YUV much slower than JPG output?

Questions and postings pertaining to the usage of ImageMagick regardless of the interface. This includes the command-line utilities, as well as the C and C++ APIs. Usage questions are like "How do I use ImageMagick to create drop shadows?".

YUV much slower than JPG output?

Post by manoweb »

Hello. I am using:

Code: Select all

# identify -version
Version: ImageMagick 6.7.7-10 2014-03-06 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2012 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: OpenMP
I am using it on a i5-3320M machine, 2 cores, 4 with hyperthreading. Anyway, the very same happens on Kubuntu 15.04 that uses imagemagick-6.q16 (8:6.8.9.9-5)

I see some relevant performance difference if I choose yuv output instead of jpeg output. I would expect the former to be a little bit faster than jpeg, as it should, in my opinion, perform the same exact actions but skip jpeg encoding; instead, yuv output is 50% slower:

Code: Select all

# time convert -bench 3 DSC_0372.JPG -resize "1920x1080!" -pointsize 50 -fill white -stroke black -draw "text 50,80 \"ABCDEFabcdef12345\"" -sampling-factor "4:2:0" jpeg:- >/dev/null

These are the details of the image,downloaded from a Nikon camera, but images from other cameras I've tried exhibit the same behaviour:

Maybe even more interesting is an even smaller command line:

Code: Select all

# time convert -bench 3 DSC_0372.JPG jpeg:- >/dev/null
Performance[1]: 3i 1.840ips 1.000e 1.630u 0:01.630

sys     0m1.806s
In this case yuv takes 4x the time it takes jpeg. Is it perhaps in "yuv:-" mode Imagemagick re-arranges the whole image in memory? In this case I have removed the -resize 1920x1080! so convert will not perform a scale down, and the time it has taken to process the yuv has increased greatly, this supports some sort of expensive re-arrangement of the yuv data?
