How to create a TIFF image from a binary raw data
huayingyang@gmail.com - 19 Oct 2007 16:44 GMT Hello all, I am having difficulty creating a TIFF Image file from a binary raw data. I tried to used ImageIO or ImageJ but with no luck. My implementation is as follows:
import javax.imageio.*; import javax.imageio.stream.*; import ij.ImagePlus; import ij.io.Opener; import java.io.*; import java.awt.Image;
protected Image load(byte[] data) { ByteArrayInputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(data); Image image = null; try { // Using ImageIO //image = ImageIO.read(is); //ImageWaiter.wait(image);
// Using ImageJ ImagePlus imagej = new Opener().openTiff(is, "cmfdata"); if (imagej != null) { image = imagej.getImage(); } } catch (Throwable e) { System.out.println("Error occurs"); image = null; } return image; }
If you can spot something wrong with above code, please kindly inform me. Any thoughtful ideas are greatly appreciated.

<dws>Was that 'thoughtful' enough?</dws>

huayingyang@gmail.com - 19 Oct 2007 19:07 GMT Hello,
Thank you for your response. I don't know how you compiled the load method. I used Eclipse and there is no compilation error. The problem is that this method doesn't work as expected, i.e. image is always equal to null. I am looking for a way to create a TIFF image from raw binary data...
Thanks, Helen

Where is the class declaration?
The code you posted will not compile in Eclipse or anywhere else.

1. You wish to construct a java.awt.Image from a TIFF file, or from an array of bytes which represent the contents of a valid TIFF file.
Please run the following small program, if it does not output something like tif, tiff, TIF, or TIFF, you probably cannot use java.imageio.ImageIO.read.
I am not familiar with ImageJ.
You might be able to use Java Advanced Imaging. A (naive) example follows at the end of this post.
public class PrintReaders { public static void main(String[] args) { for (String s : ImageIO.getReaderFormatNames()) System.out.println(s); } }
2. You have an array of bytes which represent some image data, and you wish to construct a TIFF file from this (raw) data.
First you will need to determine exactly what kind of data you have, and whether the TIF format is able to accomodate this type of data. See the TIFF specification at: <http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/tiff/index.html>
You will then need to write the appropriate TIFF metadata and data to a file. You can do this manually or perhaps there is some Java language API to do this.
3. You have some (raw) data from a device, such as a camera or scanner you wish to convert to a TIFF file.
There is probably some software associated with the device that will convert the raw data to a TIFF file. Else, see: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAW_image_format> for some introductory discussion on raw image data, if you are not already familiar with it.

Would you mind telling your variations? I swiped the code (with slight variations) from the JAI-Demo project - JAIImageReader.java.

<beseechingly> You'll have to forgive my failure to wrap those calls to Swing methods in a Runnable, (shrugs) or perhaps not. In any case, I am confident you are capable of doing that yourself, and I wanted to post the code *exactly* as I'd seen it work.
Oh, and if I was going to take it beyond 'absolutely trivial' changes, I would probably swap that first input dialog for a JFileChooser. </beseechingly>
>I swiped the code (with slight variations) from the >JAI-Demo project - JAIImageReader.java. >The source can be viewed here: ><http://preview.tinyurl.com/yubqol> Cool. Thanks to 'aastha' for the original code, and you for the alterations and link. That was actually the first time I'd played with JAI, your post 'inspired me'. :-)

Or perhaps to an URL pulling an image directly off the World Wild Web. There seem to be a few 'floating about'. <http://images.google.com/images?output=images&as_filetype=tif>

I need to create a TIFF image from a binary array known consisting of a valid TIFF file.

I ran your program and it worked well with TIFF image file! It still doesn't work for my binary raw data array though. I got this byte array from a X9 file, which is in ASCII format. The image data of this x9 file consists of 8 bytes of Image header and the rest are Raster data.

Check Image data is contained in the x9 file. To be more precise, the TIFF image data presented in the X9 file is binary stream. I am trying to figure out how to create a TIFF image from the byte array read from the x9 file. Hope this will make more sense.
huayingyang@gmail.com - 22 Oct 2007 20:56 GMT Your code works perfectly when I only used the Raster image data part to create a TIFF file. Thanks to everyone's participation!
