In Generation 1 images, the predictor value used at the beginning of each line is the last pixel
value from the previous line in the image (Assumes Left to Right, Top to Bottom scanning of the
pixels).
The Generation 2 and industry compliant predictor for the first line element of each line should
be the first element of the line above the current line. For the first line, first element predictor
should be the unsigned value that is half the full-scale range for the "sample precision" (GEHC
uses (1 << 15) = 32768).
The GEHC Generation 1 JPEG computation of the difference to be Huffman encoded was
computed as (Predictor - value) when it should have been calculated as (value - Predictor) .
The result is that the decompression via industry standard packages results in a negative of the
original image and a breakdown of the pixel basis when the last pixel on a line is different from
the first pixel on the next line.
The JPEG software distributed by the Independent JPEG Group does not include an important
feature found in the GEHC, the Stanford, and the Cornell JPEG packages with respect to
handling 16 bit deep images. In the case where the "huffDECODE" would return a category 16
value indicating that 16 bits should be acquired from the bit stream, the correct action is to add
32768 to the current value and to NOT get the number from the bit stream. Without this test [if
(s == 16) dx += 32768; else ...], the image will exhibit a spatial offset resulting from the incorrect
synchronization of the input bit stream.
This version and all future GEHC LightSpeed software will read (but not write) the Installed
Base Generation 1 media. In addition, the creation of Generation 2 media as has been initiated
and the new format media will be Industry compatible JPEG and will NOT use the Multi-
Fragment segmentation. The ability to handle Multi-Segment data sets is also being deployed to
handle the small number of Multi-Fragment images that have reached media.
