 JQUANT_TBL * quant_tbl_ptrs[NUM_QUANT_TBLS]
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1013 Pointers to coefficient quantization tables, one per table slot,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1014 or NULL if no table is defined for a slot. Usually these should
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1015 be set via one of the above helper routines; jpeg_add_quant_table()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1016 is general enough to define any quantization table. The other
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1017 routines will set up table slot 0 for luminance quality and table
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1018 slot 1 for chrominance.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1019
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1020 int q_scale_factor[NUM_QUANT_TBLS]

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1022 for use with jpeg_default_qtables().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1023 See rdswitch.c and cjpeg.c for an example of usage.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1024 Note that the q_scale_factor[] fields are the "linear" scales, so you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1025 have to convert from user-defined ratings via jpeg_quality_scaling().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1026 Here is an example code which corresponds to cjpeg -quality 90,70:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1027
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1028 jpeg_set_defaults(cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1029
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1030 /* Set luminance quality 90. */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1031 cinfo->q_scale_factor[0] = jpeg_quality_scaling(90);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1032 /* Set chrominance quality 70. */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1033 cinfo->q_scale_factor[1] = jpeg_quality_scaling(70);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1034
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1035 jpeg_default_qtables(cinfo, force_baseline);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1036
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1037 CAUTION: You must also set 1x1 subsampling for efficient separate
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1038 color quality selection, since the default value used by library
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1039 is 2x2:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1040
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1041 cinfo->comp_info[0].v_samp_factor = 1;

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1045 JHUFF_TBL * ac_huff_tbl_ptrs[NUM_HUFF_TBLS]
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1046 Pointers to Huffman coding tables, one per table slot, or NULL if
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1047 no table is defined for a slot. Slots 0 and 1 are filled with the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1048 JPEG sample tables by jpeg_set_defaults(). If you need to allocate
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1049 more table structures, jpeg_alloc_huff_table() may be used.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1050 Note that optimal Huffman tables can be computed for an image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1051 by setting optimize_coding, as discussed above; there's seldom
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1052 any need to mess with providing your own Huffman tables.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1053
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1054
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1055 The actual dimensions of the JPEG image that will be written to the file are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1056 given by the following fields. These are computed from the input image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1057 dimensions and the compression parameters by jpeg_start_compress(). You can
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1058 also call jpeg_calc_jpeg_dimensions() to obtain the values that will result
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1059 from the current parameter settings. This can be useful if you are trying
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1060 to pick a scaling ratio that will get close to a desired target size.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1061

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1067 component number i. Note that components here refer to components of the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1068 JPEG color space, *not* the source image color space. A suitably large
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1069 comp_info[] array is allocated by jpeg_set_defaults(); if you choose not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1070 to use that routine, it's up to you to allocate the array.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1071
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1072 int component_id
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1073 The one-byte identifier code to be recorded in the JPEG file for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1074 this component. For the standard color spaces, we recommend you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1075 leave the default values alone.

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1078 int v_samp_factor
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1079 Horizontal and vertical sampling factors for the component; must
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1080 be 1..4 according to the JPEG standard. Note that larger sampling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1081 factors indicate a higher-resolution component; many people find
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1082 this behavior quite unintuitive. The default values are 2,2 for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1083 luminance components and 1,1 for chrominance components, except
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1084 for grayscale where 1,1 is used.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1085
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1086 int quant_tbl_no
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1087 Quantization table number for component. The default value is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1088 0 for luminance components and 1 for chrominance components.

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1096 Must equal the component's index in comp_info[]. (Beginning in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1097 release v6, the compressor library will fill this in automatically;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1098 you don't have to.)

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1101 Decompression parameter selection
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1102 ---------------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1103
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1104 Decompression parameter selection is somewhat simpler than compression
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1105 parameter selection, since all of the JPEG internal parameters are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1106 recorded in the source file and need not be supplied by the application.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1107 (Unless you are working with abbreviated files, in which case see
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1108 "Abbreviated datastreams", below.) Decompression parameters control
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1109 the postprocessing done on the image to deliver it in a format suitable
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1110 for the application's use. Many of the parameters control speed/quality
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1111 tradeoffs, in which faster decompression may be obtained at the price of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1112 a poorer-quality image. The defaults select the highest quality (slowest)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1113 processing.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1114
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1115 The following fields in the JPEG object are set by jpeg_read_header() and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1116 may be useful to the application in choosing decompression parameters:

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1131 The JPEG color space, unfortunately, is something of a guess since the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1132 standard proper does not provide a way to record it. In practice most files
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1133 adhere to the JFIF or Adobe conventions, and the decoder will recognize these
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1134 correctly. See "Special color spaces", below, for more info.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1135
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1136
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1137 The decompression parameters that determine the basic properties of the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1138 returned image are:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1139
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1140 J_COLOR_SPACE out_color_space
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1141 Output color space. jpeg_read_header() sets an appropriate default
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1142 based on jpeg_color_space; typically it will be RGB or grayscale.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1143 The application can change this field to request output in a different
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1144 colorspace. For example, set it to JCS_GRAYSCALE to get grayscale
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1145 output from a color file. (This is useful for previewing: grayscale
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1146 output is faster than full color since the color components need not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1147 be processed.) Note that not all possible color space transforms are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1148 currently implemented; you may need to extend jdcolor.c if you want an
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1149 unusual conversion.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1150
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1151 unsigned int scale_num, scale_denom
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1152 Scale the image by the fraction scale_num/scale_denom. Currently,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1153 the supported scaling ratios are M/N with all M from 1 to 16, where
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1154 N is the source DCT size, which is 8 for baseline JPEG. (The library
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1155 design allows for arbitrary scaling ratios but this is not likely
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1156 to be implemented any time soon.) The values are initialized by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1157 jpeg_read_header() with the source DCT size. For baseline JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1158 this is 8/8. If you change only the scale_num value while leaving
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1159 the other unchanged, then this specifies the DCT scaled size to be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1160 applied on the given input. For baseline JPEG this is equivalent
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1161 to M/8 scaling, since the source DCT size for baseline JPEG is 8.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1162 Smaller scaling ratios permit significantly faster decoding since
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1163 fewer pixels need be processed and a simpler IDCT method can be used.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1164
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1165 boolean quantize_colors
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1166 If set TRUE, colormapped output will be delivered. Default is FALSE,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1167 meaning that full-color output will be delivered.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1168
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1169 The next three parameters are relevant only if quantize_colors is TRUE.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1170
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1171 int desired_number_of_colors
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1172 Maximum number of colors to use in generating a library-supplied color
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1173 map (the actual number of colors is returned in a different field).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1174 Default 256. Ignored when the application supplies its own color map.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1175
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1176 boolean two_pass_quantize
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1177 If TRUE, an extra pass over the image is made to select a custom color
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1178 map for the image. This usually looks a lot better than the one-size-
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1179 fits-all colormap that is used otherwise. Default is TRUE. Ignored
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1180 when the application supplies its own color map.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1181
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1182 J_DITHER_MODE dither_mode
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1183 Selects color dithering method. Supported values are:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1184 JDITHER_NONE no dithering: fast, very low quality
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1185 JDITHER_ORDERED ordered dither: moderate speed and quality
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1186 JDITHER_FS Floyd-Steinberg dither: slow, high quality
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1187 Default is JDITHER_FS. (At present, ordered dither is implemented
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1188 only in the single-pass, standard-colormap case. If you ask for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1189 ordered dither when two_pass_quantize is TRUE or when you supply
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1190 an external color map, you'll get F-S dithering.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1191
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1192 When quantize_colors is TRUE, the target color map is described by the next
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1193 two fields. colormap is set to NULL by jpeg_read_header(). The application
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1194 can supply a color map by setting colormap non-NULL and setting
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1195 actual_number_of_colors to the map size. Otherwise, jpeg_start_decompress()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1196 selects a suitable color map and sets these two fields itself.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1197 [Implementation restriction: at present, an externally supplied colormap is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1198 only accepted for 3-component output color spaces.]
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1199
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1200 JSAMPARRAY colormap
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1201 The color map, represented as a 2-D pixel array of out_color_components
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1202 rows and actual_number_of_colors columns. Ignored if not quantizing.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1203 CAUTION: if the JPEG library creates its own colormap, the storage
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1204 pointed to by this field is released by jpeg_finish_decompress().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1205 Copy the colormap somewhere else first, if you want to save it.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1206
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1207 int actual_number_of_colors
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1208 The number of colors in the color map.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1209
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1210 Additional decompression parameters that the application may set include:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1211
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1212 J_DCT_METHOD dct_method
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1213 Selects the algorithm used for the DCT step. Choices are the same
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1214 as described above for compression.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1215
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1216 boolean do_fancy_upsampling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1217 If TRUE, use direct DCT scaling with DCT size > 8 for upsampling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1218 of chroma components.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1219 If FALSE, use only DCT size <= 8 and simple separate upsampling.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1220 Default is TRUE.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1221 For better image stability in multiple generation compression cycles
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1222 it is preferable that this value matches the corresponding
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1223 do_fancy_downsampling value in compression.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1224
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1225 boolean do_block_smoothing
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1226 If TRUE, interblock smoothing is applied in early stages of decoding
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1227 progressive JPEG files; if FALSE, not. Default is TRUE. Early
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1228 progression stages look "fuzzy" with smoothing, "blocky" without.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1229 In any case, block smoothing ceases to be applied after the first few
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1230 AC coefficients are known to full accuracy, so it is relevant only
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1231 when using buffered-image mode for progressive images.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1232
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1233 boolean enable_1pass_quant
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1234 boolean enable_external_quant
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1235 boolean enable_2pass_quant
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1236 These are significant only in buffered-image mode, which is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1237 described in its own section below.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1238
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1239
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1240 The output image dimensions are given by the following fields. These are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1241 computed from the source image dimensions and the decompression parameters
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1242 by jpeg_start_decompress(). You can also call jpeg_calc_output_dimensions()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1243 to obtain the values that will result from the current parameter settings.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1244 This can be useful if you are trying to pick a scaling ratio that will get
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1245 close to a desired target size. It's also important if you are using the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1246 JPEG library's memory manager to allocate output buffer space, because you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1247 are supposed to request such buffers *before* jpeg_start_decompress().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1248
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1249 JDIMENSION output_width Actual dimensions of output image.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1250 JDIMENSION output_height
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1251 int out_color_components Number of color components in out_color_space.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1252 int output_components Number of color components returned.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1253 int rec_outbuf_height Recommended height of scanline buffer.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1254
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1255 When quantizing colors, output_components is 1, indicating a single color map
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1256 index per pixel. Otherwise it equals out_color_components. The output arrays
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1257 are required to be output_width * output_components JSAMPLEs wide.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1258
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1259 rec_outbuf_height is the recommended minimum height (in scanlines) of the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1260 buffer passed to jpeg_read_scanlines(). If the buffer is smaller, the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1261 library will still work, but time will be wasted due to unnecessary data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1262 copying. In high-quality modes, rec_outbuf_height is always 1, but some
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1263 faster, lower-quality modes set it to larger values (typically 2 to 4).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1264 If you are going to ask for a high-speed processing mode, you may as well
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1265 go to the trouble of honoring rec_outbuf_height so as to avoid data copying.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1266 (An output buffer larger than rec_outbuf_height lines is OK, but won't
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1267 provide any material speed improvement over that height.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1268
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1269
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1270 Special color spaces
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1271 --------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1272
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1273 The JPEG standard itself is "color blind" and doesn't specify any particular
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1274 color space. It is customary to convert color data to a luminance/chrominance
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1275 color space before compressing, since this permits greater compression. The
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1276 existing JPEG file interchange format standards specify YCbCr or GRAYSCALE
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1277 data (JFIF version 1), GRAYSCALE, RGB, YCbCr, CMYK, or YCCK (Adobe), or BG_RGB
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1278 or BG_YCC (big gamut color spaces, JFIF version 2). For special applications
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1279 such as multispectral images, other color spaces can be used,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1280 but it must be understood that such files will be unportable.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1281
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1282 The JPEG library can handle the most common colorspace conversions (namely
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1283 RGB <=> YCbCr and CMYK <=> YCCK). It can also deal with data of an unknown
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1284 color space, passing it through without conversion. If you deal extensively
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1285 with an unusual color space, you can easily extend the library to understand
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1286 additional color spaces and perform appropriate conversions.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1287
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1288 For compression, the source data's color space is specified by field
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1289 in_color_space. This is transformed to the JPEG file's color space given
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1290 by jpeg_color_space. jpeg_set_defaults() chooses a reasonable JPEG color
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1291 space depending on in_color_space, but you can override this by calling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1292 jpeg_set_colorspace(). Of course you must select a supported transformation.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1293 jccolor.c currently supports the following transformations:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1294 RGB => YCbCr
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1295 RGB => GRAYSCALE
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1296 RGB => BG_YCC
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1297 YCbCr => GRAYSCALE
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1298 YCbCr => BG_YCC
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1299 CMYK => YCCK
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1300 plus the null transforms: GRAYSCALE => GRAYSCALE, RGB => RGB,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1301 BG_RGB => BG_RGB, YCbCr => YCbCr, BG_YCC => BG_YCC, CMYK => CMYK,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1302 YCCK => YCCK, and UNKNOWN => UNKNOWN.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1303
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1304 The file interchange format standards (JFIF and Adobe) specify APPn markers
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1305 that indicate the color space of the JPEG file. It is important to ensure
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1306 that these are written correctly, or omitted if the JPEG file's color space
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1307 is not one of the ones supported by the interchange standards.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1308 jpeg_set_colorspace() will set the compression parameters to include or omit
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1309 the APPn markers properly, so long as it is told the truth about the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1310 color space. For example, if you are writing some random 3-component color
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1311 space without conversion, don't try to fake out the library by setting
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1312 in_color_space and jpeg_color_space to JCS_YCbCr; use JCS_UNKNOWN.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1313 You may want to write an APPn marker of your own devising to identify
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1314 the colorspace --- see "Special markers", below.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1315
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1316 When told that the color space is UNKNOWN, the library will default to using
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1317 luminance-quality compression parameters for all color components. You may
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1318 well want to change these parameters. See the source code for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1319 jpeg_set_colorspace(), in jcparam.c, for details.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1320
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1321 For decompression, the JPEG file's color space is given in jpeg_color_space,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1322 and this is transformed to the output color space out_color_space.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1323 jpeg_read_header's setting of jpeg_color_space can be relied on if the file
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1324 conforms to JFIF or Adobe conventions, but otherwise it is no better than a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1325 guess. If you know the JPEG file's color space for certain, you can override
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1326 jpeg_read_header's guess by setting jpeg_color_space. jpeg_read_header also
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1327 selects a default output color space based on (its guess of) jpeg_color_space;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1328 set out_color_space to override this. Again, you must select a supported
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1329 transformation. jdcolor.c currently supports
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1330 YCbCr => RGB
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1331 YCbCr => GRAYSCALE
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1332 BG_YCC => RGB
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1333 BG_YCC => GRAYSCALE
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1334 RGB => GRAYSCALE
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1335 GRAYSCALE => RGB
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1336 YCCK => CMYK
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1337 as well as the null transforms. (Since GRAYSCALE=>RGB is provided, an
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1338 application can force grayscale JPEGs to look like color JPEGs if it only
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1339 wants to handle one case.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1340
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1341 The two-pass color quantizer, jquant2.c, is specialized to handle RGB data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1342 (it weights distances appropriately for RGB colors). You'll need to modify
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1343 the code if you want to use it for non-RGB output color spaces. Note that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1344 jquant2.c is used to map to an application-supplied colormap as well as for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1345 the normal two-pass colormap selection process.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1346
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1347 CAUTION: it appears that Adobe Photoshop writes inverted data in CMYK JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1348 files: 0 represents 100% ink coverage, rather than 0% ink as you'd expect.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1349 This is arguably a bug in Photoshop, but if you need to work with Photoshop
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1350 CMYK files, you will have to deal with it in your application. We cannot
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1351 "fix" this in the library by inverting the data during the CMYK<=>YCCK
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1352 transform, because that would break other applications, notably Ghostscript.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1353 Photoshop versions prior to 3.0 write EPS files containing JPEG-encoded CMYK
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1354 data in the same inverted-YCCK representation used in bare JPEG files, but
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1355 the surrounding PostScript code performs an inversion using the PS image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1356 operator. I am told that Photoshop 3.0 will write uninverted YCCK in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1357 EPS/JPEG files, and will omit the PS-level inversion. (But the data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1358 polarity used in bare JPEG files will not change in 3.0.) In either case,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1359 the JPEG library must not invert the data itself, or else Ghostscript would
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1360 read these EPS files incorrectly.

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1362
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1363 Error handling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1364 --------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1365
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1366 When the default error handler is used, any error detected inside the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1367 routines will cause a message to be printed on stderr, followed by exit().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1368 You can supply your own error handling routines to override this behavior
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1369 and to control the treatment of nonfatal warnings and trace/debug messages.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1370 The file example.c illustrates the most common case, which is to have the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1371 application regain control after an error rather than exiting.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1372
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1373 The JPEG library never writes any message directly; it always goes through
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1374 the error handling routines. Three classes of messages are recognized:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1375 * Fatal errors: the library cannot continue.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1376 * Warnings: the library can continue, but the data is corrupt, and a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1377 damaged output image is likely to result.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1378 * Trace/informational messages. These come with a trace level indicating
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1379 the importance of the message; you can control the verbosity of the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1380 program by adjusting the maximum trace level that will be displayed.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1381
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1382 You may, if you wish, simply replace the entire JPEG error handling module
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1383 (jerror.c) with your own code. However, you can avoid code duplication by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1384 only replacing some of the routines depending on the behavior you need.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1385 This is accomplished by calling jpeg_std_error() as usual, but then overriding
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1386 some of the method pointers in the jpeg_error_mgr struct, as illustrated by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1387 example.c.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1388
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1389 All of the error handling routines will receive a pointer to the JPEG object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1390 (a j_common_ptr which points to either a jpeg_compress_struct or a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1391 jpeg_decompress_struct; if you need to tell which, test the is_decompressor
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1392 field). This struct includes a pointer to the error manager struct in its
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1393 "err" field. Frequently, custom error handler routines will need to access
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1394 additional data which is not known to the JPEG library or the standard error
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1395 handler. The most convenient way to do this is to embed either the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1396 object or the jpeg_error_mgr struct in a larger structure that contains
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1397 additional fields; then casting the passed pointer provides access to the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1398 additional fields. Again, see example.c for one way to do it. (Beginning
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1399 with IJG version 6b, there is also a void pointer "client_data" in each
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1400 JPEG object, which the application can also use to find related data.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1401 The library does not touch client_data at all.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1402
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1403 The individual methods that you might wish to override are:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1404
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1405 error_exit (j_common_ptr cinfo)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1406 Receives control for a fatal error. Information sufficient to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1407 generate the error message has been stored in cinfo->err; call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1408 output_message to display it. Control must NOT return to the caller;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1409 generally this routine will exit() or longjmp() somewhere.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1410 Typically you would override this routine to get rid of the exit()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1411 default behavior. Note that if you continue processing, you should
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1412 clean up the JPEG object with jpeg_abort() or jpeg_destroy().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1413
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1414 output_message (j_common_ptr cinfo)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1415 Actual output of any JPEG message. Override this to send messages
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1416 somewhere other than stderr. Note that this method does not know
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1417 how to generate a message, only where to send it.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1418
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1419 format_message (j_common_ptr cinfo, char * buffer)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1420 Constructs a readable error message string based on the error info
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1421 stored in cinfo->err. This method is called by output_message. Few
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1422 applications should need to override this method. One possible
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1423 reason for doing so is to implement dynamic switching of error message
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1424 language.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1425
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1426 emit_message (j_common_ptr cinfo, int msg_level)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1427 Decide whether or not to emit a warning or trace message; if so,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1428 calls output_message. The main reason for overriding this method
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1429 would be to abort on warnings. msg_level is -1 for warnings,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1430 0 and up for trace messages.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1431
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1432 Only error_exit() and emit_message() are called from the rest of the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1433 library; the other two are internal to the error handler.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1434
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1435 The actual message texts are stored in an array of strings which is pointed to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1436 by the field err->jpeg_message_table. The messages are numbered from 0 to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1437 err->last_jpeg_message, and it is these code numbers that are used in the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1438 JPEG library code. You could replace the message texts (for instance, with
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1439 messages in French or German) by changing the message table pointer. See
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1440 jerror.h for the default texts. CAUTION: this table will almost certainly
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1441 change or grow from one library version to the next.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1442
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1443 It may be useful for an application to add its own message texts that are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1444 handled by the same mechanism. The error handler supports a second "add-on"
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1445 message table for this purpose. To define an addon table, set the pointer
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1446 err->addon_message_table and the message numbers err->first_addon_message and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1447 err->last_addon_message. If you number the addon messages beginning at 1000
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1448 or so, you won't have to worry about conflicts with the library's built-in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1449 messages. See the sample applications cjpeg/djpeg for an example of using
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1450 addon messages (the addon messages are defined in cderror.h).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1451
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1452 Actual invocation of the error handler is done via macros defined in jerror.h:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1453 ERREXITn(...) for fatal errors
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1454 WARNMSn(...) for corrupt-data warnings
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1455 TRACEMSn(...) for trace and informational messages.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1456 These macros store the message code and any additional parameters into the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1457 error handler struct, then invoke the error_exit() or emit_message() method.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1458 The variants of each macro are for varying numbers of additional parameters.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1459 The additional parameters are inserted into the generated message using
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1460 standard printf() format codes.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1461
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1462 See jerror.h and jerror.c for further details.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1463
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1464
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1465 Compressed data handling (source and destination managers)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1466 ----------------------------------------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1467
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1468 The JPEG compression library sends its compressed data to a "destination
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1469 manager" module. The default destination manager just writes the data to a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1470 memory buffer or to a stdio stream, but you can provide your own manager to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1471 do something else. Similarly, the decompression library calls a "source
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1472 manager" to obtain the compressed data; you can provide your own source
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1473 manager if you want the data to come from somewhere other than a memory
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1474 buffer or a stdio stream.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1475
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1476 In both cases, compressed data is processed a bufferload at a time: the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1477 destination or source manager provides a work buffer, and the library invokes
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1478 the manager only when the buffer is filled or emptied. (You could define a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1479 one-character buffer to force the manager to be invoked for each byte, but
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1480 that would be rather inefficient.) The buffer's size and location are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1481 controlled by the manager, not by the library. For example, the memory
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1482 source manager just makes the buffer pointer and length point to the original
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1483 data in memory. In this case the buffer-reload procedure will be invoked
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1484 only if the decompressor ran off the end of the datastream, which would
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1485 indicate an erroneous datastream.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1486
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1487 The work buffer is defined as an array of datatype JOCTET, which is generally
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1488 "char" or "unsigned char". On a machine where char is not exactly 8 bits
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1489 wide, you must define JOCTET as a wider data type and then modify the data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1490 source and destination modules to transcribe the work arrays into 8-bit units
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1491 on external storage.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1492
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1493 A data destination manager struct contains a pointer and count defining the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1494 next byte to write in the work buffer and the remaining free space:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1495
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1496 JOCTET * next_output_byte; /* => next byte to write in buffer */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1497 size_t free_in_buffer; /* # of byte spaces remaining in buffer */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1498
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1499 The library increments the pointer and decrements the count until the buffer
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1500 is filled. The manager's empty_output_buffer method must reset the pointer
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1501 and count. The manager is expected to remember the buffer's starting address
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1502 and total size in private fields not visible to the library.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1503
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1504 A data destination manager provides three methods:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1505
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1506 init_destination (j_compress_ptr cinfo)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1507 Initialize destination. This is called by jpeg_start_compress()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1508 before any data is actually written. It must initialize
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1509 next_output_byte and free_in_buffer. free_in_buffer must be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1510 initialized to a positive value.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1511
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1512 empty_output_buffer (j_compress_ptr cinfo)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1513 This is called whenever the buffer has filled (free_in_buffer
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1514 reaches zero). In typical applications, it should write out the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1515 *entire* buffer (use the saved start address and buffer length;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1516 ignore the current state of next_output_byte and free_in_buffer).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1517 Then reset the pointer & count to the start of the buffer, and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1518 return TRUE indicating that the buffer has been dumped.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1519 free_in_buffer must be set to a positive value when TRUE is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1520 returned. A FALSE return should only be used when I/O suspension is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1521 desired (this operating mode is discussed in the next section).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1522
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1523 term_destination (j_compress_ptr cinfo)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1524 Terminate destination --- called by jpeg_finish_compress() after all
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1525 data has been written. In most applications, this must flush any
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1526 data remaining in the buffer. Use either next_output_byte or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1527 free_in_buffer to determine how much data is in the buffer.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1528
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1529 term_destination() is NOT called by jpeg_abort() or jpeg_destroy(). If you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1530 want the destination manager to be cleaned up during an abort, you must do it
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1531 yourself.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1532
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1533 You will also need code to create a jpeg_destination_mgr struct, fill in its
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1534 method pointers, and insert a pointer to the struct into the "dest" field of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1535 the JPEG compression object. This can be done in-line in your setup code if
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1536 you like, but it's probably cleaner to provide a separate routine similar to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1537 the jpeg_stdio_dest() or jpeg_mem_dest() routines of the supplied destination
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1538 managers.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1539
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1540 Decompression source managers follow a parallel design, but with some
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1541 additional frammishes. The source manager struct contains a pointer and count
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1542 defining the next byte to read from the work buffer and the number of bytes
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1543 remaining:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1544
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1545 const JOCTET * next_input_byte; /* => next byte to read from buffer */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1546 size_t bytes_in_buffer; /* # of bytes remaining in buffer */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1547
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1548 The library increments the pointer and decrements the count until the buffer
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1549 is emptied. The manager's fill_input_buffer method must reset the pointer and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1550 count. In most applications, the manager must remember the buffer's starting
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1551 address and total size in private fields not visible to the library.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1552
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1553 A data source manager provides five methods:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1554
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1555 init_source (j_decompress_ptr cinfo)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1556 Initialize source. This is called by jpeg_read_header() before any
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1557 data is actually read. Unlike init_destination(), it may leave
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1558 bytes_in_buffer set to 0 (in which case a fill_input_buffer() call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1559 will occur immediately).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1560
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1561 fill_input_buffer (j_decompress_ptr cinfo)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1562 This is called whenever bytes_in_buffer has reached zero and more
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1563 data is wanted. In typical applications, it should read fresh data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1564 into the buffer (ignoring the current state of next_input_byte and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1565 bytes_in_buffer), reset the pointer & count to the start of the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1566 buffer, and return TRUE indicating that the buffer has been reloaded.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1567 It is not necessary to fill the buffer entirely, only to obtain at
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1568 least one more byte. bytes_in_buffer MUST be set to a positive value
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1569 if TRUE is returned. A FALSE return should only be used when I/O
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1570 suspension is desired (this mode is discussed in the next section).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1571
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1572 skip_input_data (j_decompress_ptr cinfo, long num_bytes)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1573 Skip num_bytes worth of data. The buffer pointer and count should
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1574 be advanced over num_bytes input bytes, refilling the buffer as
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1575 needed. This is used to skip over a potentially large amount of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1576 uninteresting data (such as an APPn marker). In some applications
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1577 it may be possible to optimize away the reading of the skipped data,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1578 but it's not clear that being smart is worth much trouble; large
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1579 skips are uncommon. bytes_in_buffer may be zero on return.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1580 A zero or negative skip count should be treated as a no-op.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1581
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1582 resync_to_restart (j_decompress_ptr cinfo, int desired)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1583 This routine is called only when the decompressor has failed to find
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1584 a restart (RSTn) marker where one is expected. Its mission is to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1585 find a suitable point for resuming decompression. For most
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1586 applications, we recommend that you just use the default resync
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1587 procedure, jpeg_resync_to_restart(). However, if you are able to back
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1588 up in the input data stream, or if you have a-priori knowledge about
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1589 the likely location of restart markers, you may be able to do better.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1590 Read the read_restart_marker() and jpeg_resync_to_restart() routines
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1591 in jdmarker.c if you think you'd like to implement your own resync
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1592 procedure.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1593
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1594 term_source (j_decompress_ptr cinfo)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1595 Terminate source --- called by jpeg_finish_decompress() after all
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1596 data has been read. Often a no-op.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1597
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1598 For both fill_input_buffer() and skip_input_data(), there is no such thing
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1599 as an EOF return. If the end of the file has been reached, the routine has
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1600 a choice of exiting via ERREXIT() or inserting fake data into the buffer.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1601 In most cases, generating a warning message and inserting a fake EOI marker
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1602 is the best course of action --- this will allow the decompressor to output
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1603 however much of the image is there. In pathological cases, the decompressor
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1604 may swallow the EOI and again demand data ... just keep feeding it fake EOIs.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1605 jdatasrc.c illustrates the recommended error recovery behavior.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1606
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1607 term_source() is NOT called by jpeg_abort() or jpeg_destroy(). If you want
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1608 the source manager to be cleaned up during an abort, you must do it yourself.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1609
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1610 You will also need code to create a jpeg_source_mgr struct, fill in its method
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1611 pointers, and insert a pointer to the struct into the "src" field of the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1612 decompression object. This can be done in-line in your setup code if you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1613 like, but it's probably cleaner to provide a separate routine similar to the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1614 jpeg_stdio_src() or jpeg_mem_src() routines of the supplied source managers.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1615

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1620 I/O suspension
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1621 --------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1622
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1623 Some applications need to use the JPEG library as an incremental memory-to-
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1624 memory filter: when the compressed data buffer is filled or emptied, they want
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1625 control to return to the outer loop, rather than expecting that the buffer can
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1626 be emptied or reloaded within the data source/destination manager subroutine.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1627 The library supports this need by providing an "I/O suspension" mode, which we
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1628 describe in this section.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1629
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1630 The I/O suspension mode is not a panacea: nothing is guaranteed about the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1631 maximum amount of time spent in any one call to the library, so it will not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1632 eliminate response-time problems in single-threaded applications. If you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1633 need guaranteed response time, we suggest you "bite the bullet" and implement
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1634 a real multi-tasking capability.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1635
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1636 To use I/O suspension, cooperation is needed between the calling application
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1637 and the data source or destination manager; you will always need a custom
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1638 source/destination manager. (Please read the previous section if you haven't
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1639 already.) The basic idea is that the empty_output_buffer() or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1640 fill_input_buffer() routine is a no-op, merely returning FALSE to indicate
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1641 that it has done nothing. Upon seeing this, the JPEG library suspends
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1642 operation and returns to its caller. The surrounding application is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1643 responsible for emptying or refilling the work buffer before calling the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1644 JPEG library again.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1645
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1646 Compression suspension:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1647
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1648 For compression suspension, use an empty_output_buffer() routine that returns
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1649 FALSE; typically it will not do anything else. This will cause the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1650 compressor to return to the caller of jpeg_write_scanlines(), with the return
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1651 value indicating that not all the supplied scanlines have been accepted.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1652 The application must make more room in the output buffer, adjust the output
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1653 buffer pointer/count appropriately, and then call jpeg_write_scanlines()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1654 again, pointing to the first unconsumed scanline.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1655
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1656 When forced to suspend, the compressor will backtrack to a convenient stopping
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1657 point (usually the start of the current MCU); it will regenerate some output
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1658 data when restarted. Therefore, although empty_output_buffer() is only
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1659 called when the buffer is filled, you should NOT write out the entire buffer
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1660 after a suspension. Write only the data up to the current position of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1661 next_output_byte/free_in_buffer. The data beyond that point will be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1662 regenerated after resumption.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1663
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1664 Because of the backtracking behavior, a good-size output buffer is essential
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1665 for efficiency; you don't want the compressor to suspend often. (In fact, an
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1666 overly small buffer could lead to infinite looping, if a single MCU required
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1667 more data than would fit in the buffer.) We recommend a buffer of at least
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1668 several Kbytes. You may want to insert explicit code to ensure that you don't
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1669 call jpeg_write_scanlines() unless there is a reasonable amount of space in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1670 the output buffer; in other words, flush the buffer before trying to compress
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1671 more data.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1672
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1673 The compressor does not allow suspension while it is trying to write JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1674 markers at the beginning and end of the file. This means that:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1675 * At the beginning of a compression operation, there must be enough free
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1676 space in the output buffer to hold the header markers (typically 600 or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1677 so bytes). The recommended buffer size is bigger than this anyway, so
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1678 this is not a problem as long as you start with an empty buffer. However,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1679 this restriction might catch you if you insert large special markers, such
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1680 as a JFIF thumbnail image, without flushing the buffer afterwards.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1681 * When you call jpeg_finish_compress(), there must be enough space in the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1682 output buffer to emit any buffered data and the final EOI marker. In the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1683 current implementation, half a dozen bytes should suffice for this, but
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1684 for safety's sake we recommend ensuring that at least 100 bytes are free
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1685 before calling jpeg_finish_compress().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1686
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1687 A more significant restriction is that jpeg_finish_compress() cannot suspend.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1688 This means you cannot use suspension with multi-pass operating modes, namely
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1689 Huffman code optimization and multiple-scan output. Those modes write the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1690 whole file during jpeg_finish_compress(), which will certainly result in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1691 buffer overrun. (Note that this restriction applies only to compression,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1692 not decompression. The decompressor supports input suspension in all of its
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1693 operating modes.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1694
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1695 Decompression suspension:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1696
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1697 For decompression suspension, use a fill_input_buffer() routine that simply
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1698 returns FALSE (except perhaps during error recovery, as discussed below).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1699 This will cause the decompressor to return to its caller with an indication
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1700 that suspension has occurred. This can happen at four places:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1701 * jpeg_read_header(): will return JPEG_SUSPENDED.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1702 * jpeg_start_decompress(): will return FALSE, rather than its usual TRUE.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1703 * jpeg_read_scanlines(): will return the number of scanlines already
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1704 completed (possibly 0).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1705 * jpeg_finish_decompress(): will return FALSE, rather than its usual TRUE.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1706 The surrounding application must recognize these cases, load more data into
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1707 the input buffer, and repeat the call. In the case of jpeg_read_scanlines(),
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1708 increment the passed pointers past any scanlines successfully read.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1709
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1710 Just as with compression, the decompressor will typically backtrack to a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1711 convenient restart point before suspending. When fill_input_buffer() is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1712 called, next_input_byte/bytes_in_buffer point to the current restart point,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1713 which is where the decompressor will backtrack to if FALSE is returned.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1714 The data beyond that position must NOT be discarded if you suspend; it needs
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1715 to be re-read upon resumption. In most implementations, you'll need to shift
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1716 this data down to the start of your work buffer and then load more data after
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1717 it. Again, this behavior means that a several-Kbyte work buffer is essential
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1718 for decent performance; furthermore, you should load a reasonable amount of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1719 new data before resuming decompression. (If you loaded, say, only one new
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1720 byte each time around, you could waste a LOT of cycles.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1721
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1722 The skip_input_data() source manager routine requires special care in a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1723 suspension scenario. This routine is NOT granted the ability to suspend the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1724 decompressor; it can decrement bytes_in_buffer to zero, but no more. If the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1725 requested skip distance exceeds the amount of data currently in the input
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1726 buffer, then skip_input_data() must set bytes_in_buffer to zero and record the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1727 additional skip distance somewhere else. The decompressor will immediately
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1728 call fill_input_buffer(), which should return FALSE, which will cause a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1729 suspension return. The surrounding application must then arrange to discard
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1730 the recorded number of bytes before it resumes loading the input buffer.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1731 (Yes, this design is rather baroque, but it avoids complexity in the far more
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1732 common case where a non-suspending source manager is used.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1733
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1734 If the input data has been exhausted, we recommend that you emit a warning
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1735 and insert dummy EOI markers just as a non-suspending data source manager
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1736 would do. This can be handled either in the surrounding application logic or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1737 within fill_input_buffer(); the latter is probably more efficient. If
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1738 fill_input_buffer() knows that no more data is available, it can set the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1739 pointer/count to point to a dummy EOI marker and then return TRUE just as
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1740 though it had read more data in a non-suspending situation.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1741
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1742 The decompressor does not attempt to suspend within standard JPEG markers;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1743 instead it will backtrack to the start of the marker and reprocess the whole
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1744 marker next time. Hence the input buffer must be large enough to hold the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1745 longest standard marker in the file. Standard JPEG markers should normally
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1746 not exceed a few hundred bytes each (DHT tables are typically the longest).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1747 We recommend at least a 2K buffer for performance reasons, which is much
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1748 larger than any correct marker is likely to be. For robustness against
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1749 damaged marker length counts, you may wish to insert a test in your
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1750 application for the case that the input buffer is completely full and yet
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1751 the decoder has suspended without consuming any data --- otherwise, if this
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1752 situation did occur, it would lead to an endless loop. (The library can't
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1753 provide this test since it has no idea whether "the buffer is full", or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1754 even whether there is a fixed-size input buffer.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1755
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1756 The input buffer would need to be 64K to allow for arbitrary COM or APPn
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1757 markers, but these are handled specially: they are either saved into allocated
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1758 memory, or skipped over by calling skip_input_data(). In the former case,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1759 suspension is handled correctly, and in the latter case, the problem of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1760 buffer overrun is placed on skip_input_data's shoulders, as explained above.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1761 Note that if you provide your own marker handling routine for large markers,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1762 you should consider how to deal with buffer overflow.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1763
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1764 Multiple-buffer management:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1765
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1766 In some applications it is desirable to store the compressed data in a linked
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1767 list of buffer areas, so as to avoid data copying. This can be handled by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1768 having empty_output_buffer() or fill_input_buffer() set the pointer and count
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1769 to reference the next available buffer; FALSE is returned only if no more
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1770 buffers are available. Although seemingly straightforward, there is a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1771 pitfall in this approach: the backtrack that occurs when FALSE is returned
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1772 could back up into an earlier buffer. For example, when fill_input_buffer()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1773 is called, the current pointer & count indicate the backtrack restart point.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1774 Since fill_input_buffer() will set the pointer and count to refer to a new
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1775 buffer, the restart position must be saved somewhere else. Suppose a second
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1776 call to fill_input_buffer() occurs in the same library call, and no
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1777 additional input data is available, so fill_input_buffer must return FALSE.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1778 If the JPEG library has not moved the pointer/count forward in the current
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1779 buffer, then *the correct restart point is the saved position in the prior
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1780 buffer*. Prior buffers may be discarded only after the library establishes
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1781 a restart point within a later buffer. Similar remarks apply for output into
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1782 a chain of buffers.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1783
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1784 The library will never attempt to backtrack over a skip_input_data() call,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1785 so any skipped data can be permanently discarded. You still have to deal
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1786 with the case of skipping not-yet-received data, however.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1787
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1788 It's much simpler to use only a single buffer; when fill_input_buffer() is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1789 called, move any unconsumed data (beyond the current pointer/count) down to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1790 the beginning of this buffer and then load new data into the remaining buffer
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1791 space. This approach requires a little more data copying but is far easier
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1792 to get right.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1793
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1794
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1795 Progressive JPEG support
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1796 ------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1797
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1798 Progressive JPEG rearranges the stored data into a series of scans of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1799 increasing quality. In situations where a JPEG file is transmitted across a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1800 slow communications link, a decoder can generate a low-quality image very
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1801 quickly from the first scan, then gradually improve the displayed quality as
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1802 more scans are received. The final image after all scans are complete is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1803 identical to that of a regular (sequential) JPEG file of the same quality
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1804 setting. Progressive JPEG files are often slightly smaller than equivalent
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1805 sequential JPEG files, but the possibility of incremental display is the main
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1806 reason for using progressive JPEG.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1807
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1808 The IJG encoder library generates progressive JPEG files when given a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1809 suitable "scan script" defining how to divide the data into scans.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1810 Creation of progressive JPEG files is otherwise transparent to the encoder.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1811 Progressive JPEG files can also be read transparently by the decoder library.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1812 If the decoding application simply uses the library as defined above, it
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1813 will receive a final decoded image without any indication that the file was
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1814 progressive. Of course, this approach does not allow incremental display.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1815 To perform incremental display, an application needs to use the decoder
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1816 library's "buffered-image" mode, in which it receives a decoded image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1817 multiple times.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1818
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1819 Each displayed scan requires about as much work to decode as a full JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1820 image of the same size, so the decoder must be fairly fast in relation to the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1821 data transmission rate in order to make incremental display useful. However,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1822 it is possible to skip displaying the image and simply add the incoming bits
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1823 to the decoder's coefficient buffer. This is fast because only Huffman
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1824 decoding need be done, not IDCT, upsampling, colorspace conversion, etc.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1825 The IJG decoder library allows the application to switch dynamically between
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1826 displaying the image and simply absorbing the incoming bits. A properly
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1827 coded application can automatically adapt the number of display passes to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1828 suit the time available as the image is received. Also, a final
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1829 higher-quality display cycle can be performed from the buffered data after
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1830 the end of the file is reached.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1831
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1832 Progressive compression:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1833
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1834 To create a progressive JPEG file (or a multiple-scan sequential JPEG file),
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1835 set the scan_info cinfo field to point to an array of scan descriptors, and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1836 perform compression as usual. Instead of constructing your own scan list,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1837 you can call the jpeg_simple_progression() helper routine to create a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1838 recommended progression sequence; this method should be used by all
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1839 applications that don't want to get involved in the nitty-gritty of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1840 progressive scan sequence design. (If you want to provide user control of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1841 scan sequences, you may wish to borrow the scan script reading code found
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1842 in rdswitch.c, so that you can read scan script files just like cjpeg's.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1843 When scan_info is not NULL, the compression library will store DCT'd data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1844 into a buffer array as jpeg_write_scanlines() is called, and will emit all
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1845 the requested scans during jpeg_finish_compress(). This implies that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1846 multiple-scan output cannot be created with a suspending data destination
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1847 manager, since jpeg_finish_compress() does not support suspension. We
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1848 should also note that the compressor currently forces Huffman optimization
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1849 mode when creating a progressive JPEG file, because the default Huffman
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1850 tables are unsuitable for progressive files.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1851
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1852 Progressive decompression:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1853
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1854 When buffered-image mode is not used, the decoder library will read all of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1855 a multi-scan file during jpeg_start_decompress(), so that it can provide a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1856 final decoded image. (Here "multi-scan" means either progressive or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1857 multi-scan sequential.) This makes multi-scan files transparent to the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1858 decoding application. However, existing applications that used suspending
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1859 input with version 5 of the IJG library will need to be modified to check
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1860 for a suspension return from jpeg_start_decompress().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1861
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1862 To perform incremental display, an application must use the library's
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1863 buffered-image mode. This is described in the next section.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1864
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1865
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1866 Buffered-image mode
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1867 -------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1868
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1869 In buffered-image mode, the library stores the partially decoded image in a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1870 coefficient buffer, from which it can be read out as many times as desired.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1871 This mode is typically used for incremental display of progressive JPEG files,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1872 but it can be used with any JPEG file. Each scan of a progressive JPEG file
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1873 adds more data (more detail) to the buffered image. The application can
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1874 display in lockstep with the source file (one display pass per input scan),
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1875 or it can allow input processing to outrun display processing. By making
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1876 input and display processing run independently, it is possible for the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1877 application to adapt progressive display to a wide range of data transmission
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1878 rates.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1879
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1880 The basic control flow for buffered-image decoding is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1881
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1882 jpeg_create_decompress()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1883 set data source
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1884 jpeg_read_header()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1885 set overall decompression parameters
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1886 cinfo.buffered_image = TRUE; /* select buffered-image mode */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1887 jpeg_start_decompress()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1888 for (each output pass) {
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1889 adjust output decompression parameters if required
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1890 jpeg_start_output() /* start a new output pass */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1891 for (all scanlines in image) {
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1892 jpeg_read_scanlines()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1893 display scanlines
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1894 }
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1895 jpeg_finish_output() /* terminate output pass */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1896 }
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1897 jpeg_finish_decompress()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1898 jpeg_destroy_decompress()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1899
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1900 This differs from ordinary unbuffered decoding in that there is an additional
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1901 level of looping. The application can choose how many output passes to make
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1902 and how to display each pass.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1903
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1904 The simplest approach to displaying progressive images is to do one display
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1905 pass for each scan appearing in the input file. In this case the outer loop
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1906 condition is typically
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1907 while (! jpeg_input_complete(&cinfo))
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1908 and the start-output call should read
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1909 jpeg_start_output(&cinfo, cinfo.input_scan_number);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1910 The second parameter to jpeg_start_output() indicates which scan of the input
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1911 file is to be displayed; the scans are numbered starting at 1 for this
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1912 purpose. (You can use a loop counter starting at 1 if you like, but using
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1913 the library's input scan counter is easier.) The library automatically reads
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1914 data as necessary to complete each requested scan, and jpeg_finish_output()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1915 advances to the next scan or end-of-image marker (hence input_scan_number
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1916 will be incremented by the time control arrives back at jpeg_start_output()).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1917 With this technique, data is read from the input file only as needed, and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1918 input and output processing run in lockstep.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1919
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1920 After reading the final scan and reaching the end of the input file, the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1921 buffered image remains available; it can be read additional times by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1922 repeating the jpeg_start_output()/jpeg_read_scanlines()/jpeg_finish_output()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1923 sequence. For example, a useful technique is to use fast one-pass color
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1924 quantization for display passes made while the image is arriving, followed by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1925 a final display pass using two-pass quantization for highest quality. This
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1926 is done by changing the library parameters before the final output pass.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1927 Changing parameters between passes is discussed in detail below.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1928
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1929 In general the last scan of a progressive file cannot be recognized as such
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1930 until after it is read, so a post-input display pass is the best approach if
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1931 you want special processing in the final pass.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1932
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1933 When done with the image, be sure to call jpeg_finish_decompress() to release
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1934 the buffered image (or just use jpeg_destroy_decompress()).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1935
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1936 If input data arrives faster than it can be displayed, the application can
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1937 cause the library to decode input data in advance of what's needed to produce
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1938 output. This is done by calling the routine jpeg_consume_input().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1939 The return value is one of the following:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1940 JPEG_REACHED_SOS: reached an SOS marker (the start of a new scan)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1941 JPEG_REACHED_EOI: reached the EOI marker (end of image)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1942 JPEG_ROW_COMPLETED: completed reading one MCU row of compressed data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1943 JPEG_SCAN_COMPLETED: completed reading last MCU row of current scan
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1944 JPEG_SUSPENDED: suspended before completing any of the above
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1945 (JPEG_SUSPENDED can occur only if a suspending data source is used.) This
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1946 routine can be called at any time after initializing the JPEG object. It
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1947 reads some additional data and returns when one of the indicated significant
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1948 events occurs. (If called after the EOI marker is reached, it will
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1949 immediately return JPEG_REACHED_EOI without attempting to read more data.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1950
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1951 The library's output processing will automatically call jpeg_consume_input()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1952 whenever the output processing overtakes the input; thus, simple lockstep
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1953 display requires no direct calls to jpeg_consume_input(). But by adding
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1954 calls to jpeg_consume_input(), you can absorb data in advance of what is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1955 being displayed. This has two benefits:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1956 * You can limit buildup of unprocessed data in your input buffer.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1957 * You can eliminate extra display passes by paying attention to the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1958 state of the library's input processing.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1959
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1960 The first of these benefits only requires interspersing calls to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1961 jpeg_consume_input() with your display operations and any other processing
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1962 you may be doing. To avoid wasting cycles due to backtracking, it's best to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1963 call jpeg_consume_input() only after a hundred or so new bytes have arrived.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1964 This is discussed further under "I/O suspension", above. (Note: the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1965 library currently is not thread-safe. You must not call jpeg_consume_input()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1966 from one thread of control if a different library routine is working on the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1967 same JPEG object in another thread.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1968
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1969 When input arrives fast enough that more than one new scan is available
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1970 before you start a new output pass, you may as well skip the output pass
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1971 corresponding to the completed scan. This occurs for free if you pass
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1972 cinfo.input_scan_number as the target scan number to jpeg_start_output().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1973 The input_scan_number field is simply the index of the scan currently being
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1974 consumed by the input processor. You can ensure that this is up-to-date by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1975 emptying the input buffer just before calling jpeg_start_output(): call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1976 jpeg_consume_input() repeatedly until it returns JPEG_SUSPENDED or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1977 JPEG_REACHED_EOI.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1978
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1979 The target scan number passed to jpeg_start_output() is saved in the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1980 cinfo.output_scan_number field. The library's output processing calls
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1981 jpeg_consume_input() whenever the current input scan number and row within
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1982 that scan is less than or equal to the current output scan number and row.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1983 Thus, input processing can "get ahead" of the output processing but is not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1984 allowed to "fall behind". You can achieve several different effects by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1985 manipulating this interlock rule. For example, if you pass a target scan
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1986 number greater than the current input scan number, the output processor will
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1987 wait until that scan starts to arrive before producing any output. (To avoid
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1988 an infinite loop, the target scan number is automatically reset to the last
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1989 scan number when the end of image is reached. Thus, if you specify a large
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1990 target scan number, the library will just absorb the entire input file and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1991 then perform an output pass. This is effectively the same as what
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1992 jpeg_start_decompress() does when you don't select buffered-image mode.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1993 When you pass a target scan number equal to the current input scan number,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1994 the image is displayed no faster than the current input scan arrives. The
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1995 final possibility is to pass a target scan number less than the current input
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1996 scan number; this disables the input/output interlock and causes the output
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1997 processor to simply display whatever it finds in the image buffer, without
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1998 waiting for input. (However, the library will not accept a target scan
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 1999 number less than one, so you can't avoid waiting for the first scan.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2000
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2001 When data is arriving faster than the output display processing can advance
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2002 through the image, jpeg_consume_input() will store data into the buffered
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2003 image beyond the point at which the output processing is reading data out
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2004 again. If the input arrives fast enough, it may "wrap around" the buffer to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2005 the point where the input is more than one whole scan ahead of the output.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2006 If the output processing simply proceeds through its display pass without
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2007 paying attention to the input, the effect seen on-screen is that the lower
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2008 part of the image is one or more scans better in quality than the upper part.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2009 Then, when the next output scan is started, you have a choice of what target
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2010 scan number to use. The recommended choice is to use the current input scan
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2011 number at that time, which implies that you've skipped the output scans
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2012 corresponding to the input scans that were completed while you processed the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2013 previous output scan. In this way, the decoder automatically adapts its
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2014 speed to the arriving data, by skipping output scans as necessary to keep up
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2015 with the arriving data.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2016
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2017 When using this strategy, you'll want to be sure that you perform a final
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2018 output pass after receiving all the data; otherwise your last display may not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2019 be full quality across the whole screen. So the right outer loop logic is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2020 something like this:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2021 do {
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2022 absorb any waiting input by calling jpeg_consume_input()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2023 final_pass = jpeg_input_complete(&cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2024 adjust output decompression parameters if required
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2025 jpeg_start_output(&cinfo, cinfo.input_scan_number);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2026 ...
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2027 jpeg_finish_output()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2028 } while (! final_pass);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2029 rather than quitting as soon as jpeg_input_complete() returns TRUE. This
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2030 arrangement makes it simple to use higher-quality decoding parameters
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2031 for the final pass. But if you don't want to use special parameters for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2032 the final pass, the right loop logic is like this:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2033 for (;;) {
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2034 absorb any waiting input by calling jpeg_consume_input()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2035 jpeg_start_output(&cinfo, cinfo.input_scan_number);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2036 ...
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2037 jpeg_finish_output()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2038 if (jpeg_input_complete(&cinfo) &&
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2039 cinfo.input_scan_number == cinfo.output_scan_number)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2040 break;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2041 }
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2042 In this case you don't need to know in advance whether an output pass is to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2043 be the last one, so it's not necessary to have reached EOF before starting
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2044 the final output pass; rather, what you want to test is whether the output
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2045 pass was performed in sync with the final input scan. This form of the loop
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2046 will avoid an extra output pass whenever the decoder is able (or nearly able)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2047 to keep up with the incoming data.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2048
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2049 When the data transmission speed is high, you might begin a display pass,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2050 then find that much or all of the file has arrived before you can complete
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2051 the pass. (You can detect this by noting the JPEG_REACHED_EOI return code
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2052 from jpeg_consume_input(), or equivalently by testing jpeg_input_complete().)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2053 In this situation you may wish to abort the current display pass and start a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2054 new one using the newly arrived information. To do so, just call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2055 jpeg_finish_output() and then start a new pass with jpeg_start_output().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2056
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2057 A variant strategy is to abort and restart display if more than one complete
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2058 scan arrives during an output pass; this can be detected by noting
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2059 JPEG_REACHED_SOS returns and/or examining cinfo.input_scan_number. This
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2060 idea should be employed with caution, however, since the display process
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2061 might never get to the bottom of the image before being aborted, resulting
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2062 in the lower part of the screen being several passes worse than the upper.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2063 In most cases it's probably best to abort an output pass only if the whole
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2064 file has arrived and you want to begin the final output pass immediately.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2065
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2066 When receiving data across a communication link, we recommend always using
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2067 the current input scan number for the output target scan number; if a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2068 higher-quality final pass is to be done, it should be started (aborting any
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2069 incomplete output pass) as soon as the end of file is received. However,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2070 many other strategies are possible. For example, the application can examine
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2071 the parameters of the current input scan and decide whether to display it or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2072 not. If the scan contains only chroma data, one might choose not to use it
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2073 as the target scan, expecting that the scan will be small and will arrive
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2074 quickly. To skip to the next scan, call jpeg_consume_input() until it
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2075 returns JPEG_REACHED_SOS or JPEG_REACHED_EOI. Or just use the next higher
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2076 number as the target scan for jpeg_start_output(); but that method doesn't
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2077 let you inspect the next scan's parameters before deciding to display it.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2078
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2079
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2080 In buffered-image mode, jpeg_start_decompress() never performs input and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2081 thus never suspends. An application that uses input suspension with
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2082 buffered-image mode must be prepared for suspension returns from these
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2083 routines:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2084 * jpeg_start_output() performs input only if you request 2-pass quantization
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2085 and the target scan isn't fully read yet. (This is discussed below.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2086 * jpeg_read_scanlines(), as always, returns the number of scanlines that it
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2087 was able to produce before suspending.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2088 * jpeg_finish_output() will read any markers following the target scan,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2089 up to the end of the file or the SOS marker that begins another scan.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2090 (But it reads no input if jpeg_consume_input() has already reached the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2091 end of the file or a SOS marker beyond the target output scan.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2092 * jpeg_finish_decompress() will read until the end of file, and thus can
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2093 suspend if the end hasn't already been reached (as can be tested by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2094 calling jpeg_input_complete()).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2095 jpeg_start_output(), jpeg_finish_output(), and jpeg_finish_decompress()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2096 all return TRUE if they completed their tasks, FALSE if they had to suspend.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2097 In the event of a FALSE return, the application must load more input data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2098 and repeat the call. Applications that use non-suspending data sources need
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2099 not check the return values of these three routines.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2100
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2101
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2102 It is possible to change decoding parameters between output passes in the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2103 buffered-image mode. The decoder library currently supports only very
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2104 limited changes of parameters. ONLY THE FOLLOWING parameter changes are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2105 allowed after jpeg_start_decompress() is called:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2106 * dct_method can be changed before each call to jpeg_start_output().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2107 For example, one could use a fast DCT method for early scans, changing
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2108 to a higher quality method for the final scan.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2109 * dither_mode can be changed before each call to jpeg_start_output();
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2110 of course this has no impact if not using color quantization. Typically
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2111 one would use ordered dither for initial passes, then switch to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2112 Floyd-Steinberg dither for the final pass. Caution: changing dither mode
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2113 can cause more memory to be allocated by the library. Although the amount
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2114 of memory involved is not large (a scanline or so), it may cause the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2115 initial max_memory_to_use specification to be exceeded, which in the worst
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2116 case would result in an out-of-memory failure.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2117 * do_block_smoothing can be changed before each call to jpeg_start_output().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2118 This setting is relevant only when decoding a progressive JPEG image.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2119 During the first DC-only scan, block smoothing provides a very "fuzzy" look
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2120 instead of the very "blocky" look seen without it; which is better seems a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2121 matter of personal taste. But block smoothing is nearly always a win
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2122 during later stages, especially when decoding a successive-approximation
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2123 image: smoothing helps to hide the slight blockiness that otherwise shows
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2124 up on smooth gradients until the lowest coefficient bits are sent.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2125 * Color quantization mode can be changed under the rules described below.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2126 You *cannot* change between full-color and quantized output (because that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2127 would alter the required I/O buffer sizes), but you can change which
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2128 quantization method is used.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2129
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2130 When generating color-quantized output, changing quantization method is a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2131 very useful way of switching between high-speed and high-quality display.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2132 The library allows you to change among its three quantization methods:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2133 1. Single-pass quantization to a fixed color cube.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2134 Selected by cinfo.two_pass_quantize = FALSE and cinfo.colormap = NULL.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2135 2. Single-pass quantization to an application-supplied colormap.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2136 Selected by setting cinfo.colormap to point to the colormap (the value of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2137 two_pass_quantize is ignored); also set cinfo.actual_number_of_colors.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2138 3. Two-pass quantization to a colormap chosen specifically for the image.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2139 Selected by cinfo.two_pass_quantize = TRUE and cinfo.colormap = NULL.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2140 (This is the default setting selected by jpeg_read_header, but it is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2141 probably NOT what you want for the first pass of progressive display!)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2142 These methods offer successively better quality and lesser speed. However,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2143 only the first method is available for quantizing in non-RGB color spaces.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2144
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2145 IMPORTANT: because the different quantizer methods have very different
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2146 working-storage requirements, the library requires you to indicate which
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2147 one(s) you intend to use before you call jpeg_start_decompress(). (If we did
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2148 not require this, the max_memory_to_use setting would be a complete fiction.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2149 You do this by setting one or more of these three cinfo fields to TRUE:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2150 enable_1pass_quant Fixed color cube colormap
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2151 enable_external_quant Externally-supplied colormap
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2152 enable_2pass_quant Two-pass custom colormap
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2153 All three are initialized FALSE by jpeg_read_header(). But
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2154 jpeg_start_decompress() automatically sets TRUE the one selected by the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2155 current two_pass_quantize and colormap settings, so you only need to set the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2156 enable flags for any other quantization methods you plan to change to later.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2157
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2158 After setting the enable flags correctly at jpeg_start_decompress() time, you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2159 can change to any enabled quantization method by setting two_pass_quantize
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2160 and colormap properly just before calling jpeg_start_output(). The following
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2161 special rules apply:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2162 1. You must explicitly set cinfo.colormap to NULL when switching to 1-pass
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2163 or 2-pass mode from a different mode, or when you want the 2-pass
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2164 quantizer to be re-run to generate a new colormap.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2165 2. To switch to an external colormap, or to change to a different external
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2166 colormap than was used on the prior pass, you must call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2167 jpeg_new_colormap() after setting cinfo.colormap.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2168 NOTE: if you want to use the same colormap as was used in the prior pass,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2169 you should not do either of these things. This will save some nontrivial
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2170 switchover costs.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2171 (These requirements exist because cinfo.colormap will always be non-NULL
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2172 after completing a prior output pass, since both the 1-pass and 2-pass
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2173 quantizers set it to point to their output colormaps. Thus you have to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2174 do one of these two things to notify the library that something has changed.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2175 Yup, it's a bit klugy, but it's necessary to do it this way for backwards
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2176 compatibility.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2177
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2178 Note that in buffered-image mode, the library generates any requested colormap
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2179 during jpeg_start_output(), not during jpeg_start_decompress().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2180
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2181 When using two-pass quantization, jpeg_start_output() makes a pass over the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2182 buffered image to determine the optimum color map; it therefore may take a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2183 significant amount of time, whereas ordinarily it does little work. The
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2184 progress monitor hook is called during this pass, if defined. It is also
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2185 important to realize that if the specified target scan number is greater than
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2186 or equal to the current input scan number, jpeg_start_output() will attempt
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2187 to consume input as it makes this pass. If you use a suspending data source,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2188 you need to check for a FALSE return from jpeg_start_output() under these
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2189 conditions. The combination of 2-pass quantization and a not-yet-fully-read
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2190 target scan is the only case in which jpeg_start_output() will consume input.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2191
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2192
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2193 Application authors who support buffered-image mode may be tempted to use it
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2194 for all JPEG images, even single-scan ones. This will work, but it is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2195 inefficient: there is no need to create an image-sized coefficient buffer for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2196 single-scan images. Requesting buffered-image mode for such an image wastes
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2197 memory. Worse, it can cost time on large images, since the buffered data has
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2198 to be swapped out or written to a temporary file. If you are concerned about
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2199 maximum performance on baseline JPEG files, you should use buffered-image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2200 mode only when the incoming file actually has multiple scans. This can be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2201 tested by calling jpeg_has_multiple_scans(), which will return a correct
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2202 result at any time after jpeg_read_header() completes.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2203
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2204 It is also worth noting that when you use jpeg_consume_input() to let input
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2205 processing get ahead of output processing, the resulting pattern of access to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2206 the coefficient buffer is quite nonsequential. It's best to use the memory
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2207 manager jmemnobs.c if you can (ie, if you have enough real or virtual main
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2208 memory). If not, at least make sure that max_memory_to_use is set as high as
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2209 possible. If the JPEG memory manager has to use a temporary file, you will
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2210 probably see a lot of disk traffic and poor performance. (This could be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2211 improved with additional work on the memory manager, but we haven't gotten
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2212 around to it yet.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2213
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2214 In some applications it may be convenient to use jpeg_consume_input() for all
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2215 input processing, including reading the initial markers; that is, you may
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2216 wish to call jpeg_consume_input() instead of jpeg_read_header() during
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2217 startup. This works, but note that you must check for JPEG_REACHED_SOS and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2218 JPEG_REACHED_EOI return codes as the equivalent of jpeg_read_header's codes.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2219 Once the first SOS marker has been reached, you must call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2220 jpeg_start_decompress() before jpeg_consume_input() will consume more input;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2221 it'll just keep returning JPEG_REACHED_SOS until you do. If you read a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2222 tables-only file this way, jpeg_consume_input() will return JPEG_REACHED_EOI
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2223 without ever returning JPEG_REACHED_SOS; be sure to check for this case.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2224 If this happens, the decompressor will not read any more input until you call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2225 jpeg_abort() to reset it. It is OK to call jpeg_consume_input() even when not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2226 using buffered-image mode, but in that case it's basically a no-op after the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2227 initial markers have been read: it will just return JPEG_SUSPENDED.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2228
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2229
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2230 Abbreviated datastreams and multiple images
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2231 -------------------------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2232
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2233 A JPEG compression or decompression object can be reused to process multiple
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2234 images. This saves a small amount of time per image by eliminating the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2235 "create" and "destroy" operations, but that isn't the real purpose of the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2236 feature. Rather, reuse of an object provides support for abbreviated JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2237 datastreams. Object reuse can also simplify processing a series of images in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2238 a single input or output file. This section explains these features.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2239
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2240 A JPEG file normally contains several hundred bytes worth of quantization
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2241 and Huffman tables. In a situation where many images will be stored or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2242 transmitted with identical tables, this may represent an annoying overhead.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2243 The JPEG standard therefore permits tables to be omitted. The standard
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2244 defines three classes of JPEG datastreams:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2245 * "Interchange" datastreams contain an image and all tables needed to decode
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2246 the image. These are the usual kind of JPEG file.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2247 * "Abbreviated image" datastreams contain an image, but are missing some or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2248 all of the tables needed to decode that image.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2249 * "Abbreviated table specification" (henceforth "tables-only") datastreams
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2250 contain only table specifications.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2251 To decode an abbreviated image, it is necessary to load the missing table(s)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2252 into the decoder beforehand. This can be accomplished by reading a separate
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2253 tables-only file. A variant scheme uses a series of images in which the first
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2254 image is an interchange (complete) datastream, while subsequent ones are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2255 abbreviated and rely on the tables loaded by the first image. It is assumed
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2256 that once the decoder has read a table, it will remember that table until a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2257 new definition for the same table number is encountered.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2258
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2259 It is the application designer's responsibility to figure out how to associate
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2260 the correct tables with an abbreviated image. While abbreviated datastreams
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2261 can be useful in a closed environment, their use is strongly discouraged in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2262 any situation where data exchange with other applications might be needed.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2263 Caveat designer.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2264
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2265 The JPEG library provides support for reading and writing any combination of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2266 tables-only datastreams and abbreviated images. In both compression and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2267 decompression objects, a quantization or Huffman table will be retained for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2268 the lifetime of the object, unless it is overwritten by a new table definition.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2269
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2270
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2271 To create abbreviated image datastreams, it is only necessary to tell the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2272 compressor not to emit some or all of the tables it is using. Each
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2273 quantization and Huffman table struct contains a boolean field "sent_table",
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2274 which normally is initialized to FALSE. For each table used by the image, the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2275 header-writing process emits the table and sets sent_table = TRUE unless it is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2276 already TRUE. (In normal usage, this prevents outputting the same table
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2277 definition multiple times, as would otherwise occur because the chroma
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2278 components typically share tables.) Thus, setting this field to TRUE before
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2279 calling jpeg_start_compress() will prevent the table from being written at
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2280 all.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2281
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2282 If you want to create a "pure" abbreviated image file containing no tables,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2283 just call "jpeg_suppress_tables(&cinfo, TRUE)" after constructing all the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2284 tables. If you want to emit some but not all tables, you'll need to set the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2285 individual sent_table fields directly.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2286
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2287 To create an abbreviated image, you must also call jpeg_start_compress()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2288 with a second parameter of FALSE, not TRUE. Otherwise jpeg_start_compress()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2289 will force all the sent_table fields to FALSE. (This is a safety feature to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2290 prevent abbreviated images from being created accidentally.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2291
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2292 To create a tables-only file, perform the same parameter setup that you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2293 normally would, but instead of calling jpeg_start_compress() and so on, call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2294 jpeg_write_tables(&cinfo). This will write an abbreviated datastream
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2295 containing only SOI, DQT and/or DHT markers, and EOI. All the quantization
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2296 and Huffman tables that are currently defined in the compression object will
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2297 be emitted unless their sent_tables flag is already TRUE, and then all the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2298 sent_tables flags will be set TRUE.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2299
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2300 A sure-fire way to create matching tables-only and abbreviated image files
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2301 is to proceed as follows:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2302
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2303 create JPEG compression object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2304 set JPEG parameters
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2305 set destination to tables-only file
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2306 jpeg_write_tables(&cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2307 set destination to image file
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2308 jpeg_start_compress(&cinfo, FALSE);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2309 write data...
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2310 jpeg_finish_compress(&cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2311
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2312 Since the JPEG parameters are not altered between writing the table file and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2313 the abbreviated image file, the same tables are sure to be used. Of course,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2314 you can repeat the jpeg_start_compress() ... jpeg_finish_compress() sequence
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2315 many times to produce many abbreviated image files matching the table file.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2316
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2317 You cannot suppress output of the computed Huffman tables when Huffman
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2318 optimization is selected. (If you could, there'd be no way to decode the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2319 image...) Generally, you don't want to set optimize_coding = TRUE when
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2320 you are trying to produce abbreviated files.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2321
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2322 In some cases you might want to compress an image using tables which are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2323 not stored in the application, but are defined in an interchange or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2324 tables-only file readable by the application. This can be done by setting up
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2325 a JPEG decompression object to read the specification file, then copying the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2326 tables into your compression object. See jpeg_copy_critical_parameters()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2327 for an example of copying quantization tables.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2328
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2329
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2330 To read abbreviated image files, you simply need to load the proper tables
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2331 into the decompression object before trying to read the abbreviated image.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2332 If the proper tables are stored in the application program, you can just
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2333 allocate the table structs and fill in their contents directly. For example,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2334 to load a fixed quantization table into table slot "n":
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2335
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2336 if (cinfo.quant_tbl_ptrs[n] == NULL)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2337 cinfo.quant_tbl_ptrs[n] = jpeg_alloc_quant_table((j_common_ptr) &cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2338 quant_ptr = cinfo.quant_tbl_ptrs[n]; /* quant_ptr is JQUANT_TBL* */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2339 for (i = 0; i < 64; i++) {
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2340 /* Qtable[] is desired quantization table, in natural array order */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2341 quant_ptr->quantval[i] = Qtable[i];
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2342 }
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2343
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2344 Code to load a fixed Huffman table is typically (for AC table "n"):
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2345
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2346 if (cinfo.ac_huff_tbl_ptrs[n] == NULL)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2347 cinfo.ac_huff_tbl_ptrs[n] = jpeg_alloc_huff_table((j_common_ptr) &cinfo);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2348 huff_ptr = cinfo.ac_huff_tbl_ptrs[n]; /* huff_ptr is JHUFF_TBL* */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2349 for (i = 1; i <= 16; i++) {
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2350 /* counts[i] is number of Huffman codes of length i bits, i=1..16 */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2351 huff_ptr->bits[i] = counts[i];
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2352 }
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2353 for (i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2354 /* symbols[] is the list of Huffman symbols, in code-length order */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2355 huff_ptr->huffval[i] = symbols[i];
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2356 }
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2357
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2358 (Note that trying to set cinfo.quant_tbl_ptrs[n] to point directly at a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2359 constant JQUANT_TBL object is not safe. If the incoming file happened to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2360 contain a quantization table definition, your master table would get
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2361 overwritten! Instead allocate a working table copy and copy the master table
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2362 into it, as illustrated above. Ditto for Huffman tables, of course.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2363
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2364 You might want to read the tables from a tables-only file, rather than
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2365 hard-wiring them into your application. The jpeg_read_header() call is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2366 sufficient to read a tables-only file. You must pass a second parameter of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2367 FALSE to indicate that you do not require an image to be present. Thus, the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2368 typical scenario is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2369
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2370 create JPEG decompression object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2371 set source to tables-only file

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2379
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2380 In some cases, you may want to read a file without knowing whether it contains
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2381 an image or just tables. In that case, pass FALSE and check the return value
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2382 from jpeg_read_header(): it will be JPEG_HEADER_OK if an image was found,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2383 JPEG_HEADER_TABLES_ONLY if only tables were found. (A third return value,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2384 JPEG_SUSPENDED, is possible when using a suspending data source manager.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2385 Note that jpeg_read_header() will not complain if you read an abbreviated
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2386 image for which you haven't loaded the missing tables; the missing-table check
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2387 occurs later, in jpeg_start_decompress().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2388
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2389
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2390 It is possible to read a series of images from a single source file by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2391 repeating the jpeg_read_header() ... jpeg_finish_decompress() sequence,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2392 without releasing/recreating the JPEG object or the data source module.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2393 (If you did reinitialize, any partial bufferload left in the data source
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2394 buffer at the end of one image would be discarded, causing you to lose the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2395 start of the next image.) When you use this method, stored tables are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2396 automatically carried forward, so some of the images can be abbreviated images
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2397 that depend on tables from earlier images.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2398
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2399 If you intend to write a series of images into a single destination file,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2400 you might want to make a specialized data destination module that doesn't
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2401 flush the output buffer at term_destination() time. This would speed things
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2402 up by some trifling amount. Of course, you'd need to remember to flush the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2403 buffer after the last image. You can make the later images be abbreviated
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2404 ones by passing FALSE to jpeg_start_compress().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2405
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2406
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2407 Special markers
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2408 ---------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2409
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2410 Some applications may need to insert or extract special data in the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2411 datastream. The JPEG standard provides marker types "COM" (comment) and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2412 "APP0" through "APP15" (application) to hold application-specific data.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2413 Unfortunately, the use of these markers is not specified by the standard.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2414 COM markers are fairly widely used to hold user-supplied text. The JFIF file
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2415 format spec uses APP0 markers with specified initial strings to hold certain
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2416 data. Adobe applications use APP14 markers beginning with the string "Adobe"
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2417 for miscellaneous data. Other APPn markers are rarely seen, but might
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2418 contain almost anything.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2419
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2420 If you wish to store user-supplied text, we recommend you use COM markers
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2421 and place readable 7-bit ASCII text in them. Newline conventions are not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2422 standardized --- expect to find LF (Unix style), CR/LF (DOS style), or CR
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2423 (Mac style). A robust COM reader should be able to cope with random binary
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2424 garbage, including nulls, since some applications generate COM markers
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2425 containing non-ASCII junk. (But yours should not be one of them.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2426
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2427 For program-supplied data, use an APPn marker, and be sure to begin it with an
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2428 identifying string so that you can tell whether the marker is actually yours.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2429 It's probably best to avoid using APP0 or APP14 for any private markers.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2430 (NOTE: the upcoming SPIFF standard will use APP8 markers; we recommend you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2431 not use APP8 markers for any private purposes, either.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2432
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2433 Keep in mind that at most 65533 bytes can be put into one marker, but you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2434 can have as many markers as you like.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2435
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2436 By default, the IJG compression library will write a JFIF APP0 marker if the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2437 selected JPEG colorspace is grayscale or YCbCr, or an Adobe APP14 marker if
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2438 the selected colorspace is RGB, CMYK, or YCCK. You can disable this, but
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2439 we don't recommend it. The decompression library will recognize JFIF and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2440 Adobe markers and will set the JPEG colorspace properly when one is found.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2441
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2442
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2443 You can write special markers immediately following the datastream header by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2444 calling jpeg_write_marker() after jpeg_start_compress() and before the first
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2445 call to jpeg_write_scanlines(). When you do this, the markers appear after
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2446 the SOI and the JFIF APP0 and Adobe APP14 markers (if written), but before
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2447 all else. Specify the marker type parameter as "JPEG_COM" for COM or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2448 "JPEG_APP0 + n" for APPn. (Actually, jpeg_write_marker will let you write
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2449 any marker type, but we don't recommend writing any other kinds of marker.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2450 For example, to write a user comment string pointed to by comment_text:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2451 jpeg_write_marker(cinfo, JPEG_COM, comment_text, strlen(comment_text));
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2452
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2453 If it's not convenient to store all the marker data in memory at once,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2454 you can instead call jpeg_write_m_header() followed by multiple calls to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2455 jpeg_write_m_byte(). If you do it this way, it's your responsibility to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2456 call jpeg_write_m_byte() exactly the number of times given in the length
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2457 parameter to jpeg_write_m_header(). (This method lets you empty the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2458 output buffer partway through a marker, which might be important when
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2459 using a suspending data destination module. In any case, if you are using
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2460 a suspending destination, you should flush its buffer after inserting
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2461 any special markers. See "I/O suspension".)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2462
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2463 Or, if you prefer to synthesize the marker byte sequence yourself,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2464 you can just cram it straight into the data destination module.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2465
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2466 If you are writing JFIF 1.02 extension markers (thumbnail images), don't
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2467 forget to set cinfo.JFIF_minor_version = 2 so that the encoder will write the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2468 correct JFIF version number in the JFIF header marker. The library's default
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2469 is to write version 1.01, but that's wrong if you insert any 1.02 extension
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2470 markers. (We could probably get away with just defaulting to 1.02, but there
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2471 used to be broken decoders that would complain about unknown minor version
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2472 numbers. To reduce compatibility risks it's safest not to write 1.02 unless
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2473 you are actually using 1.02 extensions.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2474
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2475
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2476 When reading, two methods of handling special markers are available:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2477 1. You can ask the library to save the contents of COM and/or APPn markers
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2478 into memory, and then examine them at your leisure afterwards.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2479 2. You can supply your own routine to process COM and/or APPn markers
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2480 on-the-fly as they are read.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2481 The first method is simpler to use, especially if you are using a suspending
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2482 data source; writing a marker processor that copes with input suspension is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2483 not easy (consider what happens if the marker is longer than your available
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2484 input buffer). However, the second method conserves memory since the marker
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2485 data need not be kept around after it's been processed.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2486
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2487 For either method, you'd normally set up marker handling after creating a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2488 decompression object and before calling jpeg_read_header(), because the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2489 markers of interest will typically be near the head of the file and so will
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2490 be scanned by jpeg_read_header. Once you've established a marker handling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2491 method, it will be used for the life of that decompression object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2492 (potentially many datastreams), unless you change it. Marker handling is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2493 determined separately for COM markers and for each APPn marker code.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2494
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2495
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2496 To save the contents of special markers in memory, call
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2497 jpeg_save_markers(cinfo, marker_code, length_limit)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2498 where marker_code is the marker type to save, JPEG_COM or JPEG_APP0+n.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2499 (To arrange to save all the special marker types, you need to call this
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2500 routine 17 times, for COM and APP0-APP15.) If the incoming marker is longer
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2501 than length_limit data bytes, only length_limit bytes will be saved; this
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2502 parameter allows you to avoid chewing up memory when you only need to see the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2503 first few bytes of a potentially large marker. If you want to save all the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2504 data, set length_limit to 0xFFFF; that is enough since marker lengths are only
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2505 16 bits. As a special case, setting length_limit to 0 prevents that marker
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2506 type from being saved at all. (That is the default behavior, in fact.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2507
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2508 After jpeg_read_header() completes, you can examine the special markers by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2509 following the cinfo->marker_list pointer chain. All the special markers in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2510 the file appear in this list, in order of their occurrence in the file (but
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2511 omitting any markers of types you didn't ask for). Both the original data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2512 length and the saved data length are recorded for each list entry; the latter
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2513 will not exceed length_limit for the particular marker type. Note that these
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2514 lengths exclude the marker length word, whereas the stored representation
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2515 within the JPEG file includes it. (Hence the maximum data length is really
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2516 only 65533.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2517
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2518 It is possible that additional special markers appear in the file beyond the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2519 SOS marker at which jpeg_read_header stops; if so, the marker list will be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2520 extended during reading of the rest of the file. This is not expected to be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2521 common, however. If you are short on memory you may want to reset the length
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2522 limit to zero for all marker types after finishing jpeg_read_header, to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2523 ensure that the max_memory_to_use setting cannot be exceeded due to addition
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2524 of later markers.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2525
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2526 The marker list remains stored until you call jpeg_finish_decompress or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2527 jpeg_abort, at which point the memory is freed and the list is set to empty.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2528 (jpeg_destroy also releases the storage, of course.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2529
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2530 Note that the library is internally interested in APP0 and APP14 markers;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2531 if you try to set a small nonzero length limit on these types, the library
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2532 will silently force the length up to the minimum it wants. (But you can set
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2533 a zero length limit to prevent them from being saved at all.) Also, in a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2534 16-bit environment, the maximum length limit may be constrained to less than
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2535 65533 by malloc() limitations. It is therefore best not to assume that the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2536 effective length limit is exactly what you set it to be.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2537
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2538
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2539 If you want to supply your own marker-reading routine, you do it by calling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2540 jpeg_set_marker_processor(). A marker processor routine must have the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2541 signature
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2542 boolean jpeg_marker_parser_method (j_decompress_ptr cinfo)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2543 Although the marker code is not explicitly passed, the routine can find it
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2544 in cinfo->unread_marker. At the time of call, the marker proper has been
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2545 read from the data source module. The processor routine is responsible for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2546 reading the marker length word and the remaining parameter bytes, if any.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2547 Return TRUE to indicate success. (FALSE should be returned only if you are
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2548 using a suspending data source and it tells you to suspend. See the standard
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2549 marker processors in jdmarker.c for appropriate coding methods if you need to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2550 use a suspending data source.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2551
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2552 If you override the default APP0 or APP14 processors, it is up to you to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2553 recognize JFIF and Adobe markers if you want colorspace recognition to occur
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2554 properly. We recommend copying and extending the default processors if you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2555 want to do that. (A better idea is to save these marker types for later
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2556 examination by calling jpeg_save_markers(); that method doesn't interfere
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2557 with the library's own processing of these markers.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2558
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2559 jpeg_set_marker_processor() and jpeg_save_markers() are mutually exclusive
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2560 --- if you call one it overrides any previous call to the other, for the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2561 particular marker type specified.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2562
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2563 A simple example of an external COM processor can be found in djpeg.c.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2564 Also, see jpegtran.c for an example of using jpeg_save_markers.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2565
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2566
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2567 Raw (downsampled) image data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2568 ----------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2569
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2570 Some applications need to supply already-downsampled image data to the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2571 compressor, or to receive raw downsampled data from the decompressor. The
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2572 library supports this requirement by allowing the application to write or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2573 read raw data, bypassing the normal preprocessing or postprocessing steps.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2574 The interface is different from the standard one and is somewhat harder to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2575 use. If your interest is merely in bypassing color conversion, we recommend
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2576 that you use the standard interface and simply set jpeg_color_space =
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2577 in_color_space (or jpeg_color_space = out_color_space for decompression).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2578 The mechanism described in this section is necessary only to supply or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2579 receive downsampled image data, in which not all components have the same
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2580 dimensions.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2581
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2582
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2583 To compress raw data, you must supply the data in the colorspace to be used
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2584 in the JPEG file (please read the earlier section on Special color spaces)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2585 and downsampled to the sampling factors specified in the JPEG parameters.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2586 You must supply the data in the format used internally by the JPEG library,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2587 namely a JSAMPIMAGE array. This is an array of pointers to two-dimensional
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2588 arrays, each of type JSAMPARRAY. Each 2-D array holds the values for one
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2589 color component. This structure is necessary since the components are of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2590 different sizes. If the image dimensions are not a multiple of the MCU size,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2591 you must also pad the data correctly (usually, this is done by replicating
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2592 the last column and/or row). The data must be padded to a multiple of a DCT
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2593 block in each component: that is, each downsampled row must contain a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2594 multiple of block_size valid samples, and there must be a multiple of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2595 block_size sample rows for each component. (For applications such as
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2596 conversion of digital TV images, the standard image size is usually a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2597 multiple of the DCT block size, so that no padding need actually be done.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2598
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2599 The procedure for compression of raw data is basically the same as normal
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2600 compression, except that you call jpeg_write_raw_data() in place of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2601 jpeg_write_scanlines(). Before calling jpeg_start_compress(), you must do
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2602 the following:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2603 * Set cinfo->raw_data_in to TRUE. (It is set FALSE by jpeg_set_defaults().)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2604 This notifies the library that you will be supplying raw data.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2605 Furthermore, set cinfo->do_fancy_downsampling to FALSE if you want to use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2606 real downsampled data. (It is set TRUE by jpeg_set_defaults().)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2607 * Ensure jpeg_color_space is correct --- an explicit jpeg_set_colorspace()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2608 call is a good idea. Note that since color conversion is bypassed,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2609 in_color_space is ignored, except that jpeg_set_defaults() uses it to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2610 choose the default jpeg_color_space setting.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2611 * Ensure the sampling factors, cinfo->comp_info[i].h_samp_factor and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2612 cinfo->comp_info[i].v_samp_factor, are correct. Since these indicate the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2613 dimensions of the data you are supplying, it's wise to set them
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2614 explicitly, rather than assuming the library's defaults are what you want.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2615
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2616 To pass raw data to the library, call jpeg_write_raw_data() in place of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2617 jpeg_write_scanlines(). The two routines work similarly except that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2618 jpeg_write_raw_data takes a JSAMPIMAGE data array rather than JSAMPARRAY.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2619 The scanlines count passed to and returned from jpeg_write_raw_data is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2620 measured in terms of the component with the largest v_samp_factor.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2621
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2622 jpeg_write_raw_data() processes one MCU row per call, which is to say
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2623 v_samp_factor*block_size sample rows of each component. The passed num_lines
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2624 value must be at least max_v_samp_factor*block_size, and the return value
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2625 will be exactly that amount (or possibly some multiple of that amount, in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2626 future library versions). This is true even on the last call at the bottom
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2627 of the image; don't forget to pad your data as necessary.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2628
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2629 The required dimensions of the supplied data can be computed for each
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2630 component as
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2631 cinfo->comp_info[i].width_in_blocks*block_size samples per row
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2632 cinfo->comp_info[i].height_in_blocks*block_size rows in image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2633 after jpeg_start_compress() has initialized those fields. If the valid data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2634 is smaller than this, it must be padded appropriately. For some sampling
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2635 factors and image sizes, additional dummy DCT blocks are inserted to make
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2636 the image a multiple of the MCU dimensions. The library creates such dummy
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2637 blocks itself; it does not read them from your supplied data. Therefore you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2638 need never pad by more than block_size samples. An example may help here.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2639 Assume 2h2v downsampling of YCbCr data, that is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2640 cinfo->comp_info[0].h_samp_factor = 2 for Y
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2641 cinfo->comp_info[0].v_samp_factor = 2
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2642 cinfo->comp_info[1].h_samp_factor = 1 for Cb
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2643 cinfo->comp_info[1].v_samp_factor = 1
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2644 cinfo->comp_info[2].h_samp_factor = 1 for Cr
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2645 cinfo->comp_info[2].v_samp_factor = 1
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2646 and suppose that the nominal image dimensions (cinfo->image_width and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2647 cinfo->image_height) are 101x101 pixels. Then jpeg_start_compress() will
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2648 compute downsampled_width = 101 and width_in_blocks = 13 for Y,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2649 downsampled_width = 51 and width_in_blocks = 7 for Cb and Cr (and the same
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2650 for the height fields). You must pad the Y data to at least 13*8 = 104
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2651 columns and rows, the Cb/Cr data to at least 7*8 = 56 columns and rows. The
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2652 MCU height is max_v_samp_factor = 2 DCT rows so you must pass at least 16
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2653 scanlines on each call to jpeg_write_raw_data(), which is to say 16 actual
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2654 sample rows of Y and 8 each of Cb and Cr. A total of 7 MCU rows are needed,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2655 so you must pass a total of 7*16 = 112 "scanlines". The last DCT block row
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2656 of Y data is dummy, so it doesn't matter what you pass for it in the data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2657 arrays, but the scanlines count must total up to 112 so that all of the Cb
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2658 and Cr data gets passed.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2659
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2660 Output suspension is supported with raw-data compression: if the data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2661 destination module suspends, jpeg_write_raw_data() will return 0.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2662 In this case the same data rows must be passed again on the next call.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2663
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2664
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2665 Decompression with raw data output implies bypassing all postprocessing.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2666 You must deal with the color space and sampling factors present in the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2667 incoming file. If your application only handles, say, 2h1v YCbCr data,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2668 you must check for and fail on other color spaces or other sampling factors.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2669 The library will not convert to a different color space for you.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2670
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2671 To obtain raw data output, set cinfo->raw_data_out = TRUE before
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2672 jpeg_start_decompress() (it is set FALSE by jpeg_read_header()). Be sure to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2673 verify that the color space and sampling factors are ones you can handle.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2674 Furthermore, set cinfo->do_fancy_upsampling = FALSE if you want to get real
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2675 downsampled data (it is set TRUE by jpeg_read_header()).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2676 Then call jpeg_read_raw_data() in place of jpeg_read_scanlines(). The
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2677 decompression process is otherwise the same as usual.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2678
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2679 jpeg_read_raw_data() returns one MCU row per call, and thus you must pass a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2680 buffer of at least max_v_samp_factor*block_size scanlines (scanline counting
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2681 is the same as for raw-data compression). The buffer you pass must be large
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2682 enough to hold the actual data plus padding to DCT-block boundaries. As with
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2683 compression, any entirely dummy DCT blocks are not processed so you need not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2684 allocate space for them, but the total scanline count includes them. The
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2685 above example of computing buffer dimensions for raw-data compression is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2686 equally valid for decompression.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2687
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2688 Input suspension is supported with raw-data decompression: if the data source
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2689 module suspends, jpeg_read_raw_data() will return 0. You can also use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2690 buffered-image mode to read raw data in multiple passes.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2691
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2692
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2693 Really raw data: DCT coefficients
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2694 ---------------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2695
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2696 It is possible to read or write the contents of a JPEG file as raw DCT
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2697 coefficients. This facility is mainly intended for use in lossless
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2698 transcoding between different JPEG file formats. Other possible applications
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2699 include lossless cropping of a JPEG image, lossless reassembly of a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2700 multi-strip or multi-tile TIFF/JPEG file into a single JPEG datastream, etc.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2701
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2702 To read the contents of a JPEG file as DCT coefficients, open the file and do
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2703 jpeg_read_header() as usual. But instead of calling jpeg_start_decompress()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2704 and jpeg_read_scanlines(), call jpeg_read_coefficients(). This will read the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2705 entire image into a set of virtual coefficient-block arrays, one array per
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2706 component. The return value is a pointer to an array of virtual-array
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2707 descriptors. Each virtual array can be accessed directly using the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2708 memory manager's access_virt_barray method (see Memory management, below,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2709 and also read structure.txt's discussion of virtual array handling). Or,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2710 for simple transcoding to a different JPEG file format, the array list can
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2711 just be handed directly to jpeg_write_coefficients().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2712
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2713 Each block in the block arrays contains quantized coefficient values in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2714 normal array order (not JPEG zigzag order). The block arrays contain only
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2715 DCT blocks containing real data; any entirely-dummy blocks added to fill out
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2716 interleaved MCUs at the right or bottom edges of the image are discarded
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2717 during reading and are not stored in the block arrays. (The size of each
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2718 block array can be determined from the width_in_blocks and height_in_blocks
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2719 fields of the component's comp_info entry.) This is also the data format
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2720 expected by jpeg_write_coefficients().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2721
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2722 When you are done using the virtual arrays, call jpeg_finish_decompress()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2723 to release the array storage and return the decompression object to an idle
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2724 state; or just call jpeg_destroy() if you don't need to reuse the object.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2725
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2726 If you use a suspending data source, jpeg_read_coefficients() will return
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2727 NULL if it is forced to suspend; a non-NULL return value indicates successful
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2728 completion. You need not test for a NULL return value when using a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2729 non-suspending data source.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2730
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2731 It is also possible to call jpeg_read_coefficients() to obtain access to the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2732 decoder's coefficient arrays during a normal decode cycle in buffered-image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2733 mode. This frammish might be useful for progressively displaying an incoming
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2734 image and then re-encoding it without loss. To do this, decode in buffered-
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2735 image mode as discussed previously, then call jpeg_read_coefficients() after
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2736 the last jpeg_finish_output() call. The arrays will be available for your use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2737 until you call jpeg_finish_decompress().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2738
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2739
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2740 To write the contents of a JPEG file as DCT coefficients, you must provide
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2741 the DCT coefficients stored in virtual block arrays. You can either pass
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2742 block arrays read from an input JPEG file by jpeg_read_coefficients(), or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2743 allocate virtual arrays from the JPEG compression object and fill them
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2744 yourself. In either case, jpeg_write_coefficients() is substituted for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2745 jpeg_start_compress() and jpeg_write_scanlines(). Thus the sequence is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2746 * Create compression object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2747 * Set all compression parameters as necessary
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2748 * Request virtual arrays if needed
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2749 * jpeg_write_coefficients()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2750 * jpeg_finish_compress()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2751 * Destroy or re-use compression object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2752 jpeg_write_coefficients() is passed a pointer to an array of virtual block
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2753 array descriptors; the number of arrays is equal to cinfo.num_components.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2754
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2755 The virtual arrays need only have been requested, not realized, before
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2756 jpeg_write_coefficients() is called. A side-effect of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2757 jpeg_write_coefficients() is to realize any virtual arrays that have been
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2758 requested from the compression object's memory manager. Thus, when obtaining
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2759 the virtual arrays from the compression object, you should fill the arrays
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2760 after calling jpeg_write_coefficients(). The data is actually written out
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2761 when you call jpeg_finish_compress(); jpeg_write_coefficients() only writes
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2762 the file header.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2763
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2764 When writing raw DCT coefficients, it is crucial that the JPEG quantization
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2765 tables and sampling factors match the way the data was encoded, or the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2766 resulting file will be invalid. For transcoding from an existing JPEG file,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2767 we recommend using jpeg_copy_critical_parameters(). This routine initializes
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2768 all the compression parameters to default values (like jpeg_set_defaults()),
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2769 then copies the critical information from a source decompression object.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2770 The decompression object should have just been used to read the entire
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2771 JPEG input file --- that is, it should be awaiting jpeg_finish_decompress().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2772
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2773 jpeg_write_coefficients() marks all tables stored in the compression object
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2774 as needing to be written to the output file (thus, it acts like
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2775 jpeg_start_compress(cinfo, TRUE)). This is for safety's sake, to avoid
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2776 emitting abbreviated JPEG files by accident. If you really want to emit an
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2777 abbreviated JPEG file, call jpeg_suppress_tables(), or set the tables'
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2778 individual sent_table flags, between calling jpeg_write_coefficients() and

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2782 Progress monitoring
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2783 -------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2784
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2785 Some applications may need to regain control from the JPEG library every so
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2786 often. The typical use of this feature is to produce a percent-done bar or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2787 other progress display. (For a simple example, see cjpeg.c or djpeg.c.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2788 Although you do get control back frequently during the data-transferring pass
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2789 (the jpeg_read_scanlines or jpeg_write_scanlines loop), any additional passes
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2790 will occur inside jpeg_finish_compress or jpeg_start_decompress; those
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2791 routines may take a long time to execute, and you don't get control back
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2792 until they are done.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2793
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2794 You can define a progress-monitor routine which will be called periodically
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2795 by the library. No guarantees are made about how often this call will occur,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2796 so we don't recommend you use it for mouse tracking or anything like that.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2797 At present, a call will occur once per MCU row, scanline, or sample row
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2798 group, whichever unit is convenient for the current processing mode; so the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2799 wider the image, the longer the time between calls. During the data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2800 transferring pass, only one call occurs per call of jpeg_read_scanlines or
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2801 jpeg_write_scanlines, so don't pass a large number of scanlines at once if
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2802 you want fine resolution in the progress count. (If you really need to use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2803 the callback mechanism for time-critical tasks like mouse tracking, you could
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2804 insert additional calls inside some of the library's inner loops.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2805
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2806 To establish a progress-monitor callback, create a struct jpeg_progress_mgr,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2807 fill in its progress_monitor field with a pointer to your callback routine,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2808 and set cinfo->progress to point to the struct. The callback will be called
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2809 whenever cinfo->progress is non-NULL. (This pointer is set to NULL by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2810 jpeg_create_compress or jpeg_create_decompress; the library will not change
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2811 it thereafter. So if you allocate dynamic storage for the progress struct,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2812 make sure it will live as long as the JPEG object does. Allocating from the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2813 JPEG memory manager with lifetime JPOOL_PERMANENT will work nicely.) You
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2814 can use the same callback routine for both compression and decompression.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2815
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2816 The jpeg_progress_mgr struct contains four fields which are set by the library:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2817 long pass_counter; /* work units completed in this pass */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2818 long pass_limit; /* total number of work units in this pass */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2819 int completed_passes; /* passes completed so far */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2820 int total_passes; /* total number of passes expected */
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2821 During any one pass, pass_counter increases from 0 up to (not including)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2822 pass_limit; the step size is usually but not necessarily 1. The pass_limit
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2823 value may change from one pass to another. The expected total number of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2824 passes is in total_passes, and the number of passes already completed is in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2825 completed_passes. Thus the fraction of work completed may be estimated as
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2826 completed_passes + (pass_counter/pass_limit)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2827 --------------------------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2828 total_passes
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2829 ignoring the fact that the passes may not be equal amounts of work.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2830
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2831 When decompressing, pass_limit can even change within a pass, because it
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2832 depends on the number of scans in the JPEG file, which isn't always known in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2833 advance. The computed fraction-of-work-done may jump suddenly (if the library
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2834 discovers it has overestimated the number of scans) or even decrease (in the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2835 opposite case). It is not wise to put great faith in the work estimate.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2836
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2837 When using the decompressor's buffered-image mode, the progress monitor work
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2838 estimate is likely to be completely unhelpful, because the library has no way
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2839 to know how many output passes will be demanded of it. Currently, the library
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2840 sets total_passes based on the assumption that there will be one more output
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2841 pass if the input file end hasn't yet been read (jpeg_input_complete() isn't
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2842 TRUE), but no more output passes if the file end has been reached when the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2843 output pass is started. This means that total_passes will rise as additional
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2844 output passes are requested. If you have a way of determining the input file
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2845 size, estimating progress based on the fraction of the file that's been read
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2846 will probably be more useful than using the library's value.

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2849 Memory management
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2850 -----------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2851
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2852 This section covers some key facts about the JPEG library's built-in memory
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2853 manager. For more info, please read structure.txt's section about the memory
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2854 manager, and consult the source code if necessary.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2855
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2856 All memory and temporary file allocation within the library is done via the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2857 memory manager. If necessary, you can replace the "back end" of the memory
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2858 manager to control allocation yourself (for example, if you don't want the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2859 library to use malloc() and free() for some reason).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2860
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2861 Some data is allocated "permanently" and will not be freed until the JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2862 object is destroyed. Most data is allocated "per image" and is freed by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2863 jpeg_finish_compress, jpeg_finish_decompress, or jpeg_abort. You can call the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2864 memory manager yourself to allocate structures that will automatically be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2865 freed at these times. Typical code for this is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2866 ptr = (*cinfo->mem->alloc_small) ((j_common_ptr) cinfo, JPOOL_IMAGE, size);
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2867 Use JPOOL_PERMANENT to get storage that lasts as long as the JPEG object.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2868 Use alloc_large instead of alloc_small for anything bigger than a few Kbytes.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2869 There are also alloc_sarray and alloc_barray routines that automatically
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2870 build 2-D sample or block arrays.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2871
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2872 The library's minimum space requirements to process an image depend on the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2873 image's width, but not on its height, because the library ordinarily works
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2874 with "strip" buffers that are as wide as the image but just a few rows high.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2875 Some operating modes (eg, two-pass color quantization) require full-image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2876 buffers. Such buffers are treated as "virtual arrays": only the current strip
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2877 need be in memory, and the rest can be swapped out to a temporary file.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2878
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2879 If you use the simplest memory manager back end (jmemnobs.c), then no
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2880 temporary files are used; virtual arrays are simply malloc()'d. Images bigger
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2881 than memory can be processed only if your system supports virtual memory.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2882 The other memory manager back ends support temporary files of various flavors
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2883 and thus work in machines without virtual memory. They may also be useful on
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2884 Unix machines if you need to process images that exceed available swap space.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2885
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2886 When using temporary files, the library will make the in-memory buffers for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2887 its virtual arrays just big enough to stay within a "maximum memory" setting.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2888 Your application can set this limit by setting cinfo->mem->max_memory_to_use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2889 after creating the JPEG object. (Of course, there is still a minimum size for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2890 the buffers, so the max-memory setting is effective only if it is bigger than
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2891 the minimum space needed.) If you allocate any large structures yourself, you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2892 must allocate them before jpeg_start_compress() or jpeg_start_decompress() in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2893 order to have them counted against the max memory limit. Also keep in mind
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2894 that space allocated with alloc_small() is ignored, on the assumption that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2895 it's too small to be worth worrying about; so a reasonable safety margin
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2896 should be left when setting max_memory_to_use.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2897
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2898 If you use the jmemname.c or jmemdos.c memory manager back end, it is
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2899 important to clean up the JPEG object properly to ensure that the temporary
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2900 files get deleted. (This is especially crucial with jmemdos.c, where the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2901 "temporary files" may be extended-memory segments; if they are not freed,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2902 DOS will require a reboot to recover the memory.) Thus, with these memory
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2903 managers, it's a good idea to provide a signal handler that will trap any
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2904 early exit from your program. The handler should call either jpeg_abort()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2905 or jpeg_destroy() for any active JPEG objects. A handler is not needed with
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2906 jmemnobs.c, and shouldn't be necessary with jmemansi.c or jmemmac.c either,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2907 since the C library is supposed to take care of deleting files made with
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2908 tmpfile().
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2909
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2910
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2911 Memory usage
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2912 ------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2913
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2914 Working memory requirements while performing compression or decompression
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2915 depend on image dimensions, image characteristics (such as colorspace and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2916 JPEG process), and operating mode (application-selected options).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2917
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2918 As of v6b, the decompressor requires:
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2919 1. About 24K in more-or-less-fixed-size data. This varies a bit depending
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2920 on operating mode and image characteristics (particularly color vs.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2921 grayscale), but it doesn't depend on image dimensions.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2922 2. Strip buffers (of size proportional to the image width) for IDCT and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2923 upsampling results. The worst case for commonly used sampling factors
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2924 is about 34 bytes * width in pixels for a color image. A grayscale image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2925 only needs about 8 bytes per pixel column.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2926 3. A full-image DCT coefficient buffer is needed to decode a multi-scan JPEG
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2927 file (including progressive JPEGs), or whenever you select buffered-image
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2928 mode. This takes 2 bytes/coefficient. At typical 2x2 sampling, that's
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2929 3 bytes per pixel for a color image. Worst case (1x1 sampling) requires
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2930 6 bytes/pixel. For grayscale, figure 2 bytes/pixel.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2931 4. To perform 2-pass color quantization, the decompressor also needs a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2932 128K color lookup table and a full-image pixel buffer (3 bytes/pixel).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2933 This does not count any memory allocated by the application, such as a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2934 buffer to hold the final output image.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2935
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2936 The above figures are valid for 8-bit JPEG data precision and a machine with
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2937 32-bit ints. For 9-bit to 12-bit JPEG data, double the size of the strip
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2938 buffers and quantization pixel buffer. The "fixed-size" data will be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2939 somewhat smaller with 16-bit ints, larger with 64-bit ints. Also, CMYK
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2940 or other unusual color spaces will require different amounts of space.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2941
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2942 The full-image coefficient and pixel buffers, if needed at all, do not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2943 have to be fully RAM resident; you can have the library use temporary
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2944 files instead when the total memory usage would exceed a limit you set.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2945 (But if your OS supports virtual memory, it's probably better to just use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2946 jmemnobs and let the OS do the swapping.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2947
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2948 The compressor's memory requirements are similar, except that it has no need
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2949 for color quantization. Also, it needs a full-image DCT coefficient buffer
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2950 if Huffman-table optimization is asked for, even if progressive mode is not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2951 requested.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2952
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2953 If you need more detailed information about memory usage in a particular
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2954 situation, you can enable the MEM_STATS code in jmemmgr.c.

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2959
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2960 A number of compile-time options are available by modifying jmorecfg.h.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2961
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2962 The IJG code currently supports 8-bit to 12-bit sample data precision by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2963 defining BITS_IN_JSAMPLE as 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2964 Note that a value larger than 8 causes JSAMPLE to be larger than a char,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2965 so it affects the surrounding application's image data.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2966 The sample applications cjpeg and djpeg can support deeper than 8-bit data
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2967 only for PPM and GIF file formats; you must disable the other file formats
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2968 to compile a 9-bit to 12-bit cjpeg or djpeg. (install.txt has more
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2969 information about that.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2970 Run-time selection and conversion of data precision are currently not
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2971 supported and may be added later.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2972 Exception: The transcoding part (jpegtran) supports all settings in a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2973 single instance, since it operates on the level of DCT coefficients and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2974 not sample values.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2975 (If you need to include an 8-bit library and a 9-bit to 12-bit library for
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2976 compression or decompression in a single application, you could probably do
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2977 it by defining NEED_SHORT_EXTERNAL_NAMES for just one of the copies. You'd
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2978 have to access the 8-bit and the 9-bit to 12-bit copies from separate
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2979 application source files. This is untested ... if you try it, we'd like to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2980 hear whether it works!)

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2982 Note that the standard Huffman tables are only valid for 8-bit data precision.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2983 If you selected more than 8-bit data precision, cjpeg uses arithmetic coding
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2984 by default. The Huffman encoder normally uses entropy optimization to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2985 compute usable tables for higher precision. Otherwise, you'll have to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2986 supply different default Huffman tables. You may also want to supply your
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2987 own DCT quantization tables; the existing quality-scaling code has been
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2988 developed for 8-bit use, and probably doesn't generate especially good tables
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2989 for 9-bit to 12-bit.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2990
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2991 The maximum number of components (color channels) in the image is determined
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2992 by MAX_COMPONENTS. The JPEG standard allows up to 255 components, but we
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2993 expect that few applications will need more than four or so.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2994
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2995 On machines with unusual data type sizes, you may be able to improve
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2996 performance or reduce memory space by tweaking the various typedefs in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2997 jmorecfg.h. In particular, on some RISC CPUs, access to arrays of "short"s
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2998 is quite slow; consider trading memory for speed by making JCOEF, INT16, and
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 2999 UINT16 be "int" or "unsigned int". UINT8 is also a candidate to become int.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3000 You probably don't want to make JSAMPLE be int unless you have lots of memory
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3001 to burn.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3002
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3003 You can reduce the size of the library by compiling out various optional
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3004 functions. To do this, undefine xxx_SUPPORTED symbols as necessary.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3005
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3006 You can also save a few K by not having text error messages in the library;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3007 the standard error message table occupies about 5Kb. This is particularly
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3008 reasonable for embedded applications where there's no good way to display
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3009 a message anyway. To do this, remove the creation of the message table
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3010 (jpeg_std_message_table[]) from jerror.c, and alter format_message to do
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3011 something reasonable without it. You could output the numeric value of the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3012 message code number, for example. If you do this, you can also save a couple
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3013 more K by modifying the TRACEMSn() macros in jerror.h to expand to nothing;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3014 you don't need trace capability anyway, right?

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3017 Portability considerations
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3018 --------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3019
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3020 The JPEG library has been written to be extremely portable; the sample
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3021 applications cjpeg and djpeg are slightly less so. This section summarizes
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3022 the design goals in this area. (If you encounter any bugs that cause the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3023 library to be less portable than is claimed here, we'd appreciate hearing
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3024 about them.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3025
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3026 The code works fine on ANSI C, C++, and pre-ANSI C compilers, using any of
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3027 the popular system include file setups, and some not-so-popular ones too.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3028 See install.txt for configuration procedures.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3029
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3030 The code is not dependent on the exact sizes of the C data types. As
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3031 distributed, we make the assumptions that
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3032 char is at least 8 bits wide
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3033 short is at least 16 bits wide
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3034 int is at least 16 bits wide
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3035 long is at least 32 bits wide
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3036 (These are the minimum requirements of the ANSI C standard.) Wider types will
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3037 work fine, although memory may be used inefficiently if char is much larger
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3038 than 8 bits or short is much bigger than 16 bits. The code should work
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3039 equally well with 16- or 32-bit ints.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3040
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3041 In a system where these assumptions are not met, you may be able to make the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3042 code work by modifying the typedefs in jmorecfg.h. However, you will probably
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3043 have difficulty if int is less than 16 bits wide, since references to plain
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3044 int abound in the code.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3045
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3046 char can be either signed or unsigned, although the code runs faster if an
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3047 unsigned char type is available. If char is wider than 8 bits, you will need
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3048 to redefine JOCTET and/or provide custom data source/destination managers so
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3049 that JOCTET represents exactly 8 bits of data on external storage.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3050
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3051 The JPEG library proper does not assume ASCII representation of characters.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3052 But some of the image file I/O modules in cjpeg/djpeg do have ASCII
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3053 dependencies in file-header manipulation; so does cjpeg's select_file_type()
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3054 routine.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3055
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3056 The JPEG library does not rely heavily on the C library. In particular, C
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3057 stdio is used only by the data source/destination modules and the error
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3058 handler, all of which are application-replaceable. (cjpeg/djpeg are more
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3059 heavily dependent on stdio.) malloc and free are called only from the memory
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3060 manager "back end" module, so you can use a different memory allocator by
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3061 replacing that one file.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3062
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3063 The code generally assumes that C names must be unique in the first 15
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3064 characters. However, global function names can be made unique in the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3065 first 6 characters by defining NEED_SHORT_EXTERNAL_NAMES.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3066
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3067 More info about porting the code may be gleaned by reading jconfig.txt,
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3068 jmorecfg.h, and jinclude.h.

shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3071 Notes for MS-DOS implementors
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3072 -----------------------------
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3073
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3074 The IJG code is designed to work efficiently in 80x86 "small" or "medium"
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3075 memory models (i.e., data pointers are 16 bits unless explicitly declared
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3076 "far"; code pointers can be either size). You may be able to use small
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3077 model to compile cjpeg or djpeg by itself, but you will probably have to use
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3078 medium model for any larger application. This won't make much difference in
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3079 performance. You *will* take a noticeable performance hit if you use a
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3080 large-data memory model (perhaps 10%-25%), and you should avoid "huge" model
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3081 if at all possible.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3082
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3083 The JPEG library typically needs 2Kb-3Kb of stack space. It will also
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3084 malloc about 20K-30K of near heap space while executing (and lots of far
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3085 heap, but that doesn't count in this calculation). This figure will vary
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3086 depending on selected operating mode, and to a lesser extent on image size.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3087 There is also about 5Kb-6Kb of constant data which will be allocated in the
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3088 near data segment (about 4Kb of this is the error message table).
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3089 Thus you have perhaps 20K available for other modules' static data and near
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3090 heap space before you need to go to a larger memory model. The C library's
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3091 static data will account for several K of this, but that still leaves a good
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3092 deal for your needs. (If you are tight on space, you could reduce the sizes
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3093 of the I/O buffers allocated by jdatasrc.c and jdatadst.c, say from 4K to
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3094 1K. Another possibility is to move the error message table to far memory;
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3095 this should be doable with only localized hacking on jerror.c.)
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3096
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3097 About 2K of the near heap space is "permanent" memory that will not be
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3098 released until you destroy the JPEG object. This is only an issue if you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3099 save a JPEG object between compression or decompression operations.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3100
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3101 Far data space may also be a tight resource when you are dealing with large
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3102 images. The most memory-intensive case is decompression with two-pass color
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3103 quantization, or single-pass quantization to an externally supplied color
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3104 map. This requires a 128Kb color lookup table plus strip buffers amounting
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3105 to about 40 bytes per column for typical sampling ratios (eg, about 25600
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3106 bytes for a 640-pixel-wide image). You may not be able to process wide
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3107 images if you have large data structures of your own.
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3108
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3109 Of course, all of these concerns vanish if you use a 32-bit flat-memory-model
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3110 compiler, such as DJGPP or Watcom C. We highly recommend flat model if you
shoaib_ahmed 0:791a779d6220 3111 can use it; the JPEG library is significantly faster in flat model.
