Hi Prasant,

Can you check what the ImagingLib call at line 401 will do if we have the case that scaleConst != length? We used to modify "this.length" at line 350, but now we no longer do that (because it was wrong), but the code in ImagingLib may have depended on that.

Similarly, at line 445 we call this.filter(raster, raster) which expects this.length to be an appropriate value - and if it could see the value of scaleConst that we've calculated, that value would be correct, but it is expecting that value to have been passed through via the this.length field. We must not modify this.length so we need a way to say "filter the rasters, but using these other constants that I've calculated, not the ones you see in the fields. That is what I was referring to when I said that the implementation part of filter(Raster, Raster) should be split out into a method that takes parameters from one of the 2 front end methods. We need to do that here so that filter(Image, Image) can tell it to convert only scaleConst number of bands without having to modify the length field.

Lines 378 and 383 - origDst is used to convert the rescaled raster back to the color space of the original destination. But, at line 378 we've already replaced the original destination with a newly created one so we are not saving the original destination, we are just making a second reference to the dst. Later, at line 478, we convert dst to dst which is a NOP.

Lines 408-440 - we can put a test for "if (!scaleAlpha)" around the entire block rather than testing it separately in each of the src/dest.hasAlpha() blocks.

Line 447 - we should not copy the alphas if scaleAlpha is true, should we? The scaling done in the raster should have already copied and scaled them and you'd be replacing them with unscaled copies of the original...

The backup code if ImagingLib does not do the work is to forward the
request to the filter(Raster, Raster) method which again tests length
and requires it to be == src.getNumBands().  An instance to this Op is
also passed to ImagingLib in that method and it's not clear what will
happen if length doesn't match when that happens either.  It may simply
ignore the operation and we end up in the backup code, or it may get an
exception.  In any case, since the length field was not modified by
filter(Bimg, Bimg), we've changed the conditions in the downstream code.

What I'd generally like to see in cases like this is that the public
methods do validation and then they pass only validated information to
helper routines which are clearly private.  For things like "in this
case we don't want to operate on all of the bands of the image", it
would be nice if the helper routines could be told to work on explicitly
defined bands rather than having to compute child rasters with subset
bands.  Doing all of that would take quite a bit of work, but perhaps we
can at least do the following:

- provide a filterRaster() helper method that filter(Raster x 2) and the
backup case for filter(Bimg x 2) both call after validation
- the filterRaster() helper method would take a length parameter and
ignore the field value
- ImagingLib interfaces may have to be upgraded as well to take a length
parameter, I haven't looked at ImagingLib yet to see how it would be
affected by these changes

That much should be fairly easy to arrange, and in doing that we may
discover that it would be easy to have ImagingLib take a list of subset
bands which might help us avoid doing all of the createChildRaster calls
in filter(Bimg)...

Hi Jim,

I was following the RescaleOp spec where it states
/The number of sets of scaling constants may be one, in which case the
same constants are applied to all color (but not alpha) components/
which is taken care by
/if (numSrcColorComp == scaleConst || //*scaleConst == 1*//) {//
//*scaleAlpha = false*;//
//        }//
//Otherwise, the number of sets of scaling constants may equal the
number of Source color components, in which case no rescaling of the
alpha component (if present) is performed/
/if (*numSrcColorComp == scaleConst* || //scaleConst == 1//) {//
//*scaleAlpha = false*;//
//        }//
////If neither of these cases apply, the number of sets of scaling
constants must equal the number of Source color components plus alpha
components, in which case all color and alpha components are rescaled

//For Rasters, rescaling operates on bands. The number of sets of
scaling constants may be one, in which case the same constants are
applied to all bands, or it must equal the number of Source Raster
bands. /
which is taken care by above check.
Earlier, we had

int[] bands = new int[numBands-1];

which omitted the last color bands (which I could not find in the spec
if that is what we should do). So, I changed to

int[] bands = new int[numSrcColorComp];

Hi Prasanta,

I just realized that this method uses filter(Raster, Raster) to do its
work and so some of these changes may affect how it communicates with
that method.  This will take some time to look through all of the
interactions.  In particular, the code that modified the length
parameter, while still wrong in the long run, may have had the side
effect of making some of the operations succeed by making sure the
right preconditions existed for the raster case...

In reading through this I notice that at line 349 the filter code can
permanently change the nature of the RescaleOp.  It should use a local
copy of the length field if it is going to reinterpret it on the fly
like that.

Also, at line 348 - shouldn't it do something if length > numBands,
but the source does not have alpha?  Or is this due to the fragile
tests for "length == numBands+1" below which use that to determine if
some special processing should be done for alpha? The handling of the
relationship between length, numBands and alpha in general seems to be
very fragile and full of assumptions about how the setup code managed
those values without any code comments saying "we leave these
variables in this relationship to indicate that we need to do X, Y, or
Z".  I'd prefer various conditions to be reflected in appropriate
boolean variables that are reasonably descriptive rather than
undocumented assumptions about how length relates to numBands.  Also,
numBands should probably be renamed to numColorBands to avoid any
issues such as what Andrew noted below.

The test at line 397 seems backwards.  Shouldn't it be "(numBands+1 ==
length)"?  What exactly is it testing?  It looks like it is deciding
if it should eliminate alpha from the scaling loops since "length==1"
is defined to only modify the colors, but then it subsets the color
bands which means if you supply only one scale then you scale all but
the alpha band and also all but one of the color bands.  Or am I
misreading something?

Hello Prasanta,

  I have couple comments regarding the fix.

*  lines 408 - 420 and lines 438 - 444.
     Here you are obtaining the source and destination rasters for
all
bands (colors + alpha).
     However, it is already done on the lines 391 and 392.
      Could you please clarify a purpose of this change?

* line 399: here 'numBands' represents number of color bands in the
source image (see line 329).
    So, the last color band is excluded from processing (for
example, in
RGB image you get raster
    that contain only R and G bands).

* you have created a manual test. Probably an automated test is a bit
more
    convenient option here.
    Also, there seems to be no need for a jpg image for this test. A
source image
    with color strips is much more useful.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi ,

Please review a fix for this issue:
It was found that RescaleOp on image with different alpha cannot
render the image as there is a particular flaw in RescaleOp
implementation whereby the source alpha channel is never
transferred to the destination if the rescale op is performed in
java
(or is never populated, if source image has no alpha channel),
resulting in fully transparent destination image.
Fix is to make sure the unscaled source alpha is transferred to
destination alpha channel.
