Thanks for the info. I probably should have mentioned that I'm working
in C++ on windows by the way. I'm working with NITF images that are
simply wrapped jpegs that are in one piece. For now, I just need to
read the NITF file and send the jpeg image data over the network.
Temporarily, I'm just going to use the CreateCopy function to copy the
image data to a jpeg file, then re-read it into my program then send it
over the network.

I'm new to GDAL, and I'm wondering if there's a way I can get the buffer
of raw compressed image data. I have an NITF file that contains a jpeg
image. I've been able to use the rasterio function to get uncompressed
image data, but what I really need is to just send along that jpeg image
without the NITF wrapping. Is there a funciton to give me just raw
compressed image data? Thanks.
Joe,
No, there's no function to do that. However, you can find some hints with
running gdalinfo with debugging :
$ gdalinfo byte_jpg.ntf --debug on
GDAL: NITFDataset::Open() as IC=C3 (JPEG compressed)
JPG: real_filename byte_jpg.ntf, offset=907, size=519
GDAL: GDALOpen(JPEG_SUBFILE:Q0,907,519,byte_jpg.ntf, this=0x204ce00) succeeds
as JPEG.
GDAL: GDALOpen(byte_jpg.ntf, this=0x204c770) succeeds as NITF.
[...]
This reveals that there is a JPEG stream starting at offset 907 and of length
519 bytes.
Which can be verified with :
$ gdalinfo /vsisubfile/907_519,byte_jpg.ntf -checksum
Driver: JPEG/JPEG JFIF
Files: /vsisubfile/907_519,byte_jpg.ntf
Size is 20, 20
Coordinate System is `'
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left ( 0.0, 0.0)
Lower Left ( 0.0, 20.0)
Upper Right ( 20.0, 0.0)
Lower Right ( 20.0, 20.0)
Center ( 10.0, 10.0)
Band 1 Block=20x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Gray
Checksum=4743
Image Structure Metadata:
COMPRESSION=JPEG
Then, using the
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/swig/python/samples/gdal_cp.py
script :
$ python swig/python/samples/gdal_cp.py /vsisubfile/907_519,byte_jpg.ntf
jpeg_stream_extracted.jpg
or more simply if your are on Linux :
$ dd if=byte_jpg.ntf of=jpeg_stream_extracted.jpg skip=907 count=519 bs=1
Then :
$ gdalinfo jpeg_stream_extracted.jpg -checksum
Driver: JPEG/JPEG JFIF
Files: jpeg_stream_extracted.jpg
Size is 20, 20
Coordinate System is `'
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left ( 0.0, 0.0)
Lower Left ( 0.0, 20.0)
Upper Right ( 20.0, 0.0)
Lower Right ( 20.0, 20.0)
Center ( 10.0, 10.0)
Band 1 Block=20x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Gray
Checksum=4743
Image Structure Metadata:
COMPRESSION=JPEG
The above will work with IC=C3 compressed NITF files. For IC=M3, as you have
several tiles, it will be a bit more complicated.
