Class StdQuantizer

All Implemented Interfaces:
ImgData, CBlkQuantDataSrcEnc, ForwWTDataProps

public class StdQuantizer extends Quantizer
This class implements scalar quantization of integer or floating-point valued source data. The source data is the wavelet transformed image data and the output is the quantized wavelet coefficients represented in sign-magnitude (see below).

Sign magnitude representation is used (instead of two's complement) for the output data. The most significant bit is used for the sign (0 if positive, 1 if negative). Then the magnitude of the quantized coefficient is stored in the next M most significat bits. The rest of the bits (least significant bits) can contain a fractional value of the quantized coefficient. This fractional value is not to be coded by the entropy coder. However, it can be used to compute rate-distortion measures with greater precision.

The value of M is determined for each subband as the sum of the number of guard bits G and the nominal range of quantized wavelet coefficients in the corresponding subband (Rq), minus 1:

M = G + Rq -1

The value of G should be the same for all subbands. The value of Rq depends on the quantization step size, the nominal range of the component before the wavelet transform and the analysis gain of the subband (see Subband).

The blocks of data that are requested should not cross subband boundaries.

  • Constructor Details

    • StdQuantizer

      public StdQuantizer(CBlkWTDataSrc src, J2KImageWriteParamJava wp)
      Initializes the source of wavelet transform coefficients. The constructor takes information on whether the quantizer is in reversible, derived or expounded mode. If the quantizer is reversible the value of 'derived' is ignored. If the source data is not integer (int) then the quantizer can not be reversible.

      After initializing member attributes, getAnSubbandTree is called for all components setting the 'stepWMSE' for all subbands in the current tile.

      Parameters:
      src - The source of wavelet transform coefficients.
      wp - The encoder parameters

      public QuantTypeSpec getQuantTypeSpec()
      Returns the quantization type spec object associated to the quantizer.
      Returns:
      The quantization type spec
    • getNumGuardBits

      public int getNumGuardBits(int t, int c)
      Returns the number of guard bits used by this quantizer in the given tile-component.
      Specified by:
      getNumGuardBits in class Quantizer
      Parameters:
      t - Tile index
      c - Component index
      Returns:
      The number of guard bits
    • isReversible

      public boolean isReversible(int t, int c)
      Returns true if the quantized data is reversible, for the specified tile-component. For the quantized data to be reversible it is necessary and sufficient that the quantization is reversible.
      Parameters:
      t - The tile to test for reversibility
      c - The component to test for reversibility
      Returns:
      True if the quantized data is reversible, false if not.
    • isDerived

      public boolean isDerived(int t, int c)
      Returns true if given tile-component uses derived quantization step sizes.
      Specified by:
      isDerived in class Quantizer
      Parameters:
      t - Tile index
      c - Component index
      Returns:
      True if derived
    • getNextCodeBlock

      public CBlkWTData getNextCodeBlock(int c, CBlkWTData cblk)
      Returns the next code-block in the current tile for the specified component, as a copy (see below). The order in which code-blocks are returned is not specified. However each code-block is returned only once and all code-blocks will be returned if the method is called 'N' times, where 'N' is the number of code-blocks in the tile. After all the code-blocks have been returned for the current tile calls to this method will return 'null'.

      When changing the current tile (through 'setTile()' or 'nextTile()') this method will always return the first code-block, as if this method was never called before for the new current tile.

      The data returned by this method is always a copy of the data. Therfore it can be modified "in place" without any problems after being returned. The 'offset' of the returned data is 0, and the 'scanw' is the same as the code-block width. See the 'CBlkWTData' class.

      The 'ulx' and 'uly' members of the returned 'CBlkWTData' object contain the coordinates of the top-left corner of the block, with respect to the tile, not the subband.

      Parameters:
      c - The component for which to return the next code-block.
      cblk - If non-null this object will be used to return the new code-block. If null a new one will be allocated and returned. If the "data" array of the object is non-null it will be reused, if possible, to return the data.
      Returns:
      The next code-block in the current tile for component 'n', or null if all code-blocks for the current tile have been returned.
      See Also:
    • getNextInternCodeBlock

      public final CBlkWTData getNextInternCodeBlock(int c, CBlkWTData cblk)
      Returns the next code-block in the current tile for the specified component. The order in which code-blocks are returned is not specified. However each code-block is returned only once and all code-blocks will be returned if the method is called 'N' times, where 'N' is the number of code-blocks in the tile. After all the code-blocks have been returned for the current tile calls to this method will return 'null'.

      When changing the current tile (through 'setTile()' or 'nextTile()') this method will always return the first code-block, as if this method was never called before for the new current tile.

      The data returned by this method can be the data in the internal buffer of this object, if any, and thus can not be modified by the caller. The 'offset' and 'scanw' of the returned data can be arbitrary. See the 'CBlkWTData' class.

      The 'ulx' and 'uly' members of the returned 'CBlkWTData' object contain the coordinates of the top-left corner of the block, with respect to the tile, not the subband.

      Parameters:
      c - The component for which to return the next code-block.
      cblk - If non-null this object will be used to return the new code-block. If null a new one will be allocated and returned. If the "data" array of the object is non-null it will be reused, if possible, to return the data.
      Returns:
      The next code-block in the current tile for component 'n', or null if all code-blocks for the current tile have been returned.
