Problem opening IIQ files

Hello,

I have been using libRaw 0.15.4 (Windows 32bit) in my application since 4 years. Recently, we received some CR2, NEF and IIQ files that libRaw 0.15.4 was not able to process correctly (strange colors rendering or errors on opening). I decided to upgrade to a recent version of libRaw, so I tried libRaw 0.18.15 and 0.18.16 and it seems that most problems have gone away except some IIQ files that cannot be opened (while libRaw 0.15.4 worked well on these files).

I try to open these files with this simple code :

LibRaw rawProcessor;
in result;

Use LibRaw with CodeBlocks and mingw on windows

Hi everyone,

I would like to open a .cr2 (from my Canon 6D) file, play with it and compare the result with already existing demosaicing algorithms.
I use codeblocks 16.01, mingw x64 5.0.3 (g++ version 7.2.0) and openCV 3.3.1 on Windows 10 x64.
I downloaded the latest LibRaw sources.
But i can't compile a simple program :

Getting crazy cam_mul values

For most of the cameras I've tried, I either get values like 0.6 or 600 (which I divide by 1000).
However, I have a DNG where I get: INFO: cam_mul 0.001000 1127039.874999 0.004999 0

Raw Therapee seems to load the file just fine though. And so does IrfanView.

Any ideas what's wrong, or what I should do?

Variable Contrast

Hi there,

I've been trying to use LibRaw on a project, but keep running into an issue where the output images don't look "contrasty" enough -- they differ substantially in contrast from both the embedded previews in the JPEG, as well as ACR and FastRawViewer (which I understood uses libraw internally?)

Looking in FRV, there's an option called "contrast curve type", which is set to "variable contrast" -- I think this is what I'm missing.

How do I invoke libraw such that it mirrors the "variable contrast" setting, so that my images look right?

Thanks!

How to use LibRaw for writing one's own demosaicking algorithm

Dear All, thank you very much for this really nice piece of opensource software !

I would like to write an inverse problem solver, that take as input multiple RAW files (taken from the same image), and outputs 3 RGB files for the image.
The way demosaicking is performed is up to me, but I would like to be able to rely on LibRaw in order to consistently know the mapping between each pixel coordinate (x_i, y_i) and its color channels (R,V or B), wether the input raw comes from cannon/nikon/sony/pentax,... .

Getting SIG_SEGV in xtrans_decode_block (libraw_fuji_compressed.cpp)

Hi Alex,

on my libraw port on android, I'm getting a SIGSEGV (signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 2 (SEGV_ACCERR)) in the xtrans_decode_block function when trying to call "libraw_unpack" on a raf file reported by an user (X-T20)(see link below). What I tried is to check at which point exactly it crashes (it's a little tricky under android), and found out that it fails somewhere in the last loop (logged the state at line 712, the last output before it fails is:
xtrans_decode_block 22 15 512 (22 = g_even_pos, 15 = g_odd_pos, 512 = line_width)

RAW to grayscale

I'm new to image processing.

I want to decode a raw image to produce a pgm file that has merged the 4 Bayer photosites with no pre-processing (like color balance, gamma, etc.) into a 16-bit grayscale pixel.

My first attempt was dcraw -4 -D which resulted in an image, but with the characteristic "blockiness" due to the unmerged photosites.

I know Libraw is based on dcraw code, so I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any suggestions on how to use dcraw in the above scenario.

Thanks!
