public class StdEntropyCoder
extends EntropyCoder
implements StdEntropyCoderOptions

This class implements the JPEG 2000 entropy coder, which codes stripes in code-blocks. This entropy coding engine can function in a single-threaded mode where one code-block is encoded at a time, or in a multi-threaded mode where multiple code-blocks are entropy coded in parallel. The interface presented by this class is the same in both modes.

The number of threads used by this entropy coder is specified by the "ucar.jpeg.jj2000.j2k.entropy.encoder.StdEntropyCoder.nthreads" Java system property. If set to "0" the single threaded implementation is used. If set to 'n' ('n' larger than 0) then 'n' extra threads are started by this class which are used to encode the code-blocks in parallel (i.e. ideally 'n' code-blocks will be encoded in parallel at a time). On multiprocessor machines under a "native threads" Java Virtual Machine implementation each one of these threads can run on a separate processor speeding up the encoding time. By default the single-threaded implementation is used. The multi-threaded implementation currently assumes that the vast majority of consecutive calls to 'getNextCodeBlock()' will be done on the same component. If this is not the case, the speed-up that can be expected on multiprocessor machines might be significantly decreased.

The code-blocks are rectangular, with dimensions which must be powers of 2. Each dimension has to be no smaller than 4 and no larger than 256. The product of the two dimensions (i.e. area of the code-block) may not exceed 4096.

Context 0 of the MQ-coder is used as the uniform one (uniform, non-adaptive probability distribution). Context 1 is used for RLC coding. Contexts 2-10 are used for zero-coding (ZC), contexts 11-15 are used for sign-coding (SC) and contexts 16-18 are used for magnitude-refinement (MR).

This implementation buffers the symbols and calls the MQ coder only once per stripe and per coding pass, to reduce the method call overhead.

This implementation also provides some timing features. They can be enabled by setting the 'DO_TIMING' constant of this class to true and recompiling. The timing uses the 'System.currentTimeMillis()' Java API call, which returns wall clock time, not the actual CPU time used. The timing results will be printed on the message output. Since the times reported are wall clock times and not CPU usage times they can not be added to find the total used time (i.e. some time might be counted in several places). When timing is disabled ('DO_TIMING' is false) there is no penalty if the compiler performs some basic optimizations. Even if not the penalty should be negligeable.

The source module must implement the CBlkQuantDataSrcEnc interface and code-block's data is received in a CBlkWTData instance. This modules sends code-block's information in a CBlkRateDistStats instance.

Method Detail

finalize

public void finalize()
              throws Throwable

Prints the timing information, if collected, and calls 'finalize' on the super class.

Overrides:

finalize in class Object

Throws:

Throwable

getCBlkWidth

public int getCBlkWidth(int t,
                        int c)

Returns the code-block width for the specified tile and component.

Specified by:

getCBlkWidth in class EntropyCoder

Parameters:

t - The tile index

c - the component index

Returns:

The code-block width for the specified tile and component

getCBlkHeight

public int getCBlkHeight(int t,
                         int c)

Returns the code-block height for the specified tile and component.

Specified by:

getCBlkHeight in class EntropyCoder

Parameters:

t - The tile index

c - The component index

Returns:

The code-block height for the specified tile and component.

getNextCodeBlock

public CBlkRateDistStats getNextCodeBlock(int c,
                                          CBlkRateDistStats ccb)

Returns the next coded 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'.

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.

The data returned by this method is always a copy of the internal data of this object, if any, and it can be modified "in place" without any problems after being returned.

Specified by:

getNextCodeBlock in interface CodedCBlkDataSrcEnc

Parameters:

c - The component for which to return the next code-block.

ccb - If non-null this object might be used in returning the coded code-block in this or any subsequent call to this method. If null a new one is created and returned. If the 'data' array of 'cbb' is not null it may be reused to return the compressed data.

Returns:

The next coded code-block in the current tile for component 'n', or null if all code-blocks for the current tile have been returned.
