GPR-SDK has C-99 interface for maximum portability, yet is implemented in C/C++ for programming effectiveness. The complete source of GPR-SDK, a library that implements conversion of RAW, DNG, GPR, PPM or JPG formats. JPG or JPEG One of the simplest formats for lossy compression of debayered RGB image. It is very easy to write and analyze programs to process this format, and that is why it is used here. PPM - Portable Pixel Map is one of the simplest storage formats of uncompressed debayered RGB image. Similar to RAW file, VC5 file does not store metadata needed for proper image development. VC5 - A file with VC5 extension stores RAW sensor image data in a compressed format that is compatible with VC-5. Today, GPR files can be opened in Adobe products like Camera Raw®, Photoshop® and Lightroom®. GPR is an extension of DNG, enabling high performance VC-5 compression for faster storage and smaller files without impacting image quality. GoPro cameras including Hero5/6 and Fusion record photos in this format. As mentioned earlier, DNG stores compressed or uncompressed RAW sensor data along with accompanying metadata that is needed to properly develop image. exposure, white balance or noise etc, thus cannot easily be turned into a well developed image.ĭNG - Widely regarded as a defacto standard, a DNG file can be opened natively on most operating systems and image development tools. ![]() The RAW image doesn’t carry metadata about image development e.g. RAW or CFA RAW - The Bayer RAW format is typically composed of 50% green, 25% red and 25% blue samples captured from sensor, e.g. File Typesįollowing file types are discussed in this document: VC-5 shares a lot of technical barebones with the CineForm®, an open and cross-platform intermediate codec designed for high-resolution video editing. The wavelet codec in GPR is not new, but has been a SMPTE® standard under the name VC-5. Better image quality as it does not suffer from ringing or blocky artifacts observed in JPEG files.The compression performance increases as image resolutions go up - making it more future proof.FFWT has a few nice properties compared to DCT: This is due to Full-Frame Wavelet Transform (FFWT). In comparison, GPR achieves typical compression ratios between 10:1 and 4:1. Lossy mode uses the 8x8 DCT transform that was developed for JPEG more than 25 years ago (when photo resolutions were much smaller), achieving compression ratios around 4:1. Lossless mode typically achieves 2:1 compression that is clearly not enough in the mobile-first age. All this combined enables customers to capture DSLR-class image quality in a GPR file that has nearly same size as JPEG, on a camera that is as small and rugged as a GoPro.ĭNG allows storage of RAW sensor data in three main formats: uncompressed, lossless JPEG or lossy JPEG. And last but not the least, image quality matters because we want GPR to provide visually transparent image quality when compared to uncompressed DNG. As the world shifts from desktop to mobile, people now shoot and process more and more photos on smartphones which are always limited on storage space and bandwidth. File sizes matter because GoPro cameras can record thousands of images very quickly using timelapse and burst mode features. This guarantees compatibility with applications that already understand DNG, but provide an alternate compression scheme in situations where compression and encoding/decoding speed matter.Īction cameras, like that from GoPro, have limited computing resources, so ability to compress data using fewest CPU cycles matters. The intention of GPR is not to compete with DNG, rather to be as close as possible to DNG. GPR was designed to provide a better tradeoff for all three parameters than what’s possible with DNG or any other raw format. Image compression is a balance of speed, file size and photo quality, and typically one can only choose two. The General Purpose Raw (GPR) is 12-bit raw image coding format that is based on Adobe DNG® standard.
