[Insight-users] Tif RGB wrong way around?

[John Biddiscombe]

The tiff import is much improved, however the attached images are the
original and the result of
tiffimageio->bmpWriter

The RGB at least coming through OK, but the RGB are again BGR. This can
easily be rectified in itkTIFFImageIO by changing
    red = *(source);
    green = *(source+1);
    blue = *(source+2);
to
    red = *(source+2);
    green = *(source+1);
    blue = *(source+0);
though this may not be the correct fix and perhaps the convertRGBAtoRGB
should have a new one like convertABGRtoRGB since it seems the RGBA are
stored the other way around in the tiff stream (?)

anyway, the attached images could be made into a unit test for RGB Import
Export. The test image contains the characters R,G,B written on the image
colour planes and so its easy to see when they are messed up.

Test code

typedef itk::RGBPixel<unsigned char> RGBPixelType2D;
typedef itk::Image< RGBPixelType2D, 2 > ImageRGB2DType;
typedef itk::ImageFileReader< ImageRGB2DType > ReaderType;
ReaderType::Pointer reader = ReaderType::New();
//
reader->SetFileName( filename );
//
try
{
  reader->Update();
}
catch( itk::ExceptionObject & err )
{
  std::cout << "ExceptionObject caught !" << std::endl;
  std::cout << err << std::endl;
  return NULL;
}
typedef itk::ImageFileWriter< ImageRGB2DType > WriterType;
WriterType::Pointer writer = WriterType::New();
//
writer->SetFileName("D:/Test.bmp");
writer->SetInput(reader->GetOutput());
writer->Update();
