Class Quantizer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Direct Known Subclasses:

StdQuantizer

public abstract class Quantizer
extends ImgDataAdapter
implements CBlkQuantDataSrcEnc

This abstract class provides the general interface for quantizers. The input of a quantizer is the output of a wavelet transform. The output of the quantizer is the set of quantized wavelet coefficients represented in sign-magnitude notation (see below).

This class provides default implementation for most of the methods (wherever it makes sense), under the assumption that the image, component dimensions, and the tiles, are not modifed by the quantizer. If it is not the case for a particular implementation, then the methods should be overriden.

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.

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:

M = G + Rq -1

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).

The blocks of data that are requested should not cross subband boundaries.

NOTE: At the moment only quantizers that implement the 'CBlkQuantDataSrcEnc' interface are supported.

Constructor Detail

Quantizer

public Quantizer(CBlkWTDataSrc src)

Initializes the source of wavelet transform coefficients.

Parameters:

src - The source of wavelet transform coefficients.

Method Detail

getNumGuardBits

public abstract int getNumGuardBits(int t,
                  int c)

Returns the number of guard bits used by this quantizer in the given tile-component.

Parameters:

t - Tile index

c - Component index

Returns:

The number of guard bits

isDerived

public abstract boolean isDerived(int t,
                int c)

Returns true if the quantizer of given tile-component uses derived quantization step sizes.

Parameters:

t - Tile index

calcSbParams

protected abstract void calcSbParams(SubbandAn sb,
                int n)

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'.

Parameters:

sb - The root of the subband tree.

n - The component index.

                         int c)

Returns a reference to the subband tree structure representing the subband decomposition for the specified tile-component.

This method gets the subband tree from the source and then calculates the magnitude bits for each leaf using the method calcSbParams().

Specified by:

Parameters:

t - The index of the tile.

c - The index of the component.

Returns:
