The ArcGIS Server Image Server class.

Description

This object is new at ArcGIS 9.3.

Remarks

The ImageServer server object provides the implementation of the image service, and supports IImageServer interface. The IImageServer interface is used to query the service information, and fetch pixels. The pixels are returned in a byte array and arranged in a band interleaved by pixel format plus a NoData mask. The byte array can be optionally compressed using JPEG (plus transparency), and LZ77 compression.

This interface also supports exporting an image into a well-known format and returning it as MIME data, or a URL. The supported well-known image format includes JPEG (plus transparency mask), PNG, BMP, and TIFF.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

getImage

public byte[] getImage(IGeoImageDescription pImageDescription)
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

Gets an image for a given image description.

Description

Gets the image data in byte array from the image service using the given GeoImageDescription.

Remarks

Gets the image data for a given image description. The returned image data contains first pixel values and then followed by NoData (transparency) bit mask, i.e. <pixels><mask>. The pixel values are organized in a band interleaved by pixel format, as the following:

v[0,0,0], v[1,0,0], v[2,0,0],…, v[nBands-1,0,0],

v[0,0,1], v[1,0,1], v[2,0,1],…, v[nBands-1, 0,1], …,

v[0,nRows-1,nCols-1], …, v[nBands-1,nRows-1,nCols-1]

where nCols, nRows, and nBands are the number of columns, number of rows, and number of bands of the returned image, and v[b,I,j] is a pixel value at band number b, row number I, and column number j. The size in terms of number of bytes of a pixel value depends on pixel type. The following table shows the pixel type to pixel size mapping:

PT_U1 1

PT_U2 1

PT_U4 1

PT_UCHAR 1

PT_CHAR 1

PT_USHORT 2

PT_SHORT 2

PT_ULONG 4

PT_LONG 4

PT_FLOAT 4

PT_DOUBLE 8

The location of the pixel at band b, row I, and column j can be calculated using the following formula:

location = ((i*nCols+j)*nBands+b)*pixelsize (in bytes)

The pixel data are always in Intel (Little Endian) byte order. For pixel types of more than 1 byte, byte swapping may be needed.

The NoData mask is a bit mask, one bit per pixels of all bands, with no padding to the byte boundary for a row. Value 1 indicates the pixel is valid, and 0 indicates NoData. The mask value for a pixel at row I and column j can be calculated as the following:

Bit[] = {0x80, 0x40, 0x20, 0x10, 0x08, 0x04, 0x02, 0x01}

l = i*nCols+j

m[l/8] & Bit[l%8]

The NoData immediately follows pixel data. The size of NoData mask in bytes is (nCols*nRows+7)/8.

The NoData mask is optional. If the total size of the returned image data greater than the pixel data size i.e. nRows*nCols*nBands*pixelsize, then the NoData mask is present.

If LZ77 compressed, the returned image data must be uncompressed (zlib). The uncompressed image data follow the same format as above.

If JPEG compressed, the returned image data are organized as JPEG data stream followed NoData mask, and followed by the size of the JPEG stream, i.e. <JPEG><mask><size>. The NoData mask is the same format as above, but is LZ77 compressed. The JPEG data stream size <size> is a 4-byte integer in Intel byte order.
