Detailed Description

abstract base class for a codec object that can be registered in dcmdata and performs transfer syntax transformation (i.e.

compressing, decompressing or transcoding between different compressed transfer syntaxes). When dcmdata is requested to write a transfer syntax that differs from the current one (i.e. the one in which the object was read), dcmdata dynamically searches for a DcmCodec object that is able to create the desired transfer syntax. If no suitable codec is found, the write operation fails.

Member Function Documentation

virtual OFBool DcmCodec::canChangeCoding	(	const E_TransferSyntax	oldRepType,
		const E_TransferSyntax	newRepType
	)		const

pure virtual

checks if this codec is able to convert from the given current transfer syntax to the given new transfer syntax

Parameters

oldRepType	current transfer syntax
newRepType	desired new transfer syntax

Returns: true if transformation is supported by this codec, false otherwise.

Implemented in DJCodecEncoder, DJCodecDecoder, DJLSEncoderBase, DJLSDecoderBase, DcmRLECodecEncoder, and DcmRLECodecDecoder.

static OFCondition DcmCodec::convertToSecondaryCapture ( DcmItem * dataset )

static

helper function that converts a dataset containing a DICOM image into a valid (standard extended) Secondary Capture object by inserting all attributes that are type 1/2 in Secondary Capture and missing in the source dataset.

Replaces SOP Class UID by Secondary Capture. It does not, however, change an existing SOP Instance UID.

Parameters

dataset dataset to insert to, must not be NULL.

Returns: EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

virtual OFCondition DcmCodec::decode	(	const DcmRepresentationParameter *	fromRepParam,
		DcmPixelSequence *	pixSeq,
		DcmPolymorphOBOW &	uncompressedPixelData,
		const DcmCodecParameter *	cp,
		const DcmStack &	objStack
	)		const

pure virtual

decompresses the given pixel sequence and stores the result in the given uncompressedPixelData element.

Parameters

fromRepParam	current representation parameter of compressed data, may be NULL
pixSeq	compressed pixel sequence
uncompressedPixelData	uncompressed pixel data stored in this element
cp	codec parameters for this codec
objStack	stack pointing to the location of the pixel data element in the current dataset.

Returns: EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise.

Implemented in DJCodecEncoder, DJCodecDecoder, DJLSEncoderBase, DJLSDecoderBase, DcmRLECodecEncoder, and DcmRLECodecDecoder.

virtual OFCondition DcmCodec::decodeFrame	(	const DcmRepresentationParameter *	fromParam,
		DcmPixelSequence *	fromPixSeq,
		const DcmCodecParameter *	cp,
		DcmItem *	dataset,
		Uint32	frameNo,
		Uint32 &	startFragment,
		void *	buffer,
		Uint32	bufSize,
		OFString &	decompressedColorModel
	)		const

pure virtual

decompresses a single frame from the given pixel sequence and stores the result in the given buffer.

Parameters

fromParam	representation parameter of current compressed representation, may be NULL.
fromPixSeq	compressed pixel sequence
cp	codec parameters for this codec
dataset	pointer to dataset in which pixel data element is contained
frameNo	number of frame, starting with 0 for the first frame
startFragment	index of the compressed fragment that contains all or the first part of the compressed bitstream for the given frameNo. Upon successful return this parameter is updated to contain the index of the first compressed fragment of the next frame. When unknown, zero should be passed. In this case the decompression algorithm will try to determine the index by itself, which will always work if frames are decompressed in increasing order from first to last, but may fail if frames are decompressed in random order, multiple fragments per frame and multiple frames are present in the dataset, and the offset table is empty.
buffer	pointer to buffer where frame is to be stored
bufSize	size of buffer in bytes
decompressedColorModel	upon successful return, the color model of the decompressed image (which may be different from the one used in the compressed images) is returned in this parameter.

Returns: EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise.

Implemented in DJCodecEncoder, DJCodecDecoder, DJLSEncoderBase, DJLSDecoderBase, DcmRLECodecEncoder, and DcmRLECodecDecoder.

virtual OFCondition DcmCodec::determineDecompressedColorModel	(	const DcmRepresentationParameter *	fromParam,
		DcmPixelSequence *	fromPixSeq,
		const DcmCodecParameter *	cp,
		DcmItem *	dataset,

	)		const

pure virtual

determine color model of the decompressed image

Parameters

fromParam	representation parameter of current compressed representation, may be NULL
fromPixSeq	compressed pixel sequence
cp	codec parameters for this codec
dataset	pointer to dataset in which pixel data element is contained
dataset	pointer to DICOM dataset in which this pixel data object is located. Used to access photometric interpretation.

Returns: EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

Implemented in DJCodecEncoder, DJCodecDecoder, DJLSEncoderBase, DJLSDecoderBase, DcmRLECodecEncoder, and DcmRLECodecDecoder.
