xrif

A fast, high performance, lossless compression system.

Code documentation is here: https://jaredmales.github.io/xrif-docs/modules.html

Building

Dependencies

The only dependencies are the check unit testing framework and subunit streaming system.

On CentOS:

$ sudo yum install check-devel
$ sudo yum install subunit-devel

On Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get install check

Configure, Make, and Install

For a standard posix system, you should only need to do these steps:

$ mkdir build 
$ cd build 
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make test
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig

Basic Usage

The below code shows the steps needed to initialize an xrif handle and use it to compress a cube of images.

int16_t * source_data;
// ... allocate and populate source_data with `planes` images of size `rows X cols`

xrif_t xrif;
xrif_error_t rv;
rv = xrif_new(&xrif);

rv = xrif_set_size(xrif, rows, cols, 1, planes, XRIF_TYPECODE_INT16); // For a cube with `planes` images of size `rows X cols` of type `int16_t`

rv = xrif_allocate(xrif);

memcpy( xrif->raw, source_data, rows*cols*planes*sizeof(int16_t));

rv = xrif_encode(xrif);

rv = xrif_decode(xrif);

memcpy(source_data, xrif->raw, rows*cols*planes*sizeof(int16_t));

The library provides ways to use source_data directly (avoiding the memcpy), and control over which algorithms are used at each step of the compression.

Note that only int16 monochrome images are fully supported at this time.

Header Format

Field Bytes value
0 0-3 'x' 'r' 'i' 'f' [magic number]
1 4-7 uint32_t version number of xrif protocol
2 8-11 uint32_t total size of header [offset to beginning of data, minimum is 48]
3 12-15 uint32_t width of a frame
4 16-19 uint32_t height of a frame
5 20-23 uint32_t depth of a frame [allows cubes, IFU spectra, etc]
6 24-27 uint32_t number of frames
7 28-29 uint16_t typecode [is uint8_t in struct, but alignment]
7 30-31 uint16_t difference method
8 32-33 uint16_t reorder method
9 34-35 uint16_t compression method
10 36-39 uint32_t size of compressed data
10 40-47 Reserved, used for method specific parameters.

The current version is 0

The size of the data is specified by width X height X depth X xrif_typesize(typecode) X frames

Difference method can be:

Val. Meaning
0 none
100 w.r.t. previous frame
200 w.r.t. first frame

Reorder method can be:

Val. Meaning
0 none
100 bytepack
200 bytepack-renibble
300 bitpack [warning: bitpack is broken, do not use]

Compression method can be:

Val. Meaning
0 none
100 LZ4

If Compression method is LZ4 then bytes 40-41 are uint16_t containing the lz4_acceleration parameter.
