StdQuantizer Class

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).

       <p>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.</p><p>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:</p><p>M = G + Rq -1</p><p>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).</p><p>The blocks of data that are requested should not cross subband
       boundaries.</p>

Constructors

Name Description

Name	Description
StdQuantizer(CBlkWTDataSrc, EncoderSpecs)	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. `<p>After initializing member attributes, getAnSubbandTree is called for all components setting the 'stepWMSE' for all subbands in the current tile.</p>`

StdQuantizer(CBlkWTDataSrc, EncoderSpecs)

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.

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

Fields

Name	Description
QSTEP_EXPONENT_BITS	The number of exponent bits for the quantization steps
QSTEP_MANTISSA_BITS	The number of mantissa bits for the quantization steps
QSTEP_MAX_EXPONENT	The maximum value of the exponent for the quantization steps
QSTEP_MAX_MANTISSA	The maximum value of the mantissa for the quantization steps

Properties

Name	Description
QuantTypeSpec	Returns the quantization type spec object associated to the quantizer.

Methods

Name	Description
calcSbParams(SubbandAn, int)	Calculates the parameters of the SubbandAn objects that depend on the Quantizer. The 'stepWMSE' field is calculated for each subband which is a leaf in the tree rooted at 'sb', for the specified component. The subband tree 'sb' must be the one for the component 'n'.
convertToExpMantissa(float)	Converts the floating point value to its exponent-mantissa representation. The mantissa occupies the 11 least significant bits (bits 10-0), and the exponent the previous 5 bits (bits 15-11).
getMaxMagBits(int)	Returns the maximum number of magnitude bits in any subband of the current tile.
getNextCodeBlock(int, CBlkWTData)	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'. <p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p>
getNextInternCodeBlock(int, CBlkWTData)	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'. <p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p>
getNumGuardBits(int, int)	Returns the number of guard bits used by this quantizer in the given tile-component.
isDerived(int, int)	Returns true if given tile-component uses derived quantization step sizes.
isReversible(int, int)	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.
