Class TiffRasterData

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    TiffRasterDataFloat, TiffRasterDataInt

    public abstract class TiffRasterData
    extends Object
    Provides a simple container for numeric-raster data. Some TIFF files are used to store floating-point or integer data rather than images. This class is intended to support access to those TIFF files.

    Note: The getData() and getIntData() methods can return direct references to the internal arrays stored in instances of this class. Because these are not safe copies of the data, an application that modified the arrays returned by these methods will change the content of the associated instance. This approach is used for purposes of efficiency when dealing with very large TIFF images.

    Data layout: The elements in the returned array are stored in row-major order. In cases where the data contains multiple samples per raster cell (pixel), the data is organized into blocks of data one sample at a time. The first block contains width*height values for the first sample for each cell, the second block contains width*height values for the second sample for each cell, etc. Thus, the array index for a particular value is computed as

        index = y*width + x + iSample * width *height;

      • getData

        public abstract float[] getData()
        Returns the content stored as an array in this instance. Note that in many cases, the returned array is not a safe copy of the data but a direct reference to the member element. In such cases, modifying it would directly affect the content of the instance. While this design approach carries some risk in terms of data security, it was chosen for reasons of performance and memory conservation. TIFF images that contain floating-point data are often quite large. Sizes of 100 million raster cells are common. Making a redundant copy of such a large in-memory object might exceed the resources available to a Java application.

        See the class API documentation above for notes on accessing array elements.

        Returns:
        the data content stored in this instance.
      • getIntData

        public abstract int[] getIntData()
        Returns the content stored as an array in this instance. Note that in many cases, the returned array is not a safe copy of the data but a direct reference to the member element.
