nvJPEG2000 Documentation

Introduction

The nvJPEG2000 library accelerates the decoding and encoding of JPEG2000 images on NVIDIA GPUs. The library is built on the CUDA platform and is supported on Pascal+ GPU architectures.

Note

Throughout this document, the terms “CPU” and “Host” are used synonymously. Similarly, the terms “GPU” and “Device” are synonymous.

nvJPEG2000 Decoder

The library utilizes both CPU and GPU for decoding. Tier 2 decode stage (first stage of decode; please refer to the JPEG2000 specification for details) is run on the CPU. All other stages of the decoding process are offloaded to the GPU.

The nvJPEG2000 decoder supports the following:

JPEG2000 Options:

  • Up to 16 bits per component

  • No of components : 4

  • Reversible(5-3) and irreversible(9-7) wavelet transforms

  • Multiple tiles per image

  • Up to 20 layers per image

  • Chroma sub-sampling types - 444, 422, and 420

  • All progression orders

  • Image and tile start coordinates should be 0

  • Tile/Resolution based decoding

  • Partial decoding of tiles and images

  • jp2 file format and jpeg2000 codestream

  • High throughput jpeg2000(All code-blocks have to be HT code-blocks with one HT set and no refinement)

Features:

nvJPEG2000 Encoder

The library utilizes both GPU and CPU to create JPEG2000 bitstreams. The encode APIs require that the input image is on device memory, and the compressed bitstream will be written to host memory.

The nvJPEG2000 encoder supports the following JPEG2000 options:

  • Up to 16 bits per component

  • No of components : 4

  • Reversible(5-3) and irreversible(9-7) wavelet transforms

  • Multiple tiles per image

  • Single layer per image

  • All progression orders

  • Chroma sub-sampling types - 444, 422, and 420

  • jp2 file format and jpeg2000 codestream

  • PSNR based rate control

Thread Safety

Not all nvJPEG2000 types are thread safe. The following should be instantiated separately for each thread: nvjpeg2kDecodeState_t and nvjpeg2kStream_t

Quick Start Guide

This section will explain how to use decoder and encoder APIs in a few quick steps. The API details will be covered in the next section.

JPEG2000 Decode

The library expects the bitstream to be on host memory and the decoded output will be written to device memory.

  1. Initialize the library handles listed below:

  • nvjpeg2kStream_t - is used to parse the bitstream and store the bitstream metadata

  • nvjpeg2kHandle_t - is the nvjpeg2k library handle

  • nvjpeg2kDecodeState_t - is used to store the work buffers required for decode

nvjpeg2kHandle_t nvjpeg2k_handle;
nvjpeg2kStream_t nvjpeg2k_stream;
nvjpeg2kDecodeState_t decode_state;

nvjpeg2kCreateSimple(&nvjpeg2k_handle);
nvjpeg2kDecodeStateCreate(&decode_state);
nvjpeg2kStreamCreate(&nvjpeg2k_stream);
  1. Read the JPEG2000 bitstream file from disk and store it in the host buffer. The library supports .jp2 files and JPEG2000 codestreams.

  2. Use the nvjpeg2kStreamParse API to parse the bitstream.

size_t length;
unsigned char *bitstream_buffer;  // host or pinned memory
// read the bitstream from and store it in bitstream_buffer;

// content of bitstream buffer should not be overwritten until the decoding is complete
nvjpeg2kStatus_t status = nvjpeg2kStreamParse(nvjpeg2k_handle, bitstream_buffer, length, 0, 0, nvjpeg2k_stream);
// make sure that nvjpeg2kStreamParse returns NVJPEG2K_STATUS_SUCCESS before proceeding to the next step

4. Extract the image dimensions for each component and allocate output memory on the device as shown in the below snippet. The decoded output is stored in nvjpeg2kImage_t. This data structure has the ability to handle data 8 and 16 bit precision outputs. The below snippet demonstrates initialization of nvjpeg2kImage_t for an 8 bit 3 channel image.

#define NUM_COMPONENTS 3
// extract image info
nvjpeg2kImageInfo_t image_info;
nvjpeg2kStreamGetImageInfo(nvjpeg2k_stream, &image_info);

// assuming the decoding of images with 8 bit precision, and 3 components

nvjpeg2kImageComponentInfo_t image_comp_info[NUM_COMPONENTS];

for (int c = 0; c < image_info.num_components; c++)
{
    nvjpeg2kStreamGetImageComponentInfo(nvjpeg2k_stream, &image_comp_info[c], c);
}

unsigned char *decode_output[NUM_COMPONENTS];
size_t pitch_in_bytes[NUM_COMPONENTS];

nvjpeg2kImage_t output_image;
for (int c = 0; c < NUM_COMPONENTS; c++)
{
    cudaMallocPitch(&decode_output[c], &pitch_in_bytes[c], image_comp_info[c].comp_width, image_comp_info[c].comp_height );
}

output_image.pixel_data = decode_output;
output_image.pixel_type = NVJPEG2K_UINT8;
output_image.pitch_in_bytes = pitch_in_bytes;
  1. Call nvjpeg2kDecode(). One of the parameters of this function is cudaStream_t. If a stream identifier is passed then the API will use it to issue the asychronous cuda calls. cudaDeviceSynchronize() is required to complete the decoding process since nvjpeg2kDecode is asychronous with respect to the host.

nvjpeg2kStatus_t status = nvjpeg2kDecode(nvjpeg2k_handle, decode_state, nvjpeg2k_stream, &output_image, 0); // 0 corresponds to cudaStream_t
cudaDeviceSynchronize()
  1. Go to step 2 to decode another image. Once all images are decoded, release the nvJPEG2000 library resources by calling the corresponding destroy APIs.

JPEG2000 Encode

The library expects the input image to be on device memory in planar format and the compressed output will written to host memory.

  1. Initialize the library handles listed below:

  • nvjpeg2kEncoder_t - is the nvJPEG2000 encoder handle

  • nvjpeg2kEncodeState_t - is used to store the encoder work buffers and intermediate results

  • nvjpeg2kEncodeParams_t - stores various parameters that control the compressed output

nvjpeg2kEncoder_t enc_handle;
nvjpeg2kEncodeState_t enc_state;
nvjpeg2kEncodeParams_t enc_params;

nvjpeg2kEncoderCreateSimple(&enc_handle);
nvjpeg2kEncodeStateCreate(&enc_state);
nvjpeg2kEncodeParamsCreate(&enc_params);

2. Copy the input image to device memory in planar format. Store the image buffer pointers in nvjpeg2kImage_t. The below snippet demonstrates initialization of nvjpeg2kImage_t and nvjpeg2kImageComponentInfo_t for a 8 bit 3 channel RGB image.

#define NUM_COMPONENTS 3
unsigned char *pixel_data[NUM_COMPONENTS];
size_t pitch_in_bytes[NUM_COMPONENTS];

nvjpeg2kImageComponentInfo_t image_comp_info[NUM_COMPONENTS];

uint32_t image_width  =  // assign image width
uint32_t image_height =  // assign image height

for (int c = 0; c < image_info.num_components; c++)
{
    image_comp_info[c].component_width  = image_width;
    image_comp_info[c].component_height = image_height;
    image_comp_info[c].precision        = 8;
    image_comp_info[c].sgn              = 0;
}

nvjpeg2kImage_t input_image;
for (int c = 0; c < NUM_COMPONENTS; c++)
{
    cudaMallocPitch(&pixel_data[c], &pitch_in_bytes[c], image_comp_info[c].comp_width, image_comp_info[c].comp_height);
    // cudaMallocPitch is used to let cuda deterimine the pitch. cudaMalloc can be used if required.
}

// Copy the image to the device buffers.

input_image.pixel_data = pixel_data;
input_image.pixel_type = NVJPEG2K_UINT8;
input_image.pitch_in_bytes = pitch_in_bytes;

3. Populate the nvjpeg2kEncodeConfig_t structure and call nvjpeg2kEncodeParamsSetEncodeConfig. The below code snippet documents the settings to generate a JPEG2000 bitstream using reversible wavelet transform with 64x64 code block size.

Note

The valid values for each field in nvjpeg2kEncodeConfig_t are documented here.

nvjpeg2kEncodeConfig_t enc_config;
memset(&enc_config, 0, sizeof(enc_config));
enc_config.stream_type      =  NVJPEG2K_STREAM_JP2; // the bitstream will be in JP2 container format
enc_config.color_space      =  NVJPEG2K_COLORSPACE_SRGB; // input image is in RGB format
enc_config.image_width      =  image_width;
enc_config.image_height     =  image_height;
enc_config.num_components   =  NUM_COMPONENTS;
enc_config.image_comp_info  =  &image_comp_info;
enc_config.code_block_w     =  64;
enc_config.code_block_h     =  64;
enc_config.irreversible     =  0
enc_config.mct_mode         =  1;
enc_config.prog_order       =  NVJPEG2K_LRCP;
enc_config.num_resolutions  =  6;

nvjpeg2kStatus_t status = nvjpeg2kEncodeParamsSetEncodeConfig(enc_params, &enc_config);

Note

All nvJPEG2000 APIs should return NVJPEG2K_STATUS_SUCCESS. The results may not be valid otherwise.

  1. For lossy encode, set the target PSNR in decibels(dB) as shown below. It is not required to call this API for lossless encode.

double target_psnr = 50;
status = nvjpeg2kEncodeParamsSetQuality(enc_params, target_psnr));
  1. Call nvjpeg2kEncode. One of the parameters of this function is cudaStream_t. If a stream identifier is passed then the API will use it to issue the asychronous cuda calls.

status = nvjpeg2kEncode(enc_handle, enc_state, enc_params, &input_image, NULL));

6. Retrieve the compressed JPEG2000 bitstream to host memory as shown in the below code snippet. If a stream identifier is passed, then the API will use it to issue the asynchronous cuda calls. cudaDeviceSynchronize() is required to complete the encoding process since the APIs are asynchronous with respect to the host.

// set the compressed_data buffer to NULL to retrieve the bitstream size
size_t compressed_size;
status = nvjpeg2kEncodeRetrieveBitstream(enc_handle, enc_state, NULL, &compressed_size);

// allocate output buffer
unsigned char *compressed_data = new unsigned char [compressed_size]
status = nvjpeg2kEncodeRetrieveBitstream(enc_handle, enc_state, compressed_data, &compressed_size,
    params.stream));
cudaDeviceSynchronize();

7 Go to step 2 to encode another image. Once all images are encoded, release the nvJPEG2000 library resources by calling the corresponding destroy APIs.

Device Allocator Interface

typedef int (*nvjpeg2kDeviceMalloc)(void**, size_t);
typedef int (*nvjpeg2kDeviceFree)(void*);
typedef struct
{
    nvjpeg2kDeviceMalloc device_malloc;
    nvjpeg2kDeviceFree device_free;
} nvjpeg2kDeviceAllocator_t;

When the nvjpeg2kDeviceAllocator_t *allocator parameter in the nvjpeg2kCreate() function is set as a pointer to the above nvjpeg2kDeviceAllocator_t structure, then this structure is used for allocating and releasing the device memory. The function prototypes for the memory allocation and memory freeing functions are similar to the cudaMalloc() and cudaFree() functions. They should return 0 in case of success, and non-zero otherwise.

However, if the nvjpeg2kDeviceAllocator_t *allocator parameter in the nvjpeg2kCreate() function is set to NULL, then the default memory allocation functions cudaMalloc() and cudaFree() will be used. When using nvjpeg2kCreateSimple() function to create library handle the default device memory allocator will be used.

Pinned Allocator Interface

typedef int (*nvjpeg2kPinnedMalloc)(void**, size_t, unsigned int flags);
typedef int (*nvjpeg2kPinnedFree)(void*)
typedef struct
{
    nvjpeg2kPinnedMalloc pinned_malloc;
    nvjpeg2kPinnedFree   pinned_free;
} nvjpeg2kPinnedAllocator_t;

When the nvjpegPinnedAllocator_t *allocator parameter in the nvjpeg2kCreate() function is set as a pointer to the above nvjpegPinnedAllocator_t structure, then this structure will be used for allocating and releasing host pinned memory for copying data to/from device. The function prototypes for the memory allocation and memory freeing functions are similar to cudaHostAlloc() and cudaFreeHost() functions. They will return 0 in case of success, and non-zero otherwise.

However, if the nvjpeg2kPinnedAllocator_t *allocator parameter in the nvjpeg2kCreate() function is set to NULL, then the default memory allocation functions cudaHostAlloc() and cudaFreeHost() will be used. When using nvjpegCreateSimple() function to create library handle, the default host pinned memory allocator will be used.

Extended Device Allocator Interface

typedef int (*nvjpeg2kDeviceMallocV2)(void* ctx, void **ptr, size_t size, cudaStream_t stream);
typedef int (*nvjpeg2kDeviceFreeV2)(void* ctx, void *ptr, size_t size, cudaStream_t stream);

typedef struct nvjpeg2kDeviceAllocatorV2
{
    nvjpeg2kDeviceMallocV2 device_malloc;
    nvjpeg2kDeviceFreeV2 device_free;
    void *device_ctx;
} nvjpeg2kDeviceAllocatorV2_t;

Allows the user to provide device allocators which accept cuda streams and user context. They will return 0 in case of success, and non-zero otherwise. Extended device allocators can be passed as input to the library using nvjpeg2kCreateV2().

Extended Pinned Allocator Interface

typedef int (*nvjpeg2kPinnedMallocV2)(void* ctx, void **ptr, size_t size, cudaStream_t stream);
typedef int (*nvjpeg2kPinnedFreeV2)(void* ctx, void *ptr, size_t size, cudaStream_t stream)
typedef struct nvjpeg2kPinnedAllocatorV2
{
    nvjpeg2kPinnedMallocV2 pinned_malloc;
    nvjpeg2kPinnedFreeV2   pinned_free;
    void *pinned_ctx;
} nvjpeg2kPinnedAllocatorV2_t;

Allows the user to provide pinned allocators which accept cuda streams and user context. They will return 0 in case of success, and non-zero otherwise. Extended pinned allocators can be passed as input to the library using nvjpeg2kCreateV2().

    NVJPEG2K_COLORSPACE_NOT_SUPPORTED = -1,
    NVJPEG2K_COLORSPACE_UNKNOWN       = 0,
    NVJPEG2K_COLORSPACE_SRGB          = 1,
    NVJPEG2K_COLORSPACE_GRAY          = 2,
    NVJPEG2K_COLORSPACE_SYCC          = 3
} nvjpeg2kColorSpace_t;

The nvjpeg2kColorSpace_t enum corresponds to the colorspace values which are part of the JP2 file format specification.

Library Backend

typedef enum
{
    NVJPEG2K_BACKEND_DEFAULT = 0
} nvjpeg2kBackend_t;

The nvjpeg2kBackend_t enum allows the user the option to select a different internal implementation. A single implementation is currently supported. Additional implementations may be added in the future.

  • If compressed_data is not NULL, the length parameter should contain the data buffer size.

  • If the length is less than compressed stream size, an error will be returned. Otherwise the compressed stream will be stored in the data buffer and the actual compressed buffer size will be stored in the length parameter.

  • Asynchronous behavior

    • When the compressed_data parameter is NULL, the API can be assumed to be synchronous with the host

    • When the compressed_data parameter is not NULL, the application should call cudaStreamSynchronize() to make sure the bitstream copy is successful.
