dcmjpeg: a compression/decompression library and utility apps

This module contains classes that convert between uncompressed and JPEG compressed representations (transfer syntaxes) of a DICOM image object. Both lossless and lossy JPEG processes are supported. This module implements a family of codecs that are derived from class DcmCodec and can be registered in the codec list maintained in module dcmdata.

The main interface classes are:

- DJEncoderRegistration
- DJDecoderRegistration
- DJCodecEncoder
- DJCodecDecoder

# Tools

This module contains the following command line tools:

- dcmcjpeg: Encode DICOM file to JPEG transfer syntax
- dcmdjpeg: Decode JPEG-compressed DICOM file
- dcmj2pnm: Convert DICOM images to PGM/PPM, PNG, TIFF, JPEG or BMP
- dcmmkdir: Create a DICOMDIR file

# Examples

The following example shows how to compress a DICOM image file with lossless JPEG:

DJEncoderRegistration::registerCodecs(); // register JPEG codecs
DcmFileFormat fileformat;
if (fileformat.loadFile("test.dcm").good())
{
DcmDataset *dataset = fileformat.getDataset();
DcmItem *metaInfo = fileformat.getMetaInfo();
DJ_RPLossless params; // codec parameters, we use the defaults
// this causes the lossless JPEG version of the dataset to be created
if (dataset->chooseRepresentation(EXS_JPEGProcess14SV1, &params).good() &&
dataset->canWriteXfer(EXS_JPEGProcess14SV1))
{
// store in lossless JPEG format
fileformat.saveFile("test_jpeg.dcm", EXS_JPEGProcess14SV1);
}
}
DJEncoderRegistration::cleanup(); // deregister JPEG codecs
DJEncoderRegistration::registerCodecs
