  1. Interesting, the Bodleian library created a #Python library that converts #TIFF or #JPEG source images to #JP2 #JPEG2000 (using a #Kakadu wrapper), and does various quality checks on the result:

    github.com/bodleian/image-proc

    Will definitely give this a try for an upcoming in-house TIFF to JP2 conversion pilot project!

  2. #ReleaseThursday #OpenSourceXmas A little present (to some of you)... Been meaning to release these recent additions before the holidays, but only getting around to it now. The most important new things are these:

    thi.ng/units now includes a Lisp-like formula DSL to combine, calculate and convert quantities and units in a much concise manner than via the normal TypeScript API (see attached examples)

    thi.ng/pixel-io-tiff is a new package (only 2.6KB) to provide TIFF image format parsing and EXIF/GPS metadata extraction (without having to parse the image fully). Also includes format conversions for thi.ng/pixel buffers (grayscale 8/16bit, RGB 24/32bit), but only supports most common TIFF features (e.g. tiles, strips, uncompressed or deflate). Supports multiple sub-images... Write support will be released early next year

    thi.ng/math now has conversions to/from fractions, using "continued fractions" for best possible precision (also includes recursion-free implementations of GCD & LCM).

    thi.ng/binary now provides `DATAVIEW`, a JS-native DataView-like API tailored for using `Uint8Array` or vanilla JS numeric arrays (assuming the array contains u8 values) and accessors for signed/unsigned 8-64bit word sizes and little/big endian ordering.

  6. “Last night, as everyone in my house went to sleep, I took a deep breath and edited the Wikipedia page for #TIFF, the Tag Image File Format. It no longer reads ‘created by Aldus’; it reads ‘…created by Stephen Carlsen, an engineer at Aldus.’” inventingthefuture.ghost.io/mr
