Custom Quantization Tables

[cujsmith]

Hello, I'm working on a C++ application and want to compress with custom quantization tables. Is there a way to do this in a C++ program? The "quality factor" function is not precise enough. And I know I can do this with the command line installation of ImageMagick but I can't find the solution for Magick++.
Thanks!

See viewtopic.php?t=20414

Does that do what you want?

[cujsmith]

Yes, this should do it. I'll work with it.
Thanks, Jeff

I can't get it to work out.
I am using the imagemagick supplied "quantization-table.xml" that will encode with the following QTs:
Luminance Quantization Table
16, 12, 14, 17, 22, 30, 45, 72,
12, 13, 14, 17, 22, 31, 46, 74,
14, 14, 16, 19, 25, 35, 52, 83,
17, 17, 19, 23, 30, 41, 62, 100,
22, 22, 25, 30, 39, 54, 80, 129,
30, 31, 35, 41, 54, 74, 111, 178,
45, 46, 52, 62, 80, 111, 166, 267,
72, 74, 83, 100, 129, 178, 267, 428
Chrominance Quantization Table
17, 18, 22, 31, 50, 92, 193, 465,
18, 19, 24, 33, 54, 98, 207, 498,
22, 24, 29, 41, 66, 120, 253, 609,
31, 33, 41, 57, 92, 169, 355, 854,
50, 54, 66, 92, 148, 271, 570, 1370,
92, 98, 120, 169, 271, 498, 1046, 2516,
193, 207, 253, 355, 570, 1046, 2198, 5289,
465, 498, 609, 854, 1370, 2516, 5289, 12725

This is the c++ code I'm using:

Code: Select all

        image.read( "in.jpg" );
        image.defineValue("jpeg", "q-table", "quantization-table.xml");
        image.write( "out.jpg" );

However, in my "out.jpg" I'm ending up with these QTs:
Luminance Quantization Table
2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10
2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10
2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12
2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 6, 9, 14
3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 8, 11, 18
4, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 16, 25
6, 6, 7, 9, 11, 16, 23, 37
10, 10, 12, 14, 18, 25, 37, 60
Chrominance Quantization Table
2, 3, 3, 4, 7, 13, 27, 65
3, 3, 3, 5, 8, 14, 29, 70
3, 3, 4, 6, 9, 17, 35, 85
4, 5, 6, 8, 13, 24, 50 120
7, 8, 9, 13, 21, 38, 80 192
13, 14, 17, 24, 38, 70 146 352
27, 29, 35, 50, 80 146 308 740
65, 70, 85 120 192 352 740 1782

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Sorry, I know nothing about JPEG quantization.

Anyone out there know how I can fix this and encode with the desired QTs?
