using jpeglib for JPEG compressed byte stream

Question

Hello all,

I have JPEG compressed byte stream stored in a variable called "Image" and I want to convert this byte stream to RGB.

Eg: unsigned char *Image;

My question is: Is there any way to pass "Image" to jpeg_stdio_src() to get the RGB color values?

Can anyone tell me how I could use jpeglib library to get RGB from byte stream "Image"?

Thank you

Try something like this. This uses an object currImage to store the results (not declared here).

typedef struct {
  struct jpeg_source_mgr pub;   // public fields

  JOCTET * buffer;              // start of buffer
  boolean start_of_file;        // have we gotten any data yet?
} my_source_mgr;

typedef my_source_mgr * my_src_ptr;

static void jpg_memInitSource(j_decompress_ptr cinfo)
{
  my_src_ptr src = (my_src_ptr) cinfo->src;
  src->start_of_file = true;
}

static boolean jpg_memFillInputBuffer(j_decompress_ptr cinfo)
{
  my_src_ptr src = (my_src_ptr) cinfo->src;
  src->start_of_file = FALSE;
  return TRUE;
}

static void jpg_memSkipInputData(j_decompress_ptr cinfo, long num_bytes)
{
  my_src_ptr src = (my_src_ptr) cinfo->src;
  if (num_bytes > 0) {
    src->pub.next_input_byte += (size_t) num_bytes;
    src->pub.bytes_in_buffer -= (size_t) num_bytes;
  }
}

static void jpg_memTermSource(j_decompress_ptr cinfo)
{
  // no work necessary here
}

void decompressJpeg(uint8 const *compressed, size_t len)
{
  struct jpeg_decompress_struct cinfo;
  struct jpeg_error_mgr         jerr;
  my_src_ptr src;

  // ToDo: change error handling to work with our return codes
  cinfo.err = jpeg_std_error(&jerr);
  jpeg_create_decompress(&cinfo);

  cinfo.src = (struct jpeg_source_mgr *)
    (*cinfo.mem->alloc_small) ((j_common_ptr) &cinfo, JPOOL_PERMANENT,
    sizeof(my_source_mgr));
  src = (my_src_ptr) cinfo.src;
  src->buffer = (JOCTET *)compressed;

  src->pub.init_source = jpg_memInitSource;
  src->pub.fill_input_buffer = jpg_memFillInputBuffer;
  src->pub.skip_input_data = jpg_memSkipInputData;
  src->pub.resync_to_restart = jpeg_resync_to_restart;
  src->pub.term_source = jpg_memTermSource;
  src->pub.bytes_in_buffer = len;
  src->pub.next_input_byte = compressed;

  jpeg_read_header(&cinfo, true);
  jpeg_start_decompress(&cinfo);

  // check: cinfo.out_color_space == JCS_RGB

  currImage.setSize(
    (int)cinfo.output_width, (int)cinfo.output_height));

  size_t w = currImage.getWidth() * 3;
  uint8 *p = (uint8*)currImage.getPixels();
  while (cinfo.output_scanline < cinfo.output_height) {
    jpeg_read_scanlines(&cinfo, &p, 1);
    p += w;
  }

  jpeg_finish_decompress(&cinfo); // Do this even under error conditions
  jpeg_destroy_decompress(&cinfo); // Do this even under error conditions
}

EDIT: Added some of the missing support code. Thanks, Edu Filipe!

I am getting the errors below.

classifier.c:190: error: ‘my_source_mgr’ has no member named ‘buffer’

classifier.c:192: error: ‘jpg_memInitSource’ undeclared (first use in this function)

classifier.c:192: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

classifier.c:192: error: for each function it appears in.)

classifier.c:193: error: ‘jpg_memFillInputBuffer’ undeclared (first use in this function)

classifier.c:194: error: ‘jpg_memSkipInputData’ undeclared (first use in this function)

classifier.c:228: error: ‘row_pointer’ undeclared (first use in this function)

classifier.c:234: error: ‘location’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Do I have to include some other library to fix this issue other than jpeglib.h?
