jpeg-compressor is a small (~1000 lines), easy to use public domain C++ class in a single source file jpge.cpp that writes baseline JPEG compressed images. It supports grayscale and H1V1/H2V1/H2V2 chroma subsampling factors, Libjpeg-compatible quality settings, and is reasonably fast with fairly low (typically less than 64KB) memory consumption. The core compression class consists of a single 890 line C++ file with a small header, along with a couple optional higher-level helper/example functions. The current release now supports both single pass Huffman coding and more efficient (but slower) two pass coding, makes only a single dynamic memory allocation, and now accepts 32-bit source images.
As an added bonus, the source distribution now also includes an optional, completely stand-alone public domain JPEG decompression class with progressive image support in a single source file jpgd.cpp.
The source distribution includes a sample VS2008/2010 Win32/x64 solution and a Codeblocks v10.05 (MinGW) project.
Thanks to Alex Evans for adding several features to jpge (see a smaller jpg encoder).
Basic Usage (Compression)
Include jpge.h and call one of these helper functions in the "jpge" namespace:
// Writes JPEG image to a file. // num_channels must be 1 (Y), 3 (RGB), or 4 (RGBA), image pitch must be widthnum_channels. bool compress_image_to_jpeg_file(const char pFilename, int width, int height, int num_channels, const uint8 pImage_data, const params &comp_params = params()); // Writes JPEG image to memory buffer. // On entry, buf_size is the size of the output buffer pointed at by pBuf, which should be at least ~1024 bytes. // If return value is true, buf_size will be set to the size of the compressed data. bool compress_image_to_jpeg_file_in_memory(void pBuf, int &buf_size, int width, int height, int num_channels, const uint8 *pImage_data, const params &comp_params = params()); See tga2jpg.cpp for an example usage. This example uses Sean Barrett's stb_image.c module to load image files.
You can also call the jpge::jpeg_encoder class directly if you need more control over the image source or how/where the output stream is written.
Basic Usage (Decompression)
Include jpgd.h and call one of these helper functions in the "jpgd" namespace:
// Loads a JPEG image from a memory buffer. // req_comps can be 1 (grayscale), 3 (RGB), or 4 (RGBA). // On return, width/height will be set to the image's dimensions, and actual_comps will be set // to either 1 (grayscale) or 3 (RGB). unsigned char decompress_jpeg_image_from_memory(const unsigned char pSrc_data, int src_data_size, int width, int height, int actual_comps, int req_comps); // Loads a JPEG image from a file. unsigned char decompress_jpeg_image_from_file(const char pSrc_filename, int width, int height, int actual_comps, int req_comps); Just like the compressor, for more control you can directly utilize the jpgd::jpeg_decompressor class, or call the decompress_jpeg_image_from_stream() function.
jpgd supports a superset of JPEG features utilized by jpge, so it can decompress any file generated by jpge along with most (if not almost all) JPEG files you're likely to encounter in the wild. It supports progressive and baseline sequential JPEG image files and the H1V1, H2V1, H1V2, and H2V2 chroma subsampling factors.
Testing
The source distribution includes a simple example command line tool called "jpge.exe" (or jpge_x64.exe for Win64 systems) that converts images from any format that stb_image.c supports (such as PNG, TGA, BMP, etc.) to baseline JPEG using the jpeg_encoder class. Its usage is: bin/jpge source_file.png destination_file.jpg quality_factor Where quality_factor ranges from 1-100 (higher is better).
jpge.exe also includes a few other modes for exhaustive testing of the codec (-x option) and JPEG to TGA decompression (-d option) -- see the help text for more info.
Revisions
v1.04, May 20, 2012 - Fixed double fclose() bug in cfile_stream::close() reported by Owen Kaluza. (m_pFile should have been set to NULL here. Crap.) Also put jpge.cpp and jpgd.cpp through MSVC 2008's static code analysis and fixed every warning. They where all harmless things, but it's the right thing to do. v1.03, Apr. 16, 2011 - Added jpgd.cpp/.h (derived from my older http://code.google.com/p/jpgd/ project), integrated changes from Alex Evans, added support for two pass compression, added more modes/options and timer to example command line app, lots of testing. v1.02, Apr. 6, 2011 - Removed 2x2 ordered dither in the H2V1 chroma subsampling method jpeg_encoder::load_block_16_8_8(). (This was a last minute addition and there was actually a typo here - the dither rounding factor was 2 when it should have been 1. It turns out that chroma subsample dithering in the H2V1 case typically lowers PSNR even with the intended rounding factor, unlike H2V2.) v1.01, Dec. 18, 2010 - Initial stable release History
This codec was originally written in C and 16-bit x86 asm way back in 1994 for a DOS image viewer. The primary reference was Pennebaker's and Mitchell's book JPEG: Still Image Data Compression Standard. The original version supported a simple form of adaptive quantization, used a quantized DCT, and two pass Huffman coding. Around 2000 I ported it to C++, but I didn't really have the time to release it until now.
