SPIFF image wanted

Hello pixls community,

I am building a php jpeg scanner (all markers, exif data, code injection searches and stenography detection). I noticed that another format exists besides jpeg200 and newer formats: SPIFF Still Picture Interchange File Format. I cannot find any sample images or i am not using the correct keywords in Google searches (SPIFF sample images). I am hoping that someone has a spiff image that i can use as a basis for adding spiff support to my scanner.

please if you have one :slight_smile:

Thank you.

SPIFF is a new international standard and is currently supported by very few applications.. That might be the problem :grinning:.

Hi Thomas,

lack of support is widespread, indeed, but it is not new. I believe it was documented in 1996 with ammendments in 99. I have checked all of my image editors and nothing encodes spiff. I do not know of a spiff encoder, therefore, i am hoping that someone actually has a spiff image for testing. I can read the specification and write the code but a test image is necessary to check for problems in the code.

Thanks for replying. Hopefully i can find a sample or an encoder.

Hi, John. Welcome to the forum!

I think the difficulty in searching for examples on the web is that, apart from general obscurity, they are likely to share the standard .jpg file extension:

For something like this, it may be worth trying to contact this guy:

Hi, Martbetz, thank you for the welcome message :slight_smile:

I will try to contact Mr. Sneyers and see if he is able to help. Maybe he could even help me get a copy of the newer xl specification, which would be better than a spiff image.

meantime, i turned my focus to adding a jpeg2000 scanner. I’ve allready scanned markers and i am beginning to dissect the boxes. I’ll keep looking for a spiff image or an encoder along the way.

I appreciate the tips, Martbetz. Best wishes to you and your family :slight_smile:
