|
||||
copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
|
||||
(an example is provided in the Appendix below).
|
||||
|
||||
"Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
|
||||
form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
|
||||
editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
|
||||
represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
|
||||
of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
|
||||
separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
|
||||
the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
|
||||
|
||||
"Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
|
||||
the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions

to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
|
||||
submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
|
||||
or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
|
||||
the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
|
||||
means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
|
||||
to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
|
||||
communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
|
||||
and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the

on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
|
||||
subsequently incorporated within the Work.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
||||
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
||||
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
||||
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
|
||||
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
|
||||
Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|

||||
(except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
|
||||
use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
|
||||
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
|
||||
by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
||||
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
|
||||
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
|
||||
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
||||
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
||||
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
||||
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
||||
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
||||
as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
|
||||
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
|
||||
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
|
||||
meet the following conditions:
|
||||
|
||||
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
||||
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
||||
|
||||
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
|
||||
stating that You changed the files; and
|
||||
|
||||
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
||||
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
||||
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
||||
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
|
||||
the Derivative Works; and
|
||||
|
||||
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
||||
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
||||
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
||||
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
||||
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
||||
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
|
||||
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
||||
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
||||
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
||||
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
|
||||
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
|
||||
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
|
||||
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
|
||||
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
|
||||
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
|
||||
as modifying the License.
|
||||
|
||||
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
|
||||
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
|
||||
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
||||
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
||||
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
||||
the conditions stated in this License.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
||||
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
||||
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
||||
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
||||
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
||||
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
||||
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
||||
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
||||
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
||||
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
||||
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
||||
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
||||
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
||||
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
||||
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
||||
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
||||
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
||||
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
||||
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
||||
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
||||
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
||||
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
||||
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
||||
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
||||
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
||||
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
||||
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
||||
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
||||
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
||||
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
||||
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
||||
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
||||
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
||||
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
||||
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
||||
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
||||
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
OVERVIEW
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
This package contains C software to implement JPEG image encoding, decoding,
|
||||
and transcoding. JPEG (pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized compression
|
||||
method for full-color and gray-scale images.
|
||||
|
||||
This software implements JPEG baseline, extended-sequential, and progressive
|
||||
compression processes. Provision is made for supporting all variants of these
|
||||
processes, although some uncommon parameter settings aren't implemented yet.
|
||||
We have made no provision for supporting the hierarchical or lossless
|
||||
processes defined in the standard.
|
||||
|
||||
We provide a set of library routines for reading and writing JPEG image files,
|
||||
plus two sample applications "cjpeg" and "djpeg", which use the library to
|
||||
perform conversion between JPEG and some other popular image file formats.
|
||||
The library is intended to be reused in other applications.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to support file conversion and viewing software, we have included
|
||||
considerable functionality beyond the bare JPEG coding/decoding capability;
|
||||
for example, the color quantization modules are not strictly part of JPEG
|
||||
decoding, but they are essential for output to colormapped file formats or
|
||||
colormapped displays. These extra functions can be compiled out of the
|
||||
library if not required for a particular application.
|
||||
|
||||
We have also included "jpegtran", a utility for lossless transcoding between
|
||||
different JPEG processes, and "rdjpgcom" and "wrjpgcom", two simple
|
||||
applications for inserting and extracting textual comments in JFIF files.
|
||||
|
||||
The emphasis in designing this software has been on achieving portability and
|
||||
flexibility, while also making it fast enough to be useful. In particular,
|
||||
the software is not intended to be read as a tutorial on JPEG. (See the
|
||||
REFERENCES section for introductory material.) Rather, it is intended to
|
||||
be reliable, portable, industrial-strength code. We do not claim to have
|
||||
achieved that goal in every aspect of the software, but we strive for it.
|
||||
|
||||
We welcome the use of this software as a component of commercial products.
|
||||
No royalty is required, but we do ask for an acknowledgement in product
|
||||
documentation, as described under LEGAL ISSUES.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
LEGAL ISSUES
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
In plain English:
|
||||
|
||||
1. We don't promise that this software works. (But if you find any bugs,
|
||||
please let us know!)
|
||||
2. You can use this software for whatever you want. You don't have to pay us.
|
||||
3. You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it in a
|
||||
program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that
|
||||
you've used the IJG code.
|
||||
|
||||
In legalese:
|
||||
|
||||
The authors make NO WARRANTY or representation, either express or implied,
|
||||
with respect to this software, its quality, accuracy, merchantability, or
|
||||
fitness for a particular purpose. This software is provided "AS IS", and you,
|
||||
its user, assume the entire risk as to its quality and accuracy.
|
||||
|
||||
This software is copyright (C) 1991-2010, Thomas G. Lane, Guido Vollbeding.
|
||||
All Rights Reserved except as specified below.
|
||||
|
||||
Permission is hereby granted to use, copy, modify, and distribute this
|
||||
software (or portions thereof) for any purpose, without fee, subject to these
|
||||
conditions:
|
||||
(1) If any part of the source code for this software is distributed, then this
|
||||
README file must be included, with this copyright and no-warranty notice
|
||||
unaltered; and any additions, deletions, or changes to the original files
|
||||
must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation.
|
||||
(2) If only executable code is distributed, then the accompanying
|
||||
documentation must state that "this software is based in part on the work of
|
||||
the Independent JPEG Group".
|
||||
(3) Permission for use of this software is granted only if the user accepts
|
||||
full responsibility for any undesirable consequences; the authors accept
|
||||
NO LIABILITY for damages of any kind.
|
||||
|
||||
These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the IJG code,
|
||||
not just to the unmodified library. If you use our work, you ought to
|
||||
acknowledge us.
|
||||
|
||||
Permission is NOT granted for the use of any IJG author's name or company name
|
||||
in advertising or publicity relating to this software or products derived from
|
||||
it. This software may be referred to only as "the Independent JPEG Group's
|
||||
software".
|
||||
|
||||
We specifically permit and encourage the use of this software as the basis of
|
||||
commercial products, provided that all warranty or liability claims are
|
||||
assumed by the product vendor.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by permission of L. Peter Deutsch,
|
||||
sole proprietor of its copyright holder, Aladdin Enterprises of Menlo Park, CA.
|
||||
ansi2knr.c is NOT covered by the above copyright and conditions, but instead
|
||||
by the usual distribution terms of the Free Software Foundation; principally,
|
||||
that you must include source code if you redistribute it. (See the file
|
||||
ansi2knr.c for full details.) However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part
|
||||
of any program generated from the IJG code, this does not limit you more than
|
||||
the foregoing paragraphs do.
|
||||
|
||||
The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf.
|
||||
It is copyright by the Free Software Foundation but is freely distributable.
|
||||
The same holds for its supporting scripts (config.guess, config.sub,
|
||||
ltmain.sh). Another support script, install-sh, is copyright by X Consortium
|
||||
but is also freely distributable.
|
||||
|
||||
The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files.
|
||||
To avoid entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has
|
||||
been removed altogether, and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce
|
||||
"uncompressed GIFs". This technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the
|
||||
resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but are readable by all standard
|
||||
GIF decoders.
|
||||
|
||||
We are required to state that
|
||||
"The Graphics Interchange Format(c) is the Copyright property of
|
||||
CompuServe Incorporated. GIF(sm) is a Service Mark property of
|
||||
CompuServe Incorporated."
|

REFERENCES
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend reading one or more of these references before trying to
|
||||
understand the innards of the JPEG software.
|
||||
|
||||
The best short technical introduction to the JPEG compression algorithm is
|
||||
Wallace, Gregory K. "The JPEG Still Picture Compression Standard",
|
||||
Communications of the ACM, April 1991 (vol. 34 no. 4), pp. 30-44.
|
||||
(Adjacent articles in that issue discuss MPEG motion picture compression,
|
||||
applications of JPEG, and related topics.) If you don't have the CACM issue
|
||||
handy, a PostScript file containing a revised version of Wallace's article is
|
||||
available at http://www.ijg.org/files/wallace.ps.gz. The file (actually
|
||||
a preprint for an article that appeared in IEEE Trans. Consumer Electronics)
|
||||
omits the sample images that appeared in CACM, but it includes corrections
|
||||
and some added material. Note: the Wallace article is copyright ACM and IEEE,
|
||||
and it may not be used for commercial purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
A somewhat less technical, more leisurely introduction to JPEG can be found in
|
||||
"The Data Compression Book" by Mark Nelson and Jean-loup Gailly, published by
|
||||
M&T Books (New York), 2nd ed. 1996, ISBN 1-55851-434-1. This book provides
|
||||
good explanations and example C code for a multitude of compression methods
|
||||
including JPEG. It is an excellent source if you are comfortable reading C
|
||||
code but don't know much about data compression in general. The book's JPEG
|
||||
sample code is far from industrial-strength, but when you are ready to look
|
||||
at a full implementation, you've got one here...
|
||||
|
||||
The best currently available description of JPEG is the textbook "JPEG Still
|
||||
Image Data Compression Standard" by William B. Pennebaker and Joan L.
|
||||
Mitchell, published by Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1993, ISBN 0-442-01272-1.
|
||||
Price US$59.95, 638 pp. The book includes the complete text of the ISO JPEG
|
||||
standards (DIS 10918-1 and draft DIS 10918-2).
|
||||
Although this is by far the most detailed and comprehensive exposition of
|
||||
JPEG publicly available, we point out that it is still missing an explanation
|
||||
of the most essential properties and algorithms of the underlying DCT
|
||||
technology.
|
||||
If you think that you know about DCT-based JPEG after reading this book,
|
||||
then you are in delusion. The real fundamentals and corresponding potential
|
||||
of DCT-based JPEG are not publicly known so far, and that is the reason for
|
||||
all the mistaken developments taking place in the image coding domain.
|
||||
|
||||
The original JPEG standard is divided into two parts, Part 1 being the actual
|
||||
specification, while Part 2 covers compliance testing methods. Part 1 is
|
||||
titled "Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous-tone Still Images,
|
||||
Part 1: Requirements and guidelines" and has document numbers ISO/IEC IS
|
||||
10918-1, ITU-T T.81. Part 2 is titled "Digital Compression and Coding of
|
||||
Continuous-tone Still Images, Part 2: Compliance testing" and has document
|

numbers ISO/IEC IS 10918-2, ITU-T T.83.
|
||||
IJG JPEG 8 introduces an implementation of the JPEG SmartScale extension
|
||||
which is specified in a contributed document at ITU and ISO with title "ITU-T
|
||||
JPEG-Plus Proposal for Extending ITU-T T.81 for Advanced Image Coding", April
|
||||
2006, Geneva, Switzerland. The latest version of the document is Revision 3.
|
||||
|
||||
The JPEG standard does not specify all details of an interchangeable file
|
||||
format. For the omitted details we follow the "JFIF" conventions, revision
|
||||
1.02. JFIF 1.02 has been adopted as an Ecma International Technical Report
|
||||
and thus received a formal publication status. It is available as a free
|
||||
download in PDF format from
|
||||
http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/techreports/E-TR-098.htm.
|
||||
A PostScript version of the JFIF document is available at
|
||||
http://www.ijg.org/files/jfif.ps.gz. There is also a plain text version at
|
||||
http://www.ijg.org/files/jfif.txt.gz, but it is missing the figures.
|
||||
|
||||
The TIFF 6.0 file format specification can be obtained by FTP from
|
||||
ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/TIFF6.ps.gz. The JPEG incorporation scheme
|
||||
found in the TIFF 6.0 spec of 3-June-92 has a number of serious problems.
|
||||
IJG does not recommend use of the TIFF 6.0 design (TIFF Compression tag 6).
|
||||
Instead, we recommend the JPEG design proposed by TIFF Technical Note #2
|
||||
(Compression tag 7). Copies of this Note can be obtained from
|
||||
http://www.ijg.org/files/. It is expected that the next revision
|
||||
of the TIFF spec will replace the 6.0 JPEG design with the Note's design.
|
||||
Although IJG's own code does not support TIFF/JPEG, the free libtiff library
|
||||
uses our library to implement TIFF/JPEG per the Note.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Thank to Juergen Bruder for providing me with a copy of the common DCT
|
||||
algorithm article, only to find out that I had come to the same result
|
||||
in a more direct and comprehensible way with a more generative approach.
|
||||
|
||||
Thank to Istvan Sebestyen and Joan L. Mitchell for inviting me to the
|
||||
ITU JPEG (Study Group 16) meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
|
||||
|
||||
Thank to Thomas Wiegand and Gary Sullivan for inviting me to the
|
||||
Joint Video Team (MPEG & ITU) meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
|
||||
|
||||
Thank to John Korejwa and Massimo Ballerini for inviting me to
|
||||
fruitful consultations in Boston, MA and Milan, Italy.
|
||||
|
||||
Thank to Hendrik Elstner, Roland Fassauer, Simone Zuck, Guenther
|
||||
Maier-Gerber, and Walter Stoeber for corresponding business development.
|
||||
|
||||
Thank to Nico Zschach and Dirk Stelling of the technical support team
|
||||
at the Digital Images company in Halle for providing me with extra
|
||||
equipment for configuration tests.
|
||||
|
||||
Thank to Richard F. Lyon (then of Foveon Inc.) for fruitful
|
||||
communication about JPEG configuration in Sigma Photo Pro software.
|
||||
|
||||
Thank to Andrew Finkenstadt for hosting the ijg.org site.
|
||||
|
||||
Last but not least special thank to Thomas G. Lane for the original
|
||||
design and development of this singular software package.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
FILE FORMAT WARS
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
The ISO JPEG standards committee actually promotes different formats like
|
||||
"JPEG 2000" or "JPEG XR" which are incompatible with original DCT-based
|
||||
JPEG and which are based on faulty technologies. IJG therefore does not
|
||||
and will not support such momentary mistakes (see REFERENCES).
|
||||
We have little or no sympathy for the promotion of these formats. Indeed,
|
||||
one of the original reasons for developing this free software was to help
|
||||
force convergence on common, interoperable format standards for JPEG files.
|
||||
Don't use an incompatible file format!
|
||||
(In any case, our decoder will remain capable of reading existing JPEG
|
||||
image files indefinitely.)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
TO DO
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
Version 8 is the first release of a new generation JPEG standard
|
||||
to overcome the limitations of the original JPEG specification.
|
||||
More features are being prepared for coming releases...
|
||||
|
||||
