Detailed Description

PCL-LZF image format writer.

The PCL-LZF image format is nothing else but a LZF-modified compression over an existing file type (e.g., PNG). However, in certain situations, like RGB data for example, an [RGBRGB...RGB] array will be first reordered into [RR...RGG...GBB...B] in order to ensure better compression.

The current list of compressors/decompressors include:

  • LZF compressed 24-bit [RR...RGG...GBB...B] data
  • LZF compressed 8-bit Bayer data
  • LZF compressed 16-bit YUV422 data
  • LZF compressed 16-bit depth data

Please note that files found using the above mentioned extensions will be treated as such. Inherit from this class and overwrite the I/O methods if you plan to change this behavior.

The main advantage of using the PCL-LZF image I/O routines is a very good file size versus I/O speed ratio. Tests performed using LZF, Snappy, ZIP, GZ2, BZIP2, as well as PNG, JPEG, and TIFF compression have shown that the internal PCL LZF methods provide the best score for the types of applications PCL is suited for.

compress()

std::uint32_t pcl::io::LZFImageWriter::compress ( const char * input,
std::uint32_t input_size,
std::uint32_t width,
std::uint32_t height,
const std::string & image_type,
char * output
)
protected

Realtime LZF compression.

Parameters
[in] input the array to compress
[in] input_size the size of the array to compress
[in] width the with of the data array
[in] height the height of the data array
[in] image_type the type of the image to save. This should be an up to 16 characters string describing the data type. Examples are: "bayer8", "rgb24", "yuv422", "depth16".
[out] output the compressed output array (must be pre-allocated!)
Returns
the number of bytes in the output array

saveImageBlob()

Parameters
[in] data the data to save
[in] data_size the size of the data
[in] filename the file name to write the data to
Returns
true if operation successful, false otherwise

write() [1/2]

const std::string & filename_xml
)
inlinevirtual

Save an image and its camera parameters into PCL-LZF format.

Parameters
[in] data the array holding the image
[in] width the with of the data array
[in] height the height of the data array
[in] parameters the camera parameters
[in] filename_data the file name to write the data to
[in] filename_xml the file name to write the parameters to
Returns
true if operation successful, false otherwise

write() [2/2]

virtual bool pcl::io::LZFImageWriter::write ( const char * data,
std::uint32_t width,
std::uint32_t height,
const std::string & filename
)
pure virtual

Save an image into PCL-LZF format.

Virtual.

Parameters
[in] data the array holding the image
[in] width the with of the data array
[in] height the height of the data array
[in] filename the file name to write
Returns
true if operation successful, false otherwise

Implemented in pcl::io::LZFBayer8ImageWriter, pcl::io::LZFYUV422ImageWriter, pcl::io::LZFRGB24ImageWriter, and pcl::io::LZFDepth16ImageWriter.

writeParameter()

bool pcl::io::LZFImageWriter::writeParameter ( const double & parameter,

const std::string & filename
)

Write a single image/camera parameter to file, given an XML tag.

Parameters
[in] parameter the value of the parameter to write
[in] tag the value of the XML tag
[in] filename the file name to write
Returns
true if operation successful, false otherwise Example:
pcl::io::LZFDepthImageWriter w;
w.writeParameter (0.001, "depth.multiplication_factor", "parameters.xml");
