TIF to JP2 file format migration with quality assurance

Created: 2014-05-07 13:59:26      Last updated: 2014-05-07 13:59:27

This workflow reads a textfile containing absolute paths to TIF image files and converts them to JP2 image files using OpenJPEG (https://code.google.com/p/openjpeg).

Based on the input text file, the workflow creates a Taverna list to be processed file by file. A temporary directory is created (createtmpdir) where the migrated image files and some temporary tool outputs are stored.

Before starting the actual migration, it is checked if the TIF input images are valid file format instances using Fits (https://code.google.com/p/fits, JHove2 under the hood, http://www.jhove2.org). An XPath service is used to extract the validity information from the XML-based Fits validation report.

If the images are valid TIF images, they are migrated to the JPEG2000 (JP2) image file format using OpenJPEG 2.0 (opj_compress).

Subsequently, it is again checked if the migrated images are valid JP2 images using SCAPE tool Jpylyzer (http://www.openplanetsfoundation.org/software/jpylyzer). An XPath service (XPathJpylyzer) is used to extract the validity information from the XML-based Jpylyzer validation report.

Finally, we verify if the migrated JP2 images are valid surrogates of the original TIF images by restoring the original TIF image from the converted JP2 image and comparing whether original and restored images are identical .
