Image transformation, compression, and decompression codecs

Project description

Imagecodecs is a Python library that provides block-oriented, in-memory buffer transformation, compression, and decompression functions for use in the tifffile, czifile, and other scientific imaging modules.

Decode and/or encode functions are currently implemented for Zlib DEFLATE, ZStandard, Blosc, LZMA, BZ2, LZ4, LZW, LZF, PNG, WebP, JPEG 8-bit, JPEG 12-bit, JPEG SOF3, JPEG LS, JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, PackBits, Packed Integers, Delta, XOR Delta, Floating Point Predictor, and Bitorder reversal.

Version:

2019.1.1

Requirements

This release has been tested with the following requirements and dependencies (other versions may work):

Required for testing:

Notes

Imagecodecs is currently developed, built, and tested on Windows only.

The API is not stable yet and might change between revisions.

Works on little-endian platforms only.

Python 2.7 and 3.4 are deprecated.

Refer to the imagecodecs/licenses folder for 3rd party library licenses.

This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.

This software includes modified versions of dcm2niix’s jpg_0XC3.cpp and openjpeg’s color.c.

To install the requirements for building imagecodecs from source on Debian based Linux distributions, run:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev cython3 python3-setuptools python3-pip python3-wheel python3-numpy libz-dev libblosc-dev liblzma-dev liblz4-dev libzstd-dev libpng-dev libwebp-dev libbz2-dev libopenjp2-7-dev libjpeg62-turbo-dev libjxr-dev liblcms2-dev libtiff-dev

Revisions

2019.1.1

Do not install package if Cython extension fails to build. Fix compiler warnings.

2018.12.16

Pass 1537 tests. Reallocate LZW buffer on demand. Ignore integer type output arguments for codecs returning images.

2018.11.8

Pass 1323 tests. Decode LSB style LZW. Fix last byte not written by LZW decoder (bug fix). Permit unknown colorspaces in JPEG codecs (e.g. CFA used in TIFF).

2018.10.30

Add JPEG 8-bit and 12-bit encoders. Improve color space handling in JPEG codecs.

2018.10.28

2018.10.22

Add Blosc codecs via libblosc.

2018.10.21

Builds on Ubuntu 18.04 WSL. Include liblzf in srcdist. Do not require CreateDecoderFromBytes patch to jxrlib.

2018.10.18

Improve jpeg_decode wrapper.

2018.10.17

Add JPEG SOF3 decoder based on jpg_0XC3.cpp.

2018.10.10

Add PNG codecs via libpng. Add option to specify output colorspace in JPEG decoder. Fix Delta codec for floating point numbers. Fix XOR Delta codecs.

2018.9.30

Add LZF codecs via liblzf.

2018.9.22

Add WebP codecs via libwebp.

2018.8.29

Pass 396 tests. Add PackBits encoder.

2018.8.22

Add link library version information. Add option to specify size of LZW buffer. Add JPEG 2000 decoder via openjpeg. Add XOR Delta codec.

2018.8.16

Link to libjpeg-turbo. Support Python 2.7 and Visual Studio 2008.

2018.8.10

Initial alpha release. Add LZW, PackBits, PackInts and FloatPred decoders from tifffile.c module. Add JPEG and JPEG XR decoders from czifile.pyx module.
