JS/WebAssembly build of CharLS
Try it in your browser here
Install this in your JavaScript project using npm:
# NOTE - this is not published yet so won't work yet...
#npm install --save-dev charls-js
Before using this library, you must wait for it to be initialized:
const charls = require('charlsjs')
charls.onRuntimeInitialized = async _ => {
// Now you can use it
}
To decode a JPEG-LS image, create a decoder instance, copy the JPEG-LS bitstream into its memory space, decode it, copy the decoded pixels out of its memory space and finally, delete the decoder instance.
function decode(jpeglsEncodedBitStream) {
// Create a decoder instance
const decoder = new charls.JpegLSDecoder();
// get pointer to the source/encoded bit stream buffer in WASM memory
// that can hold the encoded bitstream
const encodedBufferInWASM = decoder.getEncodedBuffer(jpeglsEncodedBitStream.length);
// copy the encoded bitstream into WASM memory buffer
encodedBufferInWASM.set(jpeglsEncodedBitStream);
// decode it
decoder.decode();
// get information about the decoded image
const frameInfo = decoder.getFrameInfo();
const interleaveMode = decoder.getInterleaveMode();
const nearLossless = decoder.getNearLossless();
// get the decoded pixels
const decodedPixelsInWASM = decoder.getDecodedBuffer();
// TODO: do something with the decoded pixels here (e.g. display them)
// The pixel arrangement for color images varies depending upon the
// interleaveMode parameter, see documentation in JpegLSDecode::getInterleaveMode()
// delete the instance. Note that this frees up memory including the
// encodedBufferInWASM and decodedPixelsInWASM invalidating them.
// Do not use either after calling delete!
decoder.delete();
}
const jpeglsEncodedBitStream = // read from file, load from URL, etc
decode(jpeglsEncodedBitStream)
See examples for browsers and nodejs. Also read the API documentation for JpegLSDecoder.hpp and JpegLSEncoder.hpp
