GD imagejpeg() compression?

问题

I'm working on a project where I edit the pixels of a jpg in PHP using the GD library. Its very crucial and key to my project that the output from PHP retains the pixel values I set (cough-steganography-cough).

This is the first time I've attempted image manipulation in PHP. I've had no problems before in my Java implementations, so I was foolish not to investigate GD's jpeg compression quality before pursuing further.

It turns out that after all my effort, my code does not function the way its supposed to. I am pretty sure it is not my code (tested the encode and decode functions on edited image resources and they worked).

My questions are:

1. The only problem I can see is with imagejpeg()'s compression. Could I be right?

2. Are there any libraries that provide the compression that I need?(retain pixel values that I changed)

回答1:

The JPEG file format is not very suitable for steganography if you do the steganography pixel by pixel.

JPEG uses an image compression - that even with maximum quality - that will destroy the information on the bit level on each pixel. The jpeg type of compression (lossy compression) is made for the human eye/brain to retain the image but not the bits of the image in the file .

You need to use an image format that is capable to retain the pixels - as you wrote it already as well. Such a format more likely is BMP with RLE compression or the TIFF image format with ZIP or RLE compression. That's called lossless data compression.

By default the quality of the image output from imagejpeg is 75, Try setting it at 100 to get the image at full quality.

  bool imagejpeg ( resource $image [, string $filename [, int $quality ]] )

Check the manual for further details.

Also try using imagecopyresampled. (I think you would have been using imagecopyresized somewhere in your code. Use imagecopyresampled instead of it. )

EDIT

Then I think you should try ImageMagick(or GD2). It gives a better quality than GD . Check this

Use the imagepng() instead of the imagejpeg() function and set the compression to 0 :

bool imagepng ( resource $image [, string $filename [, int $quality [, int $filters ]]] )

See : http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagepng.php
