JPEG codec library

Please change the description on this file to something like "JPEG 2000 codec library".

Since jpeg (.jpg) and jpeg (.jp2) are two entirely different formats the current description (which is different from the one I set, which I admit was rather minimal) is very confusing IMO.

Jpeg 2000 is the successor of jpeg format and offers better compression/quality than jpeg but is from what I've read supported by none of the major browsers ATM.

So it doesn't handle normal jpeg files then?

Thanks for fixing the description so quickly.

Correct. It only has codecs for JPEG 2000 formats.

Quote:

/**
Supported codec
*/
typedef enum CODEC_FORMAT {
CODEC_UNKNOWN = -1, /**< place-holder */
CODEC_J2K = 0, /**< JPEG-2000 codestream : read/write */
CODEC_JPT = 1, /**< JPT-stream (JPEG 2000, JPIP) : read only */
CODEC_JP2 = 2 /**< JPEG-2000 file format : read/write */
} OPJ_CODEC_FORMAT;

So, does the OS4 JPEG Datatype support JPEG2000? If not, are you planning on releasing a JPEG2000 Datatype?

I see.

OT: Just e general question. Is the API on the original .so stable? Linux shared object API's doesn't always stay backwards compatible with earlier versions of the same libraries like amiga libraries does. Will your port stay backwards compatible even if the so doesn't?

I'm looking into it, yes.

I originally created the library for my icns.datatype. Using static linking the size of the datatype was increased from about 14000 bytes to about 140000 bytes (a few k less when stripped).

I dont see a problem here, if the API changes salass00 could simply add a new Interface to the Library.

Cool, I'll give it a try (I'll need to find some JPEG2000s first though!)

@orgin

If it is possible without too much work I will try to keep the API compatible by writing wrapper functions f.e. if needed. Without knowing what the possible incompatible API changes might be it is a little hard to answer more clearly though.

There are some .jp2 files here:
http://www.openjpeg.org/index.php?menu=samples

and a couple here:

Note that I haven't added .j2k support to the datatype yet.

I have uploaded 0.2 which has j2k support now.

Just as a warning the Bretagne2.j2k pic (~5MB) runs out of memory here and crashes when I try to open it, others work ok except for Facade.j2k which doesn't work for some reason.

Facade is a JPWL, whatever one of those is. It must be a slightly different form of J2K.

That compression is really good, much better than standard JPEG.

Any chance of an Installer script for your datatypes? (you're welcome to nick and modify one from one of my datatype archives)

All I need now is a utility to convert my JPEGs to JPEG2000 format

You can try image_to_j2k (also converts to jp2) from here:

Maybe in the next version(s).

Thanks for the offer. IIRC I used one of your scripts as an example when writing the Install script for diskimage.device.

I suspect a memory allocation function either in openjpeg.library or in the datatype, is not checking that it actually got memory.

The problem is in libopenjpeg. When I program I always check memory allocations and other functions that can fail so that I can handle such conditions without crashing.

The stack trace also seems to confirm this.

It didn't work because libopenjpeg wasn't compiled with -DUSE_JPWL. The file does work with v52.2 of openjpeg.library I just uploaded to OS4Depot.

I have just compiled libopenjpeg 1.3, it should be faster and use less memory. I will do some tests and if all is fine, it should be in OS4Depot this weekend.

I just have a few minor comments.

The version reported for the DT descriptors is:
"J2K . (29.7.08)" & "JP2 . (29.7.08)"
They need to be fixed so the version command interprets them correctly. (That way the version of the descriptors and the datatype will match)

The source files for the descriptors (J2K,JP2) start with the comment:
# DataType file for a RIFF-WAVE Sound

You might want to change RIFF-WAVE to JPEG2000 to avoid any confusion for developers.

Could you place the next upload in a directory before you archive it so the files don't get mixed with other files that might already exist in the destination dir?

Thanks for the good work.

P.S. Why do we need 2 descriptors (J2K, JP2)??
