9Description:
10============
11
12WebP codec: library to encode and decode images in WebP format. This package
13contains the library that can be used in other programs to add WebP support,
14as well as the command line tools 'cwebp' and 'dwebp'.
15
16See http://developers.google.com/speed/webp
17
18The latest source tree is available at
19https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libwebp
20
21It is released under the same license as the WebM project.
22See http://www.webmproject.org/license/software/ or the
23"COPYING" file for details. An additional intellectual
24property rights grant can be found in the file PATENTS.

26Building:
27=========
28
29Windows build:
30--------------
31
32By running:
33
34  nmake /f Makefile.vc CFG=release-static RTLIBCFG=static OBJDIR=output
35
36the directory output\release-static\(x64|x86)\bin will contain the tools
37cwebp.exe and dwebp.exe. The directory output\release-static\(x64|x86)\lib will
38contain the libwebp static library.
39The target architecture (x86/x64) is detected by Makefile.vc from the Visual
40Studio compiler (cl.exe) available in the system path.
41
42Unix build using makefile.unix:
43-------------------------------
44
45On platforms with GNU tools installed (gcc and make), running
46
47  make -f makefile.unix
48
49will build the binaries examples/cwebp and examples/dwebp, along
50with the static library src/libwebp.a. No system-wide installation
51is supplied, as this is a simple alternative to the full installation
52system based on the autoconf tools (see below).
53Please refer to makefile.unix for additional details and customizations.
54
55Using autoconf tools:
56---------------------
57Prerequisites:
58A compiler (e.g., gcc), make, autoconf, automake, libtool.
59On a Debian-like system the following should install everything you need for a
60minimal build:
61$ sudo apt-get install gcc make autoconf automake libtool
62
63When building from git sources, you will need to run autogen.sh to generate the
64configure script.
65
66./configure
67make
68make install
69
70should be all you need to have the following files
71
72/usr/local/include/webp/decode.h
73/usr/local/include/webp/encode.h
74/usr/local/include/webp/types.h
75/usr/local/lib/libwebp.*
76/usr/local/bin/cwebp
77/usr/local/bin/dwebp
78
79installed.
80
81Note: A decode-only library, libwebpdecoder, is available using the
82'--enable-libwebpdecoder' flag. The encode library is built separately and can
83be installed independently using a minor modification in the corresponding
84Makefile.am configure files (see comments there). See './configure --help' for
85more options.

111make
112make install
113
114CMake:
115------
116The support for CMake is minimal: it only helps you compile libwebp, cwebp and
117dwebp.
118
119Prerequisites:
120A compiler (e.g., gcc with autotools) and CMake.
121On a Debian-like system the following should install everything you need for a
122minimal build:
123$ sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake
124
125When building from git sources, you will need to run cmake to generate the
126configure script.
127
128mkdir build && cd build && cmake ../
129make
130make install
131
132If you also want cwebp or dwebp, you will need to enable them through CMake:
133
134cmake -DWEBP_BUILD_CWEBP=ON -DWEBP_BUILD_DWEBP=ON ../
135
136or through your favorite interface (like ccmake or cmake-qt-gui).
137
138Gradle:
139-------
140The support for Gradle is minimal: it only helps you compile libwebp, cwebp and
141dwebp and webpmux_example.
142
143Prerequisites:
144A compiler (e.g., gcc with autotools) and gradle.
145On a Debian-like system the following should install everything you need for a
146minimal build:
147$ sudo apt-get install build-essential gradle
148
149When building from git sources, you will need to run the Gradle wrapper with the
150appropriate target, e.g. :
151
152./gradlew buildAllExecutables
153
154SWIG bindings:
155--------------
156
157To generate language bindings from swig/libwebp.swig at least swig-1.3
158(http://www.swig.org) is required.
159
160Currently the following functions are mapped:
161Decode:
162  WebPGetDecoderVersion
163  WebPGetInfo
164  WebPDecodeRGBA
165  WebPDecodeARGB
166  WebPDecodeBGRA
167  WebPDecodeBGR
168  WebPDecodeRGB
169
170Encode:
171  WebPGetEncoderVersion
172  WebPEncodeRGBA
173  WebPEncodeBGRA
174  WebPEncodeRGB
175  WebPEncodeBGR
176  WebPEncodeLosslessRGBA
177  WebPEncodeLosslessBGRA
178  WebPEncodeLosslessRGB
179  WebPEncodeLosslessBGR
180
181See swig/README for more detailed build instructions.
182
183Java bindings:
184
185To build the swig-generated JNI wrapper code at least JDK-1.5 (or equivalent)
186is necessary for enum support. The output is intended to be a shared object /
187DLL that can be loaded via System.loadLibrary("webp_jni").
188
189Python bindings:
190
191To build the swig-generated Python extension code at least Python 2.6 is
192required. Python < 2.6 may build with some minor changes to libwebp.swig or the
193generated code, but is untested.
194
195Encoding tool:
196==============
197
198The examples/ directory contains tools for encoding (cwebp) and
199decoding (dwebp) images.
200
201The easiest use should look like:
202  cwebp input.png -q 80 -o output.webp
203which will convert the input file to a WebP file using a quality factor of 80
204on a 0->100 scale (0 being the lowest quality, 100 being the best. Default
205value is 75).
206You might want to try the -lossless flag too, which will compress the source
207(in RGBA format) without any loss. The -q quality parameter will in this case
208control the amount of processing time spent trying to make the output file as
209small as possible.
210
211A longer list of options is available using the -longhelp command line flag:
212
213> cwebp -longhelp
214Usage:
215 cwebp [-preset <...>] [options] in_file [-o out_file]
216
217If input size (-s) for an image is not specified, it is
218assumed to be a PNG, JPEG, TIFF or WebP file.
219
220Options:
221  -h / -help ............. short help

228                            drawing, icon, text
229     -preset must come first, as it overwrites other parameters

284  -jpeg_like ............. roughly match expected JPEG size
285  -af .................... auto-adjust filter strength
286  -pre <int> ............. pre-processing filter
287
288The main options you might want to try in order to further tune the
289visual quality are:
290 -preset
291 -sns
292 -f
293 -m
294
295Namely:
296  * 'preset' will set up a default encoding configuration targeting a
297     particular type of input. It should appear first in the list of options,
298     so that subsequent options can take effect on top of this preset.
299     Default value is 'default'.
300  * 'sns' will progressively turn on (when going from 0 to 100) some additional
301     visual optimizations (like: segmentation map re-enforcement). This option
302     will balance the bit allocation differently. It tries to take bits from the
303     "easy" parts of the picture and use them in the "difficult" ones instead.
304     Usually, raising the sns value (at fixed -q value) leads to larger files,
305     but with better quality.
306     Typical value is around '75'.
307  * 'f' option directly links to the filtering strength used by the codec's
308     in-loop processing. The higher the value, the smoother the
309     highly-compressed area will look. This is particularly useful when aiming
310     at very small files. Typical values are around 20-30. Note that using the
311     option -strong/-nostrong will change the type of filtering. Use "-f 0" to
312     turn filtering off.
313  * 'm' controls the trade-off between encoding speed and quality. Default is 4.
314     You can try -m 5 or -m 6 to explore more (time-consuming) encoding
315     possibilities. A lower value will result in faster encoding at the expense
316     of quality.
317
318Decoding tool:
319==============
320
321There is a decoding sample in examples/dwebp.c which will take
322a .webp file and decode it to a PNG image file (amongst other formats).
323This is simply to demonstrate the use of the API. You can verify the
324file test.webp decodes to exactly the same as test_ref.ppm by using:
325
326 cd examples
327 ./dwebp test.webp -ppm -o test.ppm
328 diff test.ppm test_ref.ppm
329
330The full list of options is available using -h:
331
332> dwebp -h
333Usage: dwebp in_file [options] [-o out_file]
334
335Decodes the WebP image file to PNG format [Default]
336Use following options to convert into alternate image formats:
337  -pam ......... save the raw RGBA samples as a color PAM
338  -ppm ......... save the raw RGB samples as a color PPM
339  -bmp ......... save as uncompressed BMP format
340  -tiff ........ save as uncompressed TIFF format

342                 file with IMC4 layout
343  -yuv ......... save the raw YUV samples in flat layout
344
345 Other options are:
346  -version ..... print version number and exit
347  -nofancy ..... don't use the fancy YUV420 upscaler
348  -nofilter .... disable in-loop filtering
349  -nodither .... disable dithering
350  -dither <d> .. dithering strength (in 0..100)
351  -alpha_dither  use alpha-plane dithering if needed
352  -mt .......... use multi-threading
353  -crop <x> <y> <w> <h> ... crop output with the given rectangle
354  -resize <w> <h> ......... scale the output (*after* any cropping)
355  -flip ........ flip the output vertically
356  -alpha ....... only save the alpha plane
357  -incremental . use incremental decoding (useful for tests)
358  -h ........... this help message
359  -v ........... verbose (e.g. print encoding/decoding times)
360  -quiet ....... quiet mode, don't print anything
361  -noasm ....... disable all assembly optimizations
362
363Visualization tool:
364===================
365
366There's a little self-serve visualization tool called 'vwebp' under the
367examples/ directory. It uses OpenGL to open a simple drawing window and show
368a decoded WebP file. It's not yet integrated in the automake build system, but
369you can try to manually compile it using the recommendations below.
370
371Usage: vwebp in_file [options]
372
373Decodes the WebP image file and visualize it using OpenGL
374Options are:
375  -version ..... print version number and exit
376  -noicc ....... don't use the icc profile if present
377  -nofancy ..... don't use the fancy YUV420 upscaler
378  -nofilter .... disable in-loop filtering
379  -dither <int>  dithering strength (0..100), default=50
380  -noalphadither disable alpha plane dithering
381  -mt .......... use multi-threading
382  -info ........ print info
383  -h ........... this help message
384
385Keyboard shortcuts:

512Encoding API:
513=============
514
515The main encoding functions are available in the header src/webp/encode.h
516The ready-to-use ones are:
517size_t WebPEncodeRGB(const uint8_t* rgb, int width, int height, int stride,
518                     float quality_factor, uint8_t** output);
519size_t WebPEncodeBGR(const uint8_t* bgr, int width, int height, int stride,
520                     float quality_factor, uint8_t** output);
521size_t WebPEncodeRGBA(const uint8_t* rgba, int width, int height, int stride,
522                      float quality_factor, uint8_t** output);
523size_t WebPEncodeBGRA(const uint8_t* bgra, int width, int height, int stride,
524                      float quality_factor, uint8_t** output);
525
526They will convert raw RGB samples to a WebP data. The only control supplied
527is the quality factor.
528
529There are some variants for using the lossless format:
530
531size_t WebPEncodeLosslessRGB(const uint8_t* rgb, int width, int height,
532                             int stride, uint8_t** output);
533size_t WebPEncodeLosslessBGR(const uint8_t* bgr, int width, int height,
534                             int stride, uint8_t** output);
535size_t WebPEncodeLosslessRGBA(const uint8_t* rgba, int width, int height,
536                              int stride, uint8_t** output);
537size_t WebPEncodeLosslessBGRA(const uint8_t* bgra, int width, int height,
538                              int stride, uint8_t** output);
539
540Of course in this case, no quality factor is needed since the compression
541occurs without loss of the input values, at the expense of larger output sizes.
542
543Advanced encoding API:
544----------------------
545
546A more advanced API is based on the WebPConfig and WebPPicture structures.
547
548WebPConfig contains the encoding settings and is not tied to a particular
549picture.
550WebPPicture contains input data, on which some WebPConfig will be used for
551compression.
552The encoding flow looks like:
553
554-------------------------------------- BEGIN PSEUDO EXAMPLE
555
556#include <webp/encode.h>
557
558  // Setup a config, starting form a preset and tuning some additional
559  // parameters
560  WebPConfig config;
561  if (!WebPConfigPreset(&config, WEBP_PRESET_PHOTO, quality_factor))
562    return 0;   // version error
563  }
564  // ... additional tuning
565  config.sns_strength = 90;
566  config.filter_sharpness = 6;
567  config_error = WebPValidateConfig(&config);  // not mandatory, but useful
568
569  // Setup the input data
570  WebPPicture pic;
571  if (!WebPPictureInit(&pic)) {
572    return 0;  // version error
573  }
574  pic.width = width;
575  pic.height = height;
576  // allocated picture of dimension width x height
577  if (!WebPPictureAllocate(&pic)) {
578    return 0;   // memory error
579  }
580  // at this point, 'pic' has been initialized as a container,
581  // and can receive the Y/U/V samples.
582  // Alternatively, one could use ready-made import functions like
583  // WebPPictureImportRGB(), which will take care of memory allocation.
584  // In any case, past this point, one will have to call
585  // WebPPictureFree(&pic) to reclaim memory.
586
587  // Set up a byte-output write method. WebPMemoryWriter, for instance.
588  WebPMemoryWriter wrt;
589  WebPMemoryWriterInit(&wrt);     // initialize 'wrt'
590
591  pic.writer = MyFileWriter;
592  pic.custom_ptr = my_opaque_structure_to_make_MyFileWriter_work;
593
594  // Compress!
595  int ok = WebPEncode(&config, &pic);   // ok = 0 => error occurred!
596  WebPPictureFree(&pic);  // must be called independently of the 'ok' result.
597
598  // output data should have been handled by the writer at that point.
599  // -> compressed data is the memory buffer described by wrt.mem / wrt.size
600
601  // deallocate the memory used by compressed data
602  WebPMemoryWriterClear(&wrt);
603
604-------------------------------------- END PSEUDO EXAMPLE
605
606Decoding API:
607=============
608
609This is mainly just one function to call:
610
611#include "webp/decode.h"
612uint8_t* WebPDecodeRGB(const uint8_t* data, size_t data_size,
613                       int* width, int* height);
614
615Please have a look at the file src/webp/decode.h for the details.
616There are variants for decoding in BGR/RGBA/ARGB/BGRA order, along with
617decoding to raw Y'CbCr samples. One can also decode the image directly into a
618pre-allocated buffer.
619
620To detect a WebP file and gather the picture's dimensions, the function:
621  int WebPGetInfo(const uint8_t* data, size_t data_size,
622                  int* width, int* height);
623is supplied. No decoding is involved when using it.
624
625Incremental decoding API:
626=========================
627
628In the case when data is being progressively transmitted, pictures can still
629be incrementally decoded using a slightly more complicated API. Decoder state
630is stored into an instance of the WebPIDecoder object. This object can be
631created with the purpose of decoding either RGB or Y'CbCr samples.
632For instance:
633
634  WebPDecBuffer buffer;
635  WebPInitDecBuffer(&buffer);
636  buffer.colorspace = MODE_BGR;
637  ...
638  WebPIDecoder* idec = WebPINewDecoder(&buffer);
639
640As data is made progressively available, this incremental-decoder object
641can be used to decode the picture further. There are two (mutually exclusive)
642ways to pass freshly arrived data:
643
644either by appending the fresh bytes:
645
646  WebPIAppend(idec, fresh_data, size_of_fresh_data);
647
648or by just mentioning the new size of the transmitted data:
649
650  WebPIUpdate(idec, buffer, size_of_transmitted_buffer);
651
652Note that 'buffer' can be modified between each call to WebPIUpdate, in
653particular when the buffer is resized to accommodate larger data.
654
655These functions will return the decoding status: either VP8_STATUS_SUSPENDED if
656decoding is not finished yet or VP8_STATUS_OK when decoding is done. Any other
657status is an error condition.
658
659The 'idec' object must always be released (even upon an error condition) by
660calling: WebPDelete(idec).
661
662To retrieve partially decoded picture samples, one must use the corresponding
663method: WebPIDecGetRGB or WebPIDecGetYUVA.
664It will return the last displayable pixel row.
665
666Lastly, note that decoding can also be performed into a pre-allocated pixel
667buffer. This buffer must be passed when creating a WebPIDecoder, calling
668WebPINewRGB() or WebPINewYUVA().
669
670Please have a look at the src/webp/decode.h header for further details.
671
672Advanced Decoding API:
673======================
674
675WebP decoding supports an advanced API which provides on-the-fly cropping and
676rescaling, something of great usefulness on memory-constrained environments like
677mobile phones. Basically, the memory usage will scale with the output's size,
678not the input's, when one only needs a quick preview or a zoomed in portion of
679an otherwise too-large picture. Some CPU can be saved too, incidentally.
680
681-------------------------------------- BEGIN PSEUDO EXAMPLE
682     // A) Init a configuration object
683     WebPDecoderConfig config;
684     CHECK(WebPInitDecoderConfig(&config));
685
686     // B) optional: retrieve the bitstream's features.
687     CHECK(WebPGetFeatures(data, data_size, &config.input) == VP8_STATUS_OK);
688
689     // C) Adjust 'config' options, if needed
690     config.options.no_fancy_upsampling = 1;
691     config.options.use_scaling = 1;
692     config.options.scaled_width = scaledWidth();
693     config.options.scaled_height = scaledHeight();
694     // etc.
695
696     // D) Specify 'config' output options for specifying output colorspace.
697     // Optionally the external image decode buffer can also be specified.
698     config.output.colorspace = MODE_BGRA;
699     // Optionally, the config.output can be pointed to an external buffer as
700     // well for decoding the image. This externally supplied memory buffer
701     // should be big enough to store the decoded picture.
702     config.output.u.RGBA.rgba = (uint8_t*) memory_buffer;
703     config.output.u.RGBA.stride = scanline_stride;
704     config.output.u.RGBA.size = total_size_of_the_memory_buffer;
705     config.output.is_external_memory = 1;
706
707     // E) Decode the WebP image. There are two variants w.r.t decoding image.
708     // The first one (E.1) decodes the full image and the second one (E.2) is
709     // used to incrementally decode the image using small input buffers.
710     // Any one of these steps can be used to decode the WebP image.
711
712     // E.1) Decode full image.
713     CHECK(WebPDecode(data, data_size, &config) == VP8_STATUS_OK);
714
715     // E.2) Decode image incrementally.
716     WebPIDecoder* const idec = WebPIDecode(NULL, NULL, &config);
717     CHECK(idec != NULL);
718     while (bytes_remaining > 0) {
719       VP8StatusCode status = WebPIAppend(idec, input, bytes_read);
720       if (status == VP8_STATUS_OK || status == VP8_STATUS_SUSPENDED) {
721         bytes_remaining -= bytes_read;
722       } else {
723         break;
724       }
725     }
726     WebPIDelete(idec);
727
728     // F) Decoded image is now in config.output (and config.output.u.RGBA).
729     // It can be saved, displayed or otherwise processed.
730
731     // G) Reclaim memory allocated in config's object. It's safe to call
732     // this function even if the memory is external and wasn't allocated
733     // by WebPDecode().
734     WebPFreeDecBuffer(&config.output);

5Local modifications:
6- Rewrite Android.mk to remove duplicate definitions and set module name
7  in a consistent way with other external libraries
8- Copy public headers from src/webp to include/webp, so path to headers
9  may be appended into CFLAGS without risk for other private headers
10  (e.g. bits.h) to leak into
11- Removed build files necessary for building via autoconf/automake tools
12  These files are not required to build via Android.mk
13- Undefine WEBP_ANDROID_NEON on Android targets and use __ARM_NEON__
14  instead.
