Lossless cropping is performed after other lossless transform
operations, so the cropping region must be specified relative to the
destination image dimensions and level of chrominance subsampling, not
the source image dimensions and level of chrominance subsampling.
More specifically, if the lossless transform operation swaps the X and Y
axes, or if the image is converted to grayscale, then that changes the
cropping region requirements.
The JPEG-1 spec never uses the term "MCU block". That term is rarely
used in other literature to describe the equivalent of an MCU in an
interleaved JPEG image, but the libjpeg documentation uses "iMCU" to
describe the same thing. "iMCU" is a better term, since the equivalent
of an interleaved MCU can contain multiple DCT blocks (or samples in
lossless mode) that are only grouped together if the image is
interleaved.
In the case of restart markers, "MCU block" was used in the libjpeg
documentation instead of "MCU", but "MCU" is more accurate and less
confusing. (The restart interval is literally in MCUs, where one MCU
is one data unit in a non-interleaved JPEG image and multiple data units
in a multi-component interleaved JPEG image.)
In the case of 9b704f96b2, the issue was
actually with progressive JPEG images exactly two DCT blocks wide, not
two MCU blocks wide.
This commit also defines "MCU" and "MCU row" in the description of the
various restart marker options/parameters. Although an MCU row is
technically always a row of samples in lossless mode, "sample row" was
confusing, since it is used in other places to describe a row of samples
for a single component (whereas an MCU row in a typical lossless JPEG
image consists of a row of interleaved samples for all components.)
- "Optimized baseline entropy coding" = "Huffman table optimization"
"Optimized baseline entropy coding" was meant to emphasize that the
feature is only useful when generating baseline (single-scan lossy
8-bit-per-sample Huffman-coded) JPEG images, because it is
automatically enabled when generating Huffman-coded progressive
(multi-scan), 12-bit-per-sample, and lossless JPEG images. However,
Huffman table optimization isn't actually an integral part of those
non-baseline modes. You can forego Huffman table optimization with
12-bit data precision if you supply your own Huffman tables. The spec
doesn't require it with progressive or lossless mode, either, although
our implementation does. Furthermore, "baseline" describes more than
just the type of entropy coding used. It was incorrect to say that
optimized "baseline" entropy coding is automatically enabled for
Huffman-coded progressive, 12-bit-per-sample, and lossless JPEG
images, since those are clearly not baseline images.
- "Progressive entropy coding" = "Progressive JPEG"
"Progressive" describes more than just the type of entropy coding
used. (In fact, both Huffman-coded and arithmetic-coded images can be
progressive.)
- Mention that TJPARAM_OPTIMIZE/TJ.PARAM_OPTIMIZE can be used with
lossless transformation as well.
- General wordsmithing
- Formatting tweaks
This actually works and apparently always has worked. It only failed
because the libjpeg code, which did not originally support arithmetic
coding, assumed that optimize_coding should always be TRUE for 12-bit
data precision.
(ChangeLog update forthcoming)
- Prefix all function names with "tj3" and remove version suffixes from
function names. (Future API overhauls will increment the prefix to
"tj4", etc., thus retaining backward API/ABI compatibility without
versioning each individual function.)
- Replace stateless boolean flags (including TJ*FLAG_ARITHMETIC and
TJ*FLAG_LOSSLESS, which were never released) with stateful integer
parameters, the value of which persists between function calls.
* Use parameters for the JPEG quality and subsampling as well, in
order to eliminate the awkwardness of specifying function arguments
that weren't relevant for lossless compression.
* tj3DecompressHeader() now stores all relevant information about the
JPEG image, including the width, height, subsampling type, entropy
coding type, etc. in parameters rather than returning that
information in its arguments.
* TJ*FLAG_LIMITSCANS has been reimplemented as an integer parameter
(TJ*PARAM_SCANLIMIT) that allows the number of scans to be
specified.
- Use the const keyword for all pointer arguments to unmodified
buffers, as well as for both dimensions of 2D pointers. Addresses
#395.
- Use size_t rather than unsigned long to represent buffer sizes, since
unsigned long is a 32-bit type on Windows. Addresses #24.
- Return 0 from all buffer size functions if an error occurs, rather
than awkwardly trying to return -1 in an unsigned data type.
- Implement 12-bit and 16-bit data precision using dedicated
compression, decompression, and image I/O functions/methods.
* Suffix the names of all data-precision-specific functions with 8,
12, or 16.
* Because the YUV functions are intended to be used for video, they
are currently only implemented with 8-bit data precision, but they
can be expanded to 12-bit data precision in the future, if
necessary.
* Extend TJUnitTest and TJBench to test 12-bit and 16-bit data
precision, using a new -precision option.
* Add appropriate regression tests for all of the above to the 'test'
target.
* Extend tjbenchtest to test 12-bit and 16-bit data precision, and
add separate 'tjtest12' and 'tjtest16' targets.
* BufferedImage I/O in the Java API is currently limited to 8-bit
data precision, since the BufferedImage class does not
straightforwardly support higher data precisions.
* Extend the PPM reader to convert 12-bit and 16-bit PBMPLUS files
to grayscale or CMYK pixels, as it already does for 8-bit files.
- Properly accommodate lossless JPEG using dedicated parameters
(TJ*PARAM_LOSSLESS, TJ*PARAM_LOSSLESSPSV, and TJ*PARAM_LOSSLESSPT),
rather than using a flag and awkwardly repurposing the JPEG quality.
Update TJBench to properly reflect whether a JPEG image is lossless.
- Re-organize the TJBench usage screen.
- Update the Java docs using Java 11, to improve the formatting and
eliminate HTML frames.
- Use the accurate integer DCT algorithm by default for both
compression and decompression, since the "fast" algorithm is a legacy
feature, it does not pass the ISO compliance tests, and it is not
actually faster on modern x86 CPUs.
* Remove the -accuratedct option from TJBench and TJExample.
- Re-implement the 'tjtest' target using a CMake script that enables
the appropriate tests, depending on the data precision and whether or
not the Java API is part of the build.
- Consolidate the C and Java versions of tjbenchtest into one script.
- Consolidate the C and Java versions of tjexampletest into one script.
- Combine all initialization functions into a single function
(tj3Init()) that accepts an integer parameter specifying the
subsystems to initialize.
- Enable decompression scaling explicitly, using a new function/method
(tj3SetScalingFactor()/TJDecompressor.setScalingFactor()), rather
than implicitly using awkward "desired width"/"desired height"
parameters.
- Introduce a new macro/constant (TJUNSCALED/TJ.UNSCALED) that maps to
a scaling factor of 1/1.
- Implement partial image decompression, using a new function/method
(tj3SetCroppingRegion()/TJDecompressor.setCroppingRegion()) and
TJBench option (-crop). Extend tjbenchtest to test the new feature.
Addresses #1.
- Allow the JPEG colorspace to be specified explicitly when
compressing, using a new parameter (TJ*PARAM_COLORSPACE). This
allows JPEG images with the RGB and CMYK colorspaces to be created.
- Remove the error/difference image feature from TJBench. Identical
images to the ones that TJBench created can be generated using
ImageMagick with
'magick composite <original_image> <output_image> -compose difference <diff_image>'
- Handle JPEG images with unknown subsampling types. TJ*PARAM_SUBSAMP
is set to TJ*SAMP_UNKNOWN (== -1) for such images, but they can still
be decompressed fully into packed-pixel images or losslessly
transformed (with the exception of lossless cropping.) They cannot
be partially decompressed or decompressed into planar YUV images.
Note also that TJBench, due to its lack of support for imperfect
transforms, requires that the subsampling type be known when
rotating, flipping, or transversely transposing an image. Addresses
#436
- The Java version of TJBench now has identical functionality to the C
version. This was accomplished by (somewhat hackishly) calling the
TurboJPEG C image I/O functions through JNI and copying the pixels
between the C heap and the Java heap.
- Add parameters (TJ*PARAM_RESTARTROWS and TJ*PARAM_RESTARTBLOCKS) and
a TJBench option (-restart) to allow the restart marker interval to
be specified when compressing. Eliminate the undocumented TJ_RESTART
environment variable.
- Add a parameter (TJ*PARAM_OPTIMIZE), a transform option
(TJ*OPT_OPTIMIZE), and a TJBench option (-optimize) to allow
optimized baseline Huffman coding to be specified when compressing.
Eliminate the undocumented TJ_OPTIMIZE environment variable.
- Add parameters (TJ*PARAM_XDENSITY, TJ*PARAM_DENSITY, and
TJ*DENSITYUNITS) to allow the pixel density to be specified when
compressing or saving a Windows BMP image and to be queried when
decompressing or loading a Windows BMP image. Addresses #77.
- Refactor the fuzz targets to use the new API.
* Extend decompression coverage to 12-bit and 16-bit data precision.
* Replace the awkward cjpeg12 and cjpeg16 targets with proper
TurboJPEG-based compress12, compress12-lossless, and
compress16-lossless targets
- Fix innocuous UBSan warnings uncovered by the new fuzzers.
- Implement previous versions of the TurboJPEG API by wrapping the new
functions (tested by running the 2.1.x versions of TJBench, via
tjbenchtest, and TJUnitTest against the new implementation.)
* Remove all JNI functions for deprecated Java methods and implement
the deprecated methods using pure Java wrappers. It should be
understood that backward API compatibility in Java applies only to
the Java classes and that one cannot mix and match a JAR file from
one version of libjpeg-turbo with a JNI library from another
version.
- tj3Destroy() now silently accepts a NULL handle.
- tj3Alloc() and tj3Free() now return/accept void pointers, as malloc()
and free() do.
- The image I/O functions now accept a TurboJPEG instance handle, which
is used to transmit/receive parameters and to receive error
information.
Closes#517
- TJBench/TJUnitTest: Wordsmith command-line output
- Java: "decompress operations"="decompression operations"
- tjLoadImage(): Error message tweak
- Don't mention compression performance in the description of
TJXOPT_PROGRESSIVE/TJTransform.OPT_PROGRESSIVE, because the image has
already been compressed at that point.
(Oversights from 9a146f0f23)
- Wordsmithing, formatting, and grammar tweaks
- Various clarifications and corrections, including specifying whether
a particular buffer or image is used as a source or destination
- Accommodate/mention features that were introduced since the API
documentation was created.
- For clarity, use "packed-pixel" to describe uncompressed
source/destination images that are not planar YUV.
- Use "row" rather than "line" to refer to a single horizontal group of
pixels or component values, for consistency with the libjpeg API
documentation. (libjpeg also uses "scanline", which is a more archaic
term.)
- Use "alignment" rather than "padding" to refer to the number of bytes
by which a row's width is evenly divisible. This consistifies the
documention of the YUV functions and tjLoadImage(). ("Padding"
typically refers to the number of bytes added to each row, which is
not the same thing.)
- Remove all references to "the underlying codec." Although the
TurboJPEG API originated as a cross-platform wrapper for the Intel
Integrated Performance Primitives, Sun mediaLib, QuickTime, and
libjpeg, none of those TurboJPEG implementations has been maintained
since 2009. Nothing would prevent someone from implementing the
TurboJPEG API without libjpeg-turbo, but such an implementation would
not necessarily have an "underlying codec." (It could be fully
self-contained.)
- Use "destination image" rather than "output image", for consistency,
or describe the type of image that will be output.
- Avoid the term "image buffer" and instead use "byte buffer" to
refer to buffers that will hold JPEG images, or describe the type of
image that will be contained in the buffer. (The Java documentation
doesn't use "byte buffer", because the buffer arrays literally have
"byte" in front of them, and since Java doesn't have pointers, it is
not possible for mere mortals to store any other type of data in those
arrays.)
- C: Use "unified" to describe YUV images stored in a single buffer, for
consistency with the Java documentation.
- Use "planar YUV" rather than "YUV planar". Is is our convention to
describe images using {component layout} {colorspace/pixel format}
{image function}, e.g. "packed-pixel RGB source image" or "planar YUV
destination image."
- C: Document the TurboJPEG API version in which a particular function
or macro was introduced, and reorder the backward compatibility
function stubs in turbojpeg.h alphabetically by API version.
- C: Use Markdown rather than HTML tags, where possible, in the Doxygen
comments.
... and modify tjbench.c to match the variable name changes made to
TJBench.java
("checkstyle" = http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net, not our regex-based
checkstyle script)
Allow progressive entropy coding to be enabled on a
transform-by-transform basis, and implement a new transform option for
disabling the copying of markers.
Closes#153
Use a new checked exception type (TJException) when passing through
errors from the underlying C library. This gives the application a
choice of catching all exceptions or just those from TurboJPEG.
Throw IllegalArgumentException at the JNI level when arguments to the
JNI function are incorrect, and when one of the TurboJPEG "utility"
functions returns an error (because, per the C API specification, those
functions will only return an error if one of their arguments is out of
range.)
Remove "throws Exception" from the signature of any methods that no
longer pass through an error from the TurboJPEG C library.
