Introduction

openHTJS is a JavaScript library for decoding HT codestreams. HT codestreams are JPEG 2000 codestreams that use the ultra-fast block decoder specified in Rec. ITU-T T.814 | ISO/IEC 15444-15.

It is built on top of the OpenJPH library, which it compiles to JavaScript using Emscripten. It is heavily inspired by the openjphjs project.

Known issues and limitations

Bugs are tracked at https://github.com/sandflow/openhtjs/issues.

Dependencies

openHTJS does not depend on external libraries. It requires support for WebAssembly and ES6 modules.

Quick start

See src/test/site for an example that fetches a codestream and decodes into a Canvas element.

API

General

HT.js is an ES6 module that exposes a single Decoder class:

import {Decoder} from "./HT.js"

For each codestream, the overall call flow is as follows:

a Decoder() is instantiated
the codestream is written into the buffer returned by Decoder::getCodestreamBuffer()
the codestream header is parsed using Decoder::readHeader()
...
the codestream is decoded either:
- line by line by calling Decoder::startDecoding() followed by multiple calls to Decoder::decodeLineAsUnsignedSamples()
- directly into an RGBA 8-bit buffer using Decoder::decodeToRGBAArray()

Constructor

Decoder(codestreamSize)

codestreamSize is the size of the codestream in bytes that will be decoder. The codestream is not required to be complete.

A Decoder object must instantiated for each codestream to be decoded.

getCodestreamBuffer()

UInt8Array getCodestreamBuffer()

Returns a view to the codestream buffer, which the client must fill with the codestream, e.g.:

let decoder = new Decoder(j2c_bytes.length);
const decoder_buffer = decoder.getCodestreamBuffer();
decoder_buffer.set(j2c_bytes);

readHeader()

readHeader()

Parses the codestream header. Must be called before any method, other than getCodestreamBuffer() is called.

getDecodedImageSize()

Size getDecodedImageSize(int decompositionLevel)

Returns the decoded image size at decomposition level decompositionLevel. decompositionLevel = 0 means the full image resolution.

startDecoding()

Size startDecoding(int decompositionLevel, bool requestPlanar)

Starts the decoding process.

decompositionLevel indicates that the decomposition level to which the image is decoded. decompositionLevel = 0 indicates that the full image is decoded.
requestPlanar indicates whether successive calls to decodeLine* output RRR..., GGG..., BBB..., RRR...,... or RGBRGBRGB..., ... (false). requestPlanar must be true if the encoded image contains any downsampled components, and false if the codestream uses a color transform.

decodeLineAsUnsignedSamples()

UInt32Array decodeLineAsUnsignedSamples()

Decodes a complete line of the image as a sequence of UInt32 values.

decodeToRGBAArray()

decodeToRGBAArray(array_buffer, decompositionLevel = 0)

Decodes the codestream into an RGBA 8-bit packed array buffer.

getDecodedComponentNumber()

int getDecodedComponentNumber()

Returns the index of the component last decoded by decodeLineAsUnsignedSamples(). Can only be called if requestPlanar is true.

getImageInfo()

FrameInfo getImageInfo()

Returns information about the image.

getNumDecompositions()

int getNumDecompositions()

Returns the number of decomposition levels available.

isReversible()

bool isReversible()

Indicates whether the image coding was lossless.

getProgressionOrder()

int getProgressionOrder()

Returns the progression order.

getDownSample()

Point getDownSample(int i)

Returns the horizontal and vertical downsampling factor for the ith component.

getImageOffset()

Point getImageOffset()

Returns the image offset.

isUsingColorTransform()

bool isUsingColorTransform()

Indicates whether the codestream uses color transforms.

isDownsamplingUsed()

bool isDownsamplingUsed()

Indicates whether any component of the codestream is downsampled.

Size

struct Size {
    uint32_t width;
    uint32_t height;
}

FrameInfo

struct FrameInfo {
    uint16_t width;
    uint16_t height;
    uint8_t bitsPerSample;
    uint8_t componentCount;
    bool isSigned;
}

Point

struct Point {
  uint32_t x;
  uint32_t y;
}
