Custom Quantization Tables using defineValue

[cujsmith]

Hello, I think I found a bug. It could be attributed to user error, but I think I've ruled out that possibility.
The problem is in supplying a "quantization-table.xml" I wish to encode with the following QTs in a C++ program:

Code: Select all

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:

Code: Select all

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 

Thanks for the help in advance!

You need to set the jpeg output quality to 50 otherwise the library scales the quantization tables. I've posted about this in a different thread.
