Libjpeg Turbo
libjpeg-turbo is a high-performance image codec library used for encoding and decoding JPEG images. It serves as a compression library for converting raw image data into JPEG format and as a utility for transforming pixel data between different color models and buffer formats.
The library utilizes SIMD instructions to accelerate the encoding and decoding process. It includes a lossless transformer that allows for cropping and resizing of JPEG data without re-encoding pixels to preserve image quality.
Its broader capabilities cover image scaling during the compression process and high-performance color space transformations. It provides tools for pixel order conversion to match specific hardware requirements and handles the transformation of pixel data between models such as RGB and BGR.
Features
