Description:
|
||
|
============
|
||
|
|
||
|
WebP codec: library to encode and decode images in WebP format. This package
|
||
|
contains the library that can be used in other programs to add WebP support,
|
||
|
as well as the command line tools 'cwebp' and 'dwebp'.
|
||
|
|
||
|
See http://developers.google.com/speed/webp
|
||
|
|
||
|
The latest source tree is available at
|
||
|
https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libwebp
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is released under the same license as the WebM project.
|
||
|
See http://www.webmproject.org/license/software/ or the
|
||
|
"COPYING" file for details. An additional intellectual
|
||
|
property rights grant can be found in the file PATENTS.

||
|
Building:
|
||
|
=========
|
||
|
|
||
|
Windows build:
|
||
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
By running:
|
||
|
|
||
|
nmake /f Makefile.vc CFG=release-static RTLIBCFG=static OBJDIR=output
|
||
|
|
||
|
the directory output\release-static\(x64|x86)\bin will contain the tools
|
||
|
cwebp.exe and dwebp.exe. The directory output\release-static\(x64|x86)\lib will
|
||
|
contain the libwebp static library.
|
||
|
The target architecture (x86/x64) is detected by Makefile.vc from the Visual
|
||
|
Studio compiler (cl.exe) available in the system path.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Unix build using makefile.unix:
|
||
|
-------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
On platforms with GNU tools installed (gcc and make), running
|
||
|
|
||
|
make -f makefile.unix
|
||
|
|
||
|
will build the binaries examples/cwebp and examples/dwebp, along
|
||
|
with the static library src/libwebp.a. No system-wide installation
|
||
|
is supplied, as this is a simple alternative to the full installation
|
||
|
system based on the autoconf tools (see below).
|
||
|
Please refer to makefile.unix for additional details and customizations.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Using autoconf tools:
|
||
|
---------------------
|
||
|
Prerequisites:
|
||
|
A compiler (e.g., gcc), make, autoconf, automake, libtool.
|
||
|
On a Debian-like system the following should install everything you need for a
|
||
|
minimal build:
|
||
|
$ sudo apt-get install gcc make autoconf automake libtool
|
||
|
|
||
|
When building from git sources, you will need to run autogen.sh to generate the
|
||
|
configure script.
|
||
|
|
||
|
./configure
|
||
|
make
|
||
|
make install
|
||
|
|
||
|
should be all you need to have the following files
|
||
|
|
||
|
/usr/local/include/webp/decode.h
|
||
|
/usr/local/include/webp/encode.h
|
||
|
/usr/local/include/webp/types.h
|
||
|
/usr/local/lib/libwebp.*
|
||
|
/usr/local/bin/cwebp
|
||
|
/usr/local/bin/dwebp
|
||
|
|
||
|
installed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note: A decode-only library, libwebpdecoder, is available using the
|
||
|
'--enable-libwebpdecoder' flag. The encode library is built separately and can
|
||
|
be installed independently using a minor modification in the corresponding
|
||
|
Makefile.am configure files (see comments there). See './configure --help' for
|
||
|
more options.
|
||
|

Building for MIPS Linux:
|
||
|
------------------------
|
||
|
MIPS Linux toolchain stable available releases can be found at:

|
||
|
MIPS_LDFLAGS="-mips64r6 -mabi=64 -mmsa -mfp64 -pie"
|

|
./configure --host=${HOST} --build=`config.guess` \
|
||
|
CC="${HOST}-gcc -EL" \
|
||
|
CFLAGS="$MIPS_CFLAGS" \
|
||
|
LDFLAGS="$MIPS_LDFLAGS"
|
||
|
make
|
||
|
make install
|
||
|
|
||
|
CMake:
|
||
|
------
|
||
|
With CMake, you can compile libwebp, cwebp, dwebp, gif2web, img2webp, webpinfo
|
||
|
and the JS bindings.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Prerequisites:
|
||
|
A compiler (e.g., gcc with autotools) and CMake.
|
||
|
On a Debian-like system the following should install everything you need for a
|
||
|
minimal build:
|
||
|
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake
|
||
|
|
||
|
When building from git sources, you will need to run cmake to generate the
|
||
|
makefiles.
|
||
|
|
||
|
mkdir build && cd build && cmake ../
|
||
|
make
|
||
|
make install
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you also want any of the executables, you will need to enable them through
|
||
|
CMake, e.g.:
|
||
|
|
||
|
cmake -DWEBP_BUILD_CWEBP=ON -DWEBP_BUILD_DWEBP=ON ../
|
||
|
|
||
|
or through your favorite interface (like ccmake or cmake-qt-gui).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use option -DWEBP_UNICODE=ON for Unicode support on Windows (with chcp 65001).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Finally, once installed, you can also use WebP in your CMake project by doing:
|
||
|
|
||
|
find_package(WebP)
|
||
|
|
||
|
which will define the CMake variables WebP_INCLUDE_DIRS and WebP_LIBRARIES.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Gradle:
|
||
|
-------
|
||
|
The support for Gradle is minimal: it only helps you compile libwebp, cwebp and
|
||
|
dwebp and webpmux_example.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Prerequisites:
|
||
|
A compiler (e.g., gcc with autotools) and gradle.
|
||
|
On a Debian-like system the following should install everything you need for a
|
||
|
minimal build:
|
||
|
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential gradle
|
||
|
|
||
|
When building from git sources, you will need to run the Gradle wrapper with the
|
||
|
appropriate target, e.g. :
|
||
|
|
||
|
./gradlew buildAllExecutables
|
||
|
|
||
|
SWIG bindings:
|
||
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
To generate language bindings from swig/libwebp.swig at least swig-1.3
|
||
|
(http://www.swig.org) is required.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Currently the following functions are mapped:
|
||
|
Decode:
|
||
|
WebPGetDecoderVersion
|
||
|
WebPGetInfo
|
||
|
WebPDecodeRGBA
|
||
|
WebPDecodeARGB
|
||
|
WebPDecodeBGRA
|
||
|
WebPDecodeBGR
|
||
|
WebPDecodeRGB
|
||
|
|
||
|
Encode:
|
||
|
WebPGetEncoderVersion
|
||
|
WebPEncodeRGBA
|
||
|
WebPEncodeBGRA
|
||
|
WebPEncodeRGB
|
||
|
WebPEncodeBGR
|
||
|
WebPEncodeLosslessRGBA
|
||
|
WebPEncodeLosslessBGRA
|
||
|
WebPEncodeLosslessRGB
|
||
|
WebPEncodeLosslessBGR
|
||
|
|
||
|
See swig/README for more detailed build instructions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Java bindings:
|
||
|
|
||
|
To build the swig-generated JNI wrapper code at least JDK-1.5 (or equivalent)
|
||
|
is necessary for enum support. The output is intended to be a shared object /
|
||
|
DLL that can be loaded via System.loadLibrary("webp_jni").
|
||
|
|
||
|
Python bindings:
|
||
|
|
||
|
To build the swig-generated Python extension code at least Python 2.6 is
|
||
|
required. Python < 2.6 may build with some minor changes to libwebp.swig or the
|
||
|
generated code, but is untested.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Encoding tool:
|
||
|
==============
|
||
|
|
||
|
The examples/ directory contains tools for encoding (cwebp) and
|
||
|
decoding (dwebp) images.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The easiest use should look like:
|
||
|
cwebp input.png -q 80 -o output.webp
|
||
|
which will convert the input file to a WebP file using a quality factor of 80
|
||
|
on a 0->100 scale (0 being the lowest quality, 100 being the best. Default
|
||
|
value is 75).
|
||
|
You might want to try the -lossless flag too, which will compress the source
|
||
|
(in RGBA format) without any loss. The -q quality parameter will in this case
|
||
|
control the amount of processing time spent trying to make the output file as
|
||
|
small as possible.
|
||
|
|
||
|
A longer list of options is available using the -longhelp command line flag:
|
||
|
|
||
|
> cwebp -longhelp
|
||
|
Usage:
|
||
|
cwebp [-preset <...>] [options] in_file [-o out_file]
|
||
|
|
||
|
If input size (-s) for an image is not specified, it is
|
||
|
assumed to be a PNG, JPEG, TIFF or WebP file.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
The main options you might want to try in order to further tune the
|
||
|
visual quality are:
|
||
|
-preset
|
||
|
-sns
|
||
|
-f
|
||
|
-m
|
||
|
|
||
|
Namely:
|
||
|
* 'preset' will set up a default encoding configuration targeting a
|
||
|
particular type of input. It should appear first in the list of options,
|
||
|
so that subsequent options can take effect on top of this preset.
|
||
|
Default value is 'default'.
|
||
|
* 'sns' will progressively turn on (when going from 0 to 100) some additional
|
||
|
visual optimizations (like: segmentation map re-enforcement). This option
|
||
|
will balance the bit allocation differently. It tries to take bits from the
|
||
|
"easy" parts of the picture and use them in the "difficult" ones instead.
|
||
|
Usually, raising the sns value (at fixed -q value) leads to larger files,
|
||
|
but with better quality.
|
||
|
Typical value is around '75'.
|
||
|
* 'f' option directly links to the filtering strength used by the codec's
|
||
|
in-loop processing. The higher the value, the smoother the
|
||
|
highly-compressed area will look. This is particularly useful when aiming
|
||
|
at very small files. Typical values are around 20-30. Note that using the
|
||
|
option -strong/-nostrong will change the type of filtering. Use "-f 0" to
|
||
|
turn filtering off.
|
||
|
* 'm' controls the trade-off between encoding speed and quality. Default is 4.
|
||
|
You can try -m 5 or -m 6 to explore more (time-consuming) encoding
|
||
|
possibilities. A lower value will result in faster encoding at the expense
|
||
|
of quality.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Decoding tool:
|
||
|
==============
|
||
|
|
||
|
There is a decoding sample in examples/dwebp.c which will take
|
||
|
a .webp file and decode it to a PNG image file (amongst other formats).
|
||
|
This is simply to demonstrate the use of the API. You can verify the
|
||
|
file test.webp decodes to exactly the same as test_ref.ppm by using:
|
||
|
|
||
|
cd examples
|
||
|
./dwebp test.webp -ppm -o test.ppm
|
||
|
diff test.ppm test_ref.ppm
|
||
|
|
||
|
The full list of options is available using -h:
|
||
|
|
||
|
> dwebp -h
|
||
|
Usage: dwebp in_file [options] [-o out_file]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Decodes the WebP image file to PNG format [Default]
|
||
|
Use following options to convert into alternate image formats:
|
||
|
-pam ......... save the raw RGBA samples as a color PAM
|
||
|
-ppm ......... save the raw RGB samples as a color PPM
|
||
|
-bmp ......... save as uncompressed BMP format
|
||
|
-tiff ........ save as uncompressed TIFF format
|
||
|
-pgm ......... save the raw YUV samples as a grayscale PGM
|
||
|
file with IMC4 layout
|
||
|
-yuv ......... save the raw YUV samples in flat layout
|
||
|
|
||
|
Other options are:
|
||
|
-version ..... print version number and exit
|
||
|

|
||
|
-nofilter .... disable in-loop filtering
|
||
|

|
||
|
-mt .......... use multi-threading
|
||
|

|
||
|
-flip ........ flip the output vertically
|
||
|
-alpha ....... only save the alpha plane
|
||
|
-incremental . use incremental decoding (useful for tests)
|
||
|
-h ........... this help message
|
||
|
-v ........... verbose (e.g. print encoding/decoding times)
|
||
|
-quiet ....... quiet mode, don't print anything
|
||
|
-noasm ....... disable all assembly optimizations
|
||
|
|
||
|
WebP file analysis tool:
|
||
|
========================
|
||
|
|
||
|
'webpinfo' can be used to print out the chunk level structure and bitstream
|
||
|
header information of WebP files. It can also check if the files are of valid
|
||
|
WebP format.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Usage: webpinfo [options] in_files
|
||
|
Note: there could be multiple input files;
|
||
|
options must come before input files.
|
||
|
Options:
|
||
|
-version ........... Print version number and exit.
|
||
|
-quiet ............. Do not show chunk parsing information.
|
||
|
-diag .............. Show parsing error diagnosis.
|
||
|
-summary ........... Show chunk stats summary.
|
||
|
-bitstream_info .... Parse bitstream header.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Visualization tool:
|
||
|
===================
|
||
|
|
||
|
There's a little self-serve visualization tool called 'vwebp' under the
|
||
|
examples/ directory. It uses OpenGL to open a simple drawing window and show
|
||
|
a decoded WebP file. It's not yet integrated in the automake build system, but
|
||
|
you can try to manually compile it using the recommendations below.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Usage: vwebp in_file [options]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Decodes the WebP image file and visualize it using OpenGL
|
||
|
Options are:
|
||
|
-version ..... print version number and exit
|
||
|
-noicc ....... don't use the icc profile if present
|
||
|
-nofancy ..... don't use the fancy YUV420 upscaler
|
||
|

Encoding API:
|
||
|
=============
|
||
|
|
||
|
The main encoding functions are available in the header src/webp/encode.h
|
||
|
The ready-to-use ones are:
|
||
|
size_t WebPEncodeRGB(const uint8_t* rgb, int width, int height, int stride,
|
||
|
float quality_factor, uint8_t** output);
|
||
|
size_t WebPEncodeBGR(const uint8_t* bgr, int width, int height, int stride,
|
||
|
float quality_factor, uint8_t** output);
|
||
|
size_t WebPEncodeRGBA(const uint8_t* rgba, int width, int height, int stride,
|
||
|
float quality_factor, uint8_t** output);
|
||
|
size_t WebPEncodeBGRA(const uint8_t* bgra, int width, int height, int stride,
|
||
|
float quality_factor, uint8_t** output);
|
||
|
|
||
|
They will convert raw RGB samples to a WebP data. The only control supplied
|
||
|
is the quality factor.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are some variants for using the lossless format:
|
||
|
|
||
|
size_t WebPEncodeLosslessRGB(const uint8_t* rgb, int width, int height,
|
||
|
int stride, uint8_t** output);
|
||
|
size_t WebPEncodeLosslessBGR(const uint8_t* bgr, int width, int height,
|
||
|
int stride, uint8_t** output);
|
||
|
size_t WebPEncodeLosslessRGBA(const uint8_t* rgba, int width, int height,
|
||
|
int stride, uint8_t** output);
|
||
|
size_t WebPEncodeLosslessBGRA(const uint8_t* bgra, int width, int height,
|
||
|
int stride, uint8_t** output);
|
||
|
|
||
|
Of course in this case, no quality factor is needed since the compression
|
||
|
occurs without loss of the input values, at the expense of larger output sizes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Advanced encoding API:
|
||
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
A more advanced API is based on the WebPConfig and WebPPicture structures.
|
||
|
|
||
|
WebPConfig contains the encoding settings and is not tied to a particular
|
||
|
picture.
|
||
|
WebPPicture contains input data, on which some WebPConfig will be used for
|
||
|
compression.
|
||
|
The encoding flow looks like:
|
||
|
|
||
|
-------------------------------------- BEGIN PSEUDO EXAMPLE
|
||
|
|
||
|
#include <webp/encode.h>
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Setup a config, starting form a preset and tuning some additional
|
||
|
// parameters
|
||
|
WebPConfig config;
|
||
|
if (!WebPConfigPreset(&config, WEBP_PRESET_PHOTO, quality_factor))
|
||
|
return 0; // version error
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
// ... additional tuning
|
||
|
config.sns_strength = 90;
|
||
|
config.filter_sharpness = 6;
|
||
|
config_error = WebPValidateConfig(&config); // not mandatory, but useful
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Setup the input data
|
||
|
WebPPicture pic;
|
||
|
if (!WebPPictureInit(&pic)) {
|
||
|
return 0; // version error
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
pic.width = width;
|
||
|
pic.height = height;
|
||
|
// allocated picture of dimension width x height
|
||
|
if (!WebPPictureAllocate(&pic)) {
|
||
|
return 0; // memory error
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
// at this point, 'pic' has been initialized as a container,
|
||
|
// and can receive the Y/U/V samples.
|
||
|
// Alternatively, one could use ready-made import functions like
|
||
|
// WebPPictureImportRGB(), which will take care of memory allocation.
|
||
|
// In any case, past this point, one will have to call
|
||
|
// WebPPictureFree(&pic) to reclaim memory.
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Set up a byte-output write method. WebPMemoryWriter, for instance.
|
||
|
WebPMemoryWriter wrt;
|
||
|
WebPMemoryWriterInit(&wrt); // initialize 'wrt'
|
||
|
|
||
|
pic.writer = MyFileWriter;
|
||
|
pic.custom_ptr = my_opaque_structure_to_make_MyFileWriter_work;
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Compress!
|
||
|
int ok = WebPEncode(&config, &pic); // ok = 0 => error occurred!
|
||
|
WebPPictureFree(&pic); // must be called independently of the 'ok' result.
|
||
|
|
||
|
// output data should have been handled by the writer at that point.
|
||
|
// -> compressed data is the memory buffer described by wrt.mem / wrt.size
|
||
|
|
||
|
// deallocate the memory used by compressed data
|
||
|
WebPMemoryWriterClear(&wrt);
|
||
|
|
||
|
-------------------------------------- END PSEUDO EXAMPLE
|
||
|
|
||
|
Decoding API:
|
||
|
=============
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is mainly just one function to call:
|
||
|
|
||
|
#include "webp/decode.h"
|
||
|
uint8_t* WebPDecodeRGB(const uint8_t* data, size_t data_size,
|
||
|
int* width, int* height);
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please have a look at the file src/webp/decode.h for the details.
|
||
|
There are variants for decoding in BGR/RGBA/ARGB/BGRA order, along with
|
||
|
decoding to raw Y'CbCr samples. One can also decode the image directly into a
|
||
|
pre-allocated buffer.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To detect a WebP file and gather the picture's dimensions, the function:
|
||
|
int WebPGetInfo(const uint8_t* data, size_t data_size,
|
||
|
int* width, int* height);
|
||
|
is supplied. No decoding is involved when using it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Incremental decoding API:
|
||
|
=========================
|
||
|
|
||
|
In the case when data is being progressively transmitted, pictures can still
|
||
|
be incrementally decoded using a slightly more complicated API. Decoder state
|
||
|
is stored into an instance of the WebPIDecoder object. This object can be
|
||
|
created with the purpose of decoding either RGB or Y'CbCr samples.
|
||
|
For instance:
|
||
|
|
||
|
WebPDecBuffer buffer;
|
||
|
WebPInitDecBuffer(&buffer);
|
||
|
buffer.colorspace = MODE_BGR;
|
||
|
...
|
||
|
WebPIDecoder* idec = WebPINewDecoder(&buffer);
|
||
|
|
||
|
As data is made progressively available, this incremental-decoder object
|
||
|
can be used to decode the picture further. There are two (mutually exclusive)
|
||
|
ways to pass freshly arrived data:
|
||
|
|
||
|
either by appending the fresh bytes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
WebPIAppend(idec, fresh_data, size_of_fresh_data);
|
||
|
|
||
|
or by just mentioning the new size of the transmitted data:
|
||
|
|
||
|
WebPIUpdate(idec, buffer, size_of_transmitted_buffer);
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that 'buffer' can be modified between each call to WebPIUpdate, in
|
||
|
particular when the buffer is resized to accommodate larger data.
|
||
|
|
||
|
These functions will return the decoding status: either VP8_STATUS_SUSPENDED if
|
||
|
decoding is not finished yet or VP8_STATUS_OK when decoding is done. Any other
|
||
|
status is an error condition.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The 'idec' object must always be released (even upon an error condition) by
|
||
|
calling: WebPDelete(idec).
|
||
|
|
||
|
To retrieve partially decoded picture samples, one must use the corresponding
|
||
|
method: WebPIDecGetRGB or WebPIDecGetYUVA.
|
||
|
It will return the last displayable pixel row.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Lastly, note that decoding can also be performed into a pre-allocated pixel
|
||
|
buffer. This buffer must be passed when creating a WebPIDecoder, calling
|
||
|
WebPINewRGB() or WebPINewYUVA().
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please have a look at the src/webp/decode.h header for further details.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Advanced Decoding API:
|
||
|
======================
|
||
|
|
||
|
WebP decoding supports an advanced API which provides on-the-fly cropping and
|
||
|
rescaling, something of great usefulness on memory-constrained environments like
|
||
|
mobile phones. Basically, the memory usage will scale with the output's size,
|
||
|
not the input's, when one only needs a quick preview or a zoomed in portion of
|
||
|
an otherwise too-large picture. Some CPU can be saved too, incidentally.
|
||
|
|
||
|
-------------------------------------- BEGIN PSEUDO EXAMPLE
