2007.04.11 23:10 "[Tiff] O-JPEG problems", by Mick O'Neill

I have encountered a number of TIFF files that have images in the OJPEG format (type 6), but do not contain the JPEGInterchangeFormat Tag. When this problem was first recognised (about 18 months ago), I was able to put the following modification into the OJepgSetupDecode function to allow for it:

        if (!is_JFIF && !sp->is_WANG) {
                const char *p = tif->tif_rawdata;
                if (memcmp(p, "\xff\xd8\xff\xe0", 4) == 0 && memcmp(p +
6, "JFIF", 4) == 0) {
                        is_JFIF = 1;
                        sp->src.next_input_byte = p;
                        sp->src.bytes_in_buffer = tif->tif_rawdatasize;
                }
        }

This patch gets included after the

    is_JFIF = !sp->is_WANG && TIFFFieldSet(tif,FIELD_JPEGIFOFFSET);

Line in the same function. The patch also required the tif_data memory to be initialised first in the TIFFInitOJEG function:

        memset(tif->tif_data, 0, sizeof(*sp));

After the data is allocated

This all worked fine in LibTIFF version 3.7.4 when I discovered it, but recently porting it to 3.8.2, it no longer completely does the job - the first page of the TIFF file fails, and the rest succeed.

I have uploaded a sample TIFF file to http://midimick.com/temp/TestBig.tif, and also the 3.8.2 modified tiff_ojpeg.c file at http://midimick.com/temp.tif_ojpeg.c. If anyoine can see what it is that has changed between the library versions that has caused this patch to stop working, it would be greatly appreciated (I am going nuts trying to trace through both versions to see where it is going wrong).

Thanks
