dcmjpls: a compression/decompression library and utility apps

This module contains classes that convert between uncompressed and JPEG-LS compressed representations (transfer syntaxes) of a DICOM image object. Both lossless and near-lossless JPEG-LS processes are supported. This module implements a family of codecs that are derived from class DcmCodec and can be registered in the codec list maintained in module dcmdata.

The main interface classes are:

- DJLSEncoderRegistration
- DJLSDecoderRegistration
- DJLSEncoderBase
- DJLSDecoderBase

# Tools

This module contains the following command line tools:

- dcmcjpls: Encode DICOM file to JPEG-LS transfer syntax
- dcmdjpls: Decode JPEG-LS compressed DICOM file
- dcml2pnm: Convert DICOM images to PGM/PPM, PNG, TIFF or BMP

# Examples

The following example shows how to compress a DICOM image file with lossless JPEG-LS:

DJLSEncoderRegistration::registerCodecs(); // register JPEG-LS codecs
DcmFileFormat fileformat;
if (fileformat.loadFile("test.dcm").good())
{
DcmDataset *dataset = fileformat.getDataset();
DcmItem *metaInfo = fileformat.getMetaInfo();
DJLSRepresentationParameter rp(0, OFTrue); // parameters for lossless
// this causes the lossless JPEG-LS version of the dataset to be created
dataset->chooseRepresentation(EXS_JPEGLSLossless, &params);
// check if everything went well
if (dataset->canWriteXfer(EXS_JPEGLSLossless))
{
// store in lossless JPEG-LS format
fileformat.saveFile("test_jpls.dcm", EXS_JPEGLSLossless);
}
}
DJLSEncoderRegistration::cleanup(); // deregister JPEG-LS codecs
DJLSEncoderRegistration::cleanup
static void cleanup()
deregisters encoders.

# Legal Remark

Please note that Hewlett Packard claims to own patents that apply to JPEG-LS. Hewlett Packard grants free licenses for conformant implementations of JPEG-LS. OFFIS as the author of the DCMTK toolkit has obtained such a license, but depending on your national legislations companies that use DCMTK's JPEG-LS codec may need to also acquire a license.
