Ben

I'm on vacation on a motor boat in Finland. I'll look at your patch next weekend when I get home.

WebP is scheduled to be added in v0.27. #1048. I downloaded the SDK from Google about 18 months ago. I think it's fairly easy to use that to add webp support to Exiv2.

I don't have time at the moment look at your patch. If this introduces a complex build dependency on GIMP, it will not be accepted.

#2

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

I wasn't in a rush :)

I didn't want to add a dependency on libwebp. It has no dependencies and is self contained. I only tested it with the plug-in to make sure it worked through gexiv2 as i was working on that for said plugin at the time and from the exiv2 on the commandline.

Have a good one.

#3

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

Ah, this sounds good. I'll have a look at this at the weekend. Beautiful day in the Finnish Archipelago.

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Lucky, i need a year off from life just to recuperate.

As for the patch it does borrow a lot of code from the other file formats that were already in there so feel free to change anything that needs to be changed or that i got wrong. It's only important that it works and gets included eventually.

:)

#6

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Wondering if you had the opportunity to look at the patch?

#7

Updated by Gilles Caulier over 5 years ago

The patch sound well written (not tested).

I vote to integrate this patch for next release. code is not too much intrusive and easy to check. I would integrate quickly webp support in digiKam. This imply to have propers metadata R/W support...

  • % Done changed from 0 to 10
  • Estimated time set to 15.00 h

I looked at the patch on Wednesday while I was in Finland. I like that you're using BasicIo to perform the I/O. In fact it's a prerequisite for any image handler to be consistent with our other image handlers. When I looked at Google's libwebp code, I concluded that it may have to be rewritten to work with BasicIo. BasicIo support is essential to exiv2 to provide support for http and other types of I/O.

To integrate your patch into libexiv2, I will have to add test files and build support for CMake/Visual Studio/Autotools. Exiv2 has two totally different file parsers image->readMetadata() (which have been there forever) and image->printStructure() which I wrote to debug image files. It's not essential, however desirable, to include image->printStructure() in webpimage.cpp.

I'm running late on v0.26 already. I don't have a lot to do for v0.26 (about 50 hours), however I do a life with other matters which require my time. So Gilles is entitled to his vote and I think it is desirable to include this in Exiv2 v0.26. If Gilles would like to provide the build, test and printStructure() support, he can submit the patch.

However, I know that Gilles has a family and other stuff to occupy his time in August. If you or Gilles can't do this additional work, I don't want to promise to deal with this while I still have outstanding v0.26 work to finish.

#9

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

I'll see what i can do unless Gilles beats me to it :)

#10

Updated by Gilles Caulier over 5 years ago

For the build structure, Only Cmake is on my mind.

Do not ask me to support MSVC, it's a waste of time. For whole digiKam now (800.000 lines of code + all shared libs as Qt5 + KF5) we use MXE cross compiler which can provide shared/static 32/64 bits targets, including installer... If you look into MXE project, you will see that Exiv2 is already supported as well and work like a charm.

http://mxe.cc/

Advantages : Only one OS to compile : Linux. No need Windows + MSVC. No risk of virus. No need extra MSVC runtime... etc. To debug, all GDB based IDE work fine. The target can be linked with a MSVC client application.

But, it's another subject.

For the test code, Ben, we need Webp test images + some code to check basic operations to read/write data structures in Exif and XMP. Of course this code must check results to complete tests. You will find test code samples for other image formats in test subdir, mostly written in bash. In test/data, we host image samples. I'm sure that one script already check this kind of basic operation for other formats, so take a look and add webp support.

If this test stage pass with webp, well this will be a good point to include your patch in next Exiv2 release.

Q : how did you complete some tests currently to validate your patch ?

Gilles Caulier

#11

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

A bit more work than i thought, i'll see what i can do.

@Gilles I downloaded several images (with and without animation) and manually added the icc profile, exif and xmp data since they were all missing those. Then i ran them through the code (standalone exiv2 program and through the gimp plug-in i was working on). I'd have to create my own test images since those aren't licensed for that kind of redistribution.

@Robin whats the cut-off date (approximately) so i can figure out if i can possibly do it in time :)

#12

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

I've submitted your patch r4355. I agree with Gilles, this looks well written.

I'm submitted the build change for CMake/Visual Studio/Autotools. I've only tested autotools on MacOS-X. I'll inspect the buildserver log files later.

It's essential to support Visual Studio. DigiKam lives in the CMake world, however "native" Visual Studio in important to other users of Exiv2.

Currently Exiv2 supports Exif, IPTC and XMP metadata. Support for ICC profiles has been added in v0.26 (although not yet complete). I think suitable test images can be created with cwebp which ships with libwebp. This isn't a comprehensive test for your code, however it's an essential starting point. Here's the progess so far:

When we run $ exiv2 -pa Stonehenge.webp, it calls IsWebPType() and creates the WebPImage instance. WebPImage::readMetadata() and which calls WebPImage::decodeChunks() is called. And there the story ends. The metadata structures have not been created. I'm sure there's not much wrong here, however I don't have time at the moment to debug this.

The output 1 and 2 are coming from output prompts I have added to WebPImage::readMetadata() and WebPImage::decodeChunks(). I didn't intend to submit those lines - you should remove them of course.

I don't know that we have a "cut off" date. When v0.26 is feature complete, the code will be tested and tweaked for release by Andreas. I'm rather busy at the moment and hoped to have Exiv2 v0.26 ready by the end of June. Having missed the June date, I am caught up in other projects such as vacation and finishing the total remodel of our home.

Here are the next steps as I see it:

1) I'll support the build stuff. CMake/Visual Studio/Autotools will be working by 2016-08-09 12:00 UTC. The buildserver will be building and passing this by 2016-08-10 12:00 UTC.
2) Can you sync/build the trunk and debug WebPImage::decodeChunks()

Once we have the code working, we can discuss:

3) Test Harness and test files
4) Functionality (Exif, IPTC, XMP and ICC support)
5) Stuff we haven't thought of yet!

Lol, it's just that the 50 hours comment made it sound imminent hence my asking if there was a deadline. As for the test, weird it worked here (famous development last words), must have omitted something by mistake when submitting. As for the rest sure, sounds like a deal. I'll get to it later today hopefully or tomorrow to see what is missing. For the ICC profiles i saw but couldn't get it working due to errors when testing it with gimp so put it aside for now and went to using the libwebp to add/remove it (for now) in the plugin and left it out for the patch.

#15

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Also i wasn't sure about the IPTC stuff as webp doesn't support it so i have it try and copy it xmp. Hopefully thats the right way to handle that and since gimp has several bugs 2.9 witht i wasn't sure it was going into the webp file properly i need to recheck that as well with the command line app.

#16

Updated by Gilles Caulier over 5 years ago

ExifTools do not show IPTC suppport in WebP.

But IPTC can be embeded in Exif. There is a standard tags for that. It's only recommend to do it with image format that support long chunk of byte array to host metadata. For ex, JPEG only support 64Kb for Exif, which is too small as IPTC can store 256Kb of preview image for ex.

So, this depend of WebP feature. If metadata chunk is small, forget IPTC in Exif. else you can do it in right exif tag.

But i recommend to do the same than ExifTools, to be homogeneous for the moment.

Ben

Never underestimate what it takes to get code to work everywhere. When people say "it's done", they usually mean "it worked once on my computer". That's not "done". That is "just started". Getting it to work once on one test file is probably about 25% of the job (possibly less).

When folks (like Gilles) say "All Robin has to do is ....", notice the clever use of the words "Robin has to do it all.". The 50 hours left for v0.26 are documented here: http://dev.exiv2.org/news/2 under "Remaining work for Robin".

My wife is fixing dinner at the moment (I'm in England) and I've started to step through your code. There's a test in decodeChunks:

if (equalsWebPTag(chunkId, "VP8X")
The file Stonehenge.webp has the chunkId == "VP8 ". I'll have to read the WebP spec to figure out what this is about.

Let's see if we can get this building/working/passing the tests on every platform, build system, 32/64 bit static/dynamic little-endian/big-endian without ether of us having to do too much work. We can do it. Let's do it!

#18

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

I think I agree with Gilles position on IPTC. I usually agree with Gilles. If IPTC is encoded in a block in WebP, it would be good to respect it. Let's not worry about IPTC yet.

Here's the plan:

1) I'll support the build stuff. CMake/Visual Studio/Autotools will be working by 2016-08-09 12:00 UTC. The buildserver will be building and passing this by 2016-08-10 12:00 UTC.
2) Can you sync/build the trunk and debug WebPImage::decodeChunks()

Once we have the code working, we can discuss:
3) Test Harness and test files
4) Functionality (Exif, IPTC, XMP and ICC support)
5) Stuff we haven't thought of yet!

I'm working on Step 1. Can you work on Step 2? We'll discuss IPTC in Step 4.

The biggest part of this project (like most projects) is probably Step 5 - dealing with stuff we don't know anything about yet. Of course, the battle cry of managers is "it shouldn't be like that", or the even more stupid "why didn't you tell me about this sooner". For example, we'll have to update the man page exiv2.1 and we may have to modify some sample applications. There may be hidden horrors in the webp specification. libwebp/src has 43000 lines of code and exiv2/src/webpimage.cpp has 430. It's possible that we are not 100x smarter than the Googlers who wrote libwebp.

#19

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Robin i never said it was done lol, but i get what you mean. Software is never done, smh, i know i used to do this professionally in a previous life.

There are several VP8 (that being lossy and VP8L being lossless) type chunks, VP8X is the usually the first one (right after the header "RIFFxxxxWEBP" 12bytes long) describing image size and supported features. The wepb always sticks the 'ICCP' chunk right after that followed by the frame/layer/image data and ends with the rest of the metadata chunks. Odds are the stonehenge converted to webp doesn't contain copy of the metadata. I'll double check this but none of the images i found had any in them. Do a hex search for 'EXIF', 'XMP ', or 'ICCP' for the chunk headers in the file. If they're in there then its a bug if not the cwebp only copies the image data. I'll be trying it here in a bit as well. Btw 'VP8 ' should should be the data for a single image and 'ANIM' as well as 'ANMF' are the animation and frame data chunks. Webp has no IPTC chunk which was why i was asking. Time to do a quick check of all this here before heading of the Zzz land.

Here's the direct link to the container specs https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/riff_container

#20

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

I opened up the stonehenge file after converting it with cwebp here and there is no metadata in it.

#21

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

@Robin: Here is the Stonehenge.webp i exported using my gimp plugin with the patch i submitted and it works fine here. Let me know how it works out for you.

#22

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

I can always add extra display messages for when no ICCP, XMP, and EXIF chunks are found.

#23

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Last bit before heading off, you can use webpmux to add/remove metadata in a webp file which is what i used originally when i started tinkering.

#24

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Doh, first bug already, the stonehenge file seems to not export well with my gimp plugin though all my previous files worked. Now to see if its the export of the exiv2 patch thats the problem. Will update back tomorrow.

4 I'll write WebPImage::printStructure()

I think this is a very valuable debugging tool. I hope to submit that code today.

5 What I'd like you to do

Perhaps we should have a discussion on Skype. I am 'clanmills'. Let's discuss your situation (location, availability, skills). We have to assemble some test files and write some test scripts. We can use the Stonehenge file, together with the libwebp utilities to generate copyright free images for the test suite. We should make the test images as small as possible to minimise the size of the svn source checkout.

We have to investigate readMetadata(). $ cwebp -metadata all claimed to have written 12k bytes of Exif metadata, however there are only 3 keys being reported. There's a mysterious message Warning: Failed to decode Exif metadata We are also reporting IPTC metadata. The XMP data looks correct.

Updated by Gilles Caulier over 5 years ago

Ben,

About webp features that i need to implement in digiKam image loader, outside metadata, i'm right if i said :

- 8 and 16 bits colors depth.
- lossy and loss less compression.
- ARGB or RGB support.
- ICC color profile support.

Does lossless is only in 8 bits color depth or 16 bits is supported ?
RGBA color components are stored in image as PNG for ex ?
Other color spaces are supported, as YCrCb as JPEG ?

On wikipedia, information are not clear or perhaps not up to date. I don't yet take a look into libwebp, but as i see in your gimp plugin code, it's very easy to implement.
There is any way to have a progress info while load/decoding or encoding/save the image ?

Thanks in advance

Gilles Caulier

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

@Gilles I haven't found enough information to properly answer you, so i'll try with what i know. As far as i can see its ARGB, ICC profiles are support (the gimp file plugin i'm working on exports it to them at any rate, lol) and lossy and lossless is support but for color depth it seems to be 8 bits only but i am not 100% sure on that part but the encoder seems to only output that. But the documentation is lacking in some areas so its hard to tell. It's RGBA only as far as i can tell, and how i implented it in the plugin.

@Robin Ha nice day, still early here on the other side of the pond :) and good to know about cwebp, honestly never used till last night lol.

I found two issues last night trying to code around them, turns out some height x width data should be in the VP8 and VP8L chunks as well and i need to reference that when no VP8X header is included to get h,w and second when no VP8X header is in the file i need to create one when adding either EXIF or XMP chunks or else the reference library (and related apps) give an error.

I never noticed it before because the exporter i was using was adding an ICC profile and was thus already creating the VP8X header. I'm poring over the webpmux code to see how i could implement that hopefully today or tomorrow worst case.

As for items 3 and 4 good to know, especially for item 3 i tried to edit the files but since i don't have those items to test with it was a shot in the dark :)

For item 5 as i said above i still have a few items to fix, once thats done i should be able to generate any combination of images as needed.

As for location i'm in Canada on the eastern side (EST time). I'll dust off my old Skype account i almost never use it now. Time for some breakfeast now.

@Robin Skype request sent.

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

Thanks for the update, Ben. Canada, eh? I'm an American Citizen, however I've only been in Canada at Niagara Falls. Would like to ride the train coast-to-coast one day. I'll try to get printStructure() implemented later today. Not only is that useful for debugging, I'll actually understand the WebP format when I have that done. So if you fix anything you know is broken, it will be helpful to fix it and send me a patch. After that we can tackle the test harness. If you get the files, I'll do the bash scripts.

Gilles: I can't answer your questions about ColorSpaces, depth and so on. The idea of having a progress callback for readMetadata() and writeMetadata() sounds good. I think that should be added to the Exiv2::Image class and be available for every type of Image. Can you raise a feature request on Redmine.

#32

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

@Robin Yep, I noticed that when i saw you were from San Jose, from your Skype profile :) Never been there but have driven out from here to Vancouver though half on the Canadian side and half on the American side (Detroit to Seattle). Yeah a train ride across would be nice though as i understand it there's a small stretch where where this isn't any service any longer somewhere in Ontario (though i may have misunderstood what i was told at the time or it may have changed since) so you'd have to switch off and on there.

Yeah working on adding the parts i noticed were missing like having to add reading the sizes properly for when the VP8X chunk is missing. Going to work on the writing part that needs fixing later on today or tomorrow morning.

#33

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

We lived in San Jose (Silicon Valley) for 14 years and retired to our 'old' house in England 2 years ago. We've totally renovated our 40 year old house. All the construction work is finished and we're into decorating. We'll be pretty well done in September or October.

We've visited all 50 of the United States and crossed the States on all three trans-continental tracks. However, we have never been in Canada or Mexico. A deliberate choice. If you take on too much, you fail. We restricted ourselves to the States. We're both US Citizens and very happy to be 'home' in England. We met in High School in Scotland. So one of our 'bucket list' projects is to cross Canada by train. http://clanmills.com/BucketList.shtml

Right. I have to go with Alison to look at tiles for the kitchen, then I'll write WebPImage::printStructure(). I'm rather hoping that I can cut'n'paste your code for readMetadata() and get this done quickly. From your conversation with Gilles, I think you have a WebP parser here: https://github.com/draekko/gimp-webp

#34

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

@Gilles looks like was wrong about the colorspace see https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/api and do a search in the page for colorspace. As far as i know right now all exporters are doing rgba.

#35

Updated by Gilles Caulier over 5 years ago

yes, i see. so RGBA is fine...

#36

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

@Robin: hit a snag, seems like the encoder pads with extra \0 some chunks trying to figure it out and how to handle it in the writeMetadata function. Fixed the reading part to disregard those.

#37

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

@Robin New patch update which fixes all previous issues and adds printStructure. I did find one new issue where with a lossless image with alpha but without animation the height listed in the data is way too high (eg. should be 1333 and gets 17717). Trying to figure out where it gets mangled as all other variations work fine. This patch adds/changes to whats in the repo.

#38

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Before i forget again, i get free errors with the gimp plugin when loading an image using whats in repo but when built from the stable version (0.25) it works fine.

The Exif data block is 15280 byte and that feels "about right" and it was 15288 in Stonehenge.jpg (which has a few additional bytes to identify it as Exif in at APP1 segment). However you're only reporting a few keys. I'm wondering if your call to copyXmpToExif() is clobbering something. Also, you have a warning Warning: Failed to decode Exif metadata. What's that about?

2 printStructure()

I was bored this afternoon and did some work on printStructure(). You have the right idea about what's to be done and you've implemented the -pS capability.

Some constructive comments about printStructure()

a) You've used sprintf to format strings. I have Internal:: functions to perform that
b) There are a load of Clang warnings about unsigned/signed comparisons
c) Deal with recursion to dump the Exif data (which is a TIFF formatted structure)
d) We should also implement the options used by
i) -pR/C/X (print Recursive, ICC Profile, XMP)
ii) -dC/E/I/X (delete ICC profile, Exif, IPTC and XMP)

So, to help you focus on the WebP matters, I'll take responsibility for printStructure() and develop it. I'll submit what I have so far which is functionally the same as you have. I've implemented -pS and just started to work on -pR.

3 Leaking memory

I'm not aware of that. Can you open a new issue in Redmine for that to ensure it is not forgotten.

4 Last night's build/test was totally successful.

Clang, GCC, Visual Studio 2005/8/10/12/13/15 (x86 & x64) was 100% successful and includes webpimage.cpp/.hpp

5 We can probably start working on the test suite on Friday

When we resolve the difference between the Exif metadata appearing from Stonehenge2.webp and Stonehenge.jpg we'll be ready to start working on the test suite. And while you're figuring out the mysteriously missing metadata, I'll complete WebPImage::printStructure().

6 Other matters

I looked at your contribution to Gimp (themes and back porting them). And you've been active on other projects. I encourage you to spend a little time on OpenHub to be sure your other projects are monitored and that your "Kudos" rating reflects your contributions. You may need to register projects such as the themes and plugin with OpenHub. It's painless and free - just a little of your time.

I'll email Andreas about granting you write access to the repos. Can't guess or promise when (or even if) he will do that.

Thanks very much for doing this work. It will be appreciated by many. Don't expect anybody to thank you - however that doesn't mean that it isn't appreciated! As a matter of fact, I really only hear from folks about bugs and issues. Being thanked is very unusual. However, I do appreciate and say Thank You, Ben for getting involved with this.

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

1- If you get a chance maybe double check where i create the exif blob to see if did it right i may have missed something obvious. As for the actual data i was exporting from Gimp and it rewrites some data on export which i pass on to gexiv2 which gives it to exiv2 lib so its possible its also from there. As for the error message i'm not getting that on my end, all of them list fine. How was the file created?

2- Sounds good to me. You know better what you want there, i only did that to get things going and it helped me as well with those offsets because google doesn't follow their spec and pads any data payload with \0 on odd sized data chunks.

3- Not sure either but i think its the icc code which is ifdef'ed for the SVN version only. Not really high on my list just yet.

4- Sweet, good news.

5- Ok

6- Thanks for saying, and yeah i doesn't happen often enough considering the hours we pour into these apps. I will add a bit more on openhub once i figure it out and am done with this :) As for the repo well whenever it happens is good enough :)

#41

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

Right. I think we're in agreement here. The ICC code could be causing a leak. It shouldn't of course, however for sure it could. I think auto pointers are a horrible idea. Never too sure who owns the pointer - grrrr.

Incidentally I think SVN is always defined. If the build doesn't know, it sets it to 0.

I really don't know anything about your plugin or gexiv2. It's a useful additional test. Let's do our work with the exiv2 sample apps because we both have them. I created Stonehenge2.webp with the cwebp:

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

I'm starting to distrust cwebp because it fails to create lossless images as well as the error above. I think i found a work around for fetching the height by getting it from the first available frame chunk (Vp8/Vp8l/Anmf).

#43

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

We can also create proper webp files using webpmux

eg.

cwebp Stonehenge.jpg -o Stonehenge.webp
webpmux -set exif Stonehenge.exv Stonehenge.webp -o Stonehenge-exif.webp
webpmux -set xmp Stonehenge.xmp Stonehenge-exif.webp -o Stonehenge-exif-xmp.webp
webpmux -set icc Stonehenge.icc Stonehenge-exif-xmp.webp -o Stonehenge-exif-xmp-icc.webp

Our behaviour is a bit random.

3 webpmux is not good for creating test files

The problem is that webpmux doesn't know anything about metadata. It simply copies any data you give him into a chunk in the file.

4 What I'm going to do now

I'm going to focus on printStructure on the following three files.

5 Null padding blocks with odd length

I believe that's in the spec. I can't remember where I read that, however I'm confident that I read that on the libwebp web site.

1- The XMP chunk is filled with exif data. Probably why it fails like that :)

2- Nice, when i googled originally all i got back from the search results was total crap. Will fetch them and give them the once over and see whats there.

3- cwebp uses the same tricks to do it. But with webpmux you can create some specific files with any data.

4- Sounds better, i should have done that for the header part but i had a lot of other things on my mind. Going to sync up the code here with the repo after my first coffee.

5- Really i only found out after a lot of time reverse engineering a bunch of files with a hexeditor, it would have saved me considerable time if i had known before hand. Google really really sucks at documenting their APIs. sigh.

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Just discovered i can use svn to get a single subdirectory from any github project. In this case like so:

svn checkout https://github.com/drewnoakes/metadata-extractor-images/trunk/webp

Didn't know github actually support svn lol.

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Only these 3 files have metadata from that repo:

HTC Desire.webp (exif)
Nikon Coolpix P7000.webp (exif,xmp)
Nikon D1X.webp (exif)

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

I think i figured out why the warning about decoding exif; which has to do with the test for the header. Not sure how i'll tackle it just now.

#50

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

  • % Done changed from 40 to 50

Ah. I stumbled onto two of the three files by pure luck. -pR / -pX are working and tested. -pC is in the code and waiting for a test file. r4366

If I spend time on Exiv2 tomorrow, I will get murdered. I'll check email/Redmine/Skype. I'll try not to get sucked into anything.

Never worry about making mistakes and checking in code that's not right. The whole point of our test harness is to detect that. Of course, we haven't got any tests for your stuff yet, however nobody knows it's there anyway. And we're on the trunk which is a development branch. I try to keep it stable so that it will always build and pass our test suite.

I've drawn a blank on #1203. I'll deal with it in v0.27 next year. I closed #1202 today and printStructure() is working. A good day.

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Just read the for #1203, yep sounds a like a good one. As for the commits i'm not too worried but i prefer to do the work to fix stuff (if possible) before shipping it :)

I cleaned up a bunch of stuff while i was in there fix it. Oh and created a hexdump function that probably should go elsewhere in the but we can discuss that in chat. Prints two 8 byte wide hex sections and the ascii dump to the right of that. I needed that instead of opening the hex editor every two seconds to get the proper info from some of the chunks. Anyways it'll be in this commit.

#54

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

This looks fine, Ben. A couple of suggestions:

1 Move the hexDump code to the Internal namespace

We'll find a good use for this elsewhere in the code. Much as I have done for Internal::binaryToString(). I suggest a signature such as:

std::string Internal::binaryToHex(const byte*,size_t);

2 I'm surprised that you can parse Stonehenge3.webp

Is this what you refer to as a "long" header? I have my doubts that Stonehenge3.webp is a valid file. The EXIF data in a JPEG is stored in an APP1 segment and it's a 100% valid TIFF file. I think the WebP EXIF Chunk is a valid TIFF file (although it has no image). You can extract the TIFF with the utility dd (dastardly dangerous). dd is one of the most feared tools in Linux.

3 File Type Recognition

Exiv2 doesn't use the file extension to recognise a file type. It 'sniffs' inside the file. The ImageFactory has an array of filesTypes. He opens the file an calls the registered sniffer. For WebP it's isWebPType. If you say "I'm good with this", you handle it. The file extension is irrelevant.

907 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/trunk $ grep isWebPType src/*.cpp
src/image.cpp:        { ImageType::webp, newWebPInstance, isWebPType, amReadWrite, amNone,      amReadWrite, amNone      },
src/webpimage.cpp:        if (!isWebPType(*io_, true)) {
src/webpimage.cpp:        if (!isWebPType(*io_, true)) {
src/webpimage.cpp:    bool isWebPType(BasicIo& iIo, bool /*advance*/)

I've got a load of stuff to get done around the house and garden. Alison is painting. If I spend all day on the computer, she might throw it out the window. I'll be checking email and Redmine - so please ask if I can help you in some way.

I've spent about half my working life as the project leader and folks often say something like "I don't want to disturb you. You might get mad if I waste your time!". And my response is usually. "You are never disturbing me. I will get mad if I discover that your wheels are spinning and you didn't ask for help. If your wheels are spinning for more than 2 hours, I want to know about it!"

1- indeed i'll see what i can come up with.

2- hahaha, i use dd a lot, though for some tasks i now use pv when copying data as it gives me a progress bar. As for decoding i made it so it was more resilient with various forms of data i tried since the encoder (webpmux) doesn't care whats going in there i try to validate and preformat the data before feeding it to the exif decoder. That way it has a better chance of pulling out something useful. I could just let it fail though :)

3- Not sure what you mean here, i already have isWebPType sniffing the header to make sure its valid.

4- Sounds like a good idea :) and yeah that was a tough one early in my career, sadly some places and managers don't see it that way, you should already be an all knowing robot :/ Reminds me of this video i saw onj youtube last year, reminded me of quite a few meetings i was in on ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKorP55Aqvg

#56

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

Your WebP file sniffer is working perfectly. I was explaining how it worked and if you already knew that, well that's fine.

The webpmux bastardo. I'll have to look at him. If he's generating horrible files, we should handle them. However if the file is bad, we should reject it. Exiv2 philosophy: we report/modify/write perfect files. We don't forgive deviation from the standard - that's a very slippery slope.

The video is a hoot. I have a nightmare a couple of times every week about being back at work and being asked to do impossible things (like drawing red lines with blue ink). No matter how I try to negotiate, I cannot get the stakeholders to change the request.

The other nightmare is that when the project is done, the boss redefines the finish line with something new. For example, when I finish the new kitchen, the boss says "well, that's kind of OK, however you know that the bathroom is more important. Why has the bathroom not been done and you know it must be finished for guests arriving on Sunday! You don't know about the guests because you were so busy on the stupid kitchen that you didn't attend the meeting where we discussed the guests. Your communication skills need a lot of work."

I never miss work. I've got Exiv2 to keep my software skills alive. I love my wife and we're very happy to be working together to make our house perfect. Life is good - never been happier.

#57

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Ah ok i did know, figured it out after looking it the other file types when i started. Was momentarily confused, i blame it on not ingesting the "Coffee" before answering :)

Wepbmux just stuffs whatever it gets told to put in there i don't think they do any validation from the quick test i've done (actually just look at what it let through for the XMP chunk in Stonehenge3.webp for another example). When i encode the exif not sure i've got it just right, though it works now, it feels off.

I used to have similar dreams after my last official job. When saw that video the first i both laughed and cringed having been in similar situations.

Yeah its good to have projects, keeps the mind active and skills sharp. I'm glad for you and that's a good thing you get along with the 'boss' so well :)

#60

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

I think you should ask Alan about this exif/xmp stuff. If we do that for jpg and tiff, we should do it for webp.

There are a couple of features of Exiv2 that I wish had never been added to the code base: Lens Recognition and conversion functions. The reason I dislike these features is that the metadata is "cooked up" by the code and not in the file itself. Both are troublesome. Lens Recognition is probably 50% of the issues reported in Redmine. Because of my background in compilers/interpreters, I never try to guess what the code being compiled might mean. If it's a syntax violation, I signal an error and leave the human to deal with it.

#61

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

I'll double check whats done there and ask if its not clear.

Is there somewhere, or resource i could read up on lens recognition (aside from the code lol)? I know that past versions of Photoshop also had issues with one of my lenses when doing lens correction in Camera Raw. I'd have to try it with a recent version of it.

I just dislike messy warnings of any kind, i find it irritating, not that i always correct them but yeah :)

#62

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

There's not much to the Lens Recognition. It's easy to understand. The manufacturer is meant to set a unique LensId in the metadata

938 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/trunk $ exiv2 -pa --grep LensID/i ~/Stonehenge.jpg 
Exif.NikonLd3.LensIDNumber                   Byte        1  Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS Macro HSM
939 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/trunk $ exiv2 -pv --grep LensID/i ~/Stonehenge.jpg 
0x000c NikonLd3     LensIDNumber                Byte        1  146
940 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/trunk $
There are two horrible consequences:

1) Every manufacturer uses a different way to store this. For Nikon, it's Exif.NikonLd3.LensIDNumber, Sony it's Exif.Sony1.LensID
2) Often, the same ID is used for several different lenses, so we need to inspect the other metadata to guess what lens is being used.

947 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/trunk $ 
The maintenance of non-unique lensIDs is very troublesome. Anybody using Exiv2 who goes and buys a nice new lens is very likely to discover that we don't know about it. They raise an issue on Redmine.

For v0.26, we have a great new feature. The user has a "config" file ~/.exiv2 which can be updated on his machine. http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/1034

I don't think we use those copy/convertor.cpp functions for other image types, so lets not use them in webp.

I don't believe the EXIF chunk in test/data/exiv2-bug1199.webp is valid. It think it should be a TIFF. I've based this believe on the EXIF in this file:

I believe the EXIF chunk has 10 bytes which should not be there.

I've extracted the metadata, shortened the EXIF chunk and reassembled the file as follows:

$ cp test/data/exiv2-bug1199.webp 1199.webp
$ webpmux -get icc 1199.webp -o 1199.icc
$ webpmux -get exif 1199.webp -o 1199.exif

$ cp 1199-3.webp test/data/exiv2-bug1199.webp 
The modified file test/data/exiv2-bug1199.webp is now 10 bytes shorter. I've updated the test suite appropriately. I've updated the Wiki/WEBP page http://dev.exiv2.org/projects/exiv2/wiki/The_Metadata_in_WEBP_files

The new file looks correctly formatted with the TIFF in the EXIF chunk. Oddly, the XMP and EXIF chunks are different. Dumping and comparing the metadata reveals:

I think your new file is fine. I will not change test/data/exiv2-bug1199.webp at this time as I believe it is already working perfectly. Your new file contains slightly different metadata, however there's nothing substantially different.

I know that exiv2 -dC test/data/exiv2-bug1199.webp isn't working. I will fix that today.

#83

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

The difference is probably due to my removing the iptc conversion code to/from xmp. After a fitful night, decided to remove it, apps should handle that themselves and seeing as Google didn't included iptc support in the spec at this time i guess you were right

Ben

Right. I've submitted some fixes. r4416

Testing always seems like a good idea to me. Here's the status:

1 Refactored bugfixes-test.sh into webp-test.sh

You can run "our tests" with $ make webp-test and you don't to wait for the suite to grind through all the bugs

2 Issues with actions.cpp/actions.hpp

I've made some changes to this. There are two options for inserting XMP -ix and -iX:

a) $ exiv2 -iX foo.xxx
- this reads foo.xmp (which must be XML) and copies it into the foo.xxx

b) $ exiv2 -ix foo.xxx (not working correctly, discussion below)
- this reads foo.exv and updates the XMP in foo.xxx with the XMP from foo.exv
- you can create foo.exv with $ exiv2 --force --verbose -ea foo.xxx

c) $ cat foo.xmp | exiv2 -ix- foo.xxx (probably not working at all)
- the reads something from stdin and puts it somewhere
- we should get this to "sniff" the data in stdin
- this is off topic. Please don't spend time on this. I'll fix this soon.

3 Changes to webpimage.cpp

Have a look. Nothing major. Ask if you want me to explain any of the changes.

4 Moving forward

I'm a bit lost with this. If you'd like to investigate with the debugger. Or I'll fix it tomorrow.

#89

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

1 - sweet, still need to figure that damned library issue i mentioned.
2ab - so many combinations i haven't explored yet :)
2c - does exiv2 validate xml?
4- I had that happening yesterday after your changes, the recast when writing data seemed to have been failing and basically wasn't writing anything so the offsets were wrong due to the chunk not having any data that it said it had. Probably something bad along those lines here, will give a once over.

#90

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

The exiv2 utility is a feature rich thing. At the moment, I don't validate XMP, and perhaps I never will. If you want to put any load of binary code into the XMP storage location, I don't see any reason to prevent you!

There's definitely something not nice happening in WebPImage::writeMetadata(). We'll find it. We'll fix it. No question about it.

I'm rather happy to be working on this. It's brought me back to exploring this ix -iX -iX ix calculus. For sure I want to get all that magic functioning correctly for v0.26 and properly tested in the test suite.

I'm not surprised by the time that this is taking. I wanted to defer this to v0.27 and focus on getting v0.26 out the door. We'll get this fixed AND we'll get v0.26 finished. However, I know that very soon I will get an email from somebody saying "why isn't v0.26 finished yet?". I might not get paid, however there are many folks using Exiv2. One of them will be urgently waiting for one of the new features in v0.26.

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Indeed an intricate weave of functionality so of course there's lots of plumbing to work on lol.

I hear ya on the time-frame. People get funny about that even when it's freely given. At the time when i first submitted the patch i didn't realize that or the level of intricacy hidden behind exiv2, i figured at the time it was just going to be another quick hi/bye thanks for the code situation, i guess learned differently :)

The size is wrong in the RIFF header vs actual file size. Will investigate further in the morning

#98

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

Loads of changes to deal with the padding byte. Please review: r4418

Comments:

1 TAG_SIZE

I've moved TAG_SIZE to include/exiv2/webpimage.hpp and initialised it in WebPImage::WebPImage(). Can you have a look at all those 4s in the code.

2 Height/Width

I'm puzzled by the code for decoding height and width. There are 4's and 7's in the code. 3 byte littleEndians or something. Can you put a comment in the code about this. Perhaps you should say something about it in the Wiki: http://dev.exiv2.org/projects/exiv2/wiki/The_Metadata_in_WEBP_files

3 Symbols for Bits in the header

I see there's some bit twiddling going on. I think you're setting flags to say "I've got an ICCP" or something like that. Can you give those values symbolic names using an enum in include/exiv2/webpimage.hpp.

4 Gotta be just about there now

a) Can you go over the code again, please. I suspect we can remove about 200 lines by refactoring repeated code into functions. For example when we write XMP and EXIF near line 365.

b) I'm also bothered about testing io_->eof() and io->size(). I'd like to see us navigate the file using file size from the RIFF header.

c) I personally never use 'break' except in switch/case. 'break' is a goto kind of thing.

5 What I'm going to do

a) Something broke yesterday in test/conversions.sh Groan. I'll investigate.

b) I think I have Gilles' multithreading issue off my back #1207

c) I'll deal with stdin/stdout such as -iX- and the like. It's related to this, however it's a different matter.

#99

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

1- noticed no problemo
2- I have to decode it from the chunks available and reinsert when creating a new VP8X chunk, unavoidable
3- Yes i can do
4a- I can double check
4b- No it needs to be done because we need the new size from the actual data we write back.
4c- Yeah to break out of a while loop you need to break;

I noticed you removed a critical check at the end of the chunk reading code in writeMetaData and was in there because we need read and account for the damned padding character. Now it will break again on odd size chunks by not account for that byte.

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

nevermind i saw what you did further up in the code.

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

For the width & heights unfortunately they encode it into 28 bits of 32bit field so there's lots of bit shifting to get the actual sizes.

Updated by Ben Touchette over 5 years ago

Updated, fixed and commented, all the tests run 100%.

Updated by Robin Mills over 5 years ago

Some polishing - r4421. Please review. Apologies if I've accidentally broken your code.

I think we're now "done" on this. I believe we've successfully carried out our plan above: http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/1199#note-12
