[ITK-users] Reading Gray Scale Palette Image

[Michael Jackson]

We have a Tiff image that is GrayScale (8 bit) and Palette (photometric interpretation=3) and the indices into the palette are 16 bit but the values in the palette are 8 bit? When trying to use ITK to figure out what type of array we should be allocating our logic is coming back with 16 bit unsigned shorts because  we have the following code:

  itk::ImageIOBase::Pointer imageIO = itk::ImageIOFactory::CreateImageIO(getInputFileName(), itk::ImageIOFactory::ReadMode);

itk::ImageIOBase::IOComponentType componentType = imageIO->GetComponentType();
…
  else if(itk::ImageIOBase::USHORT == componentType)
 {
   data = UInt16ArrayType::CreateArray(0, "Temp", false);
 }
…

Here is the header of the tiff file as put out by “tiffdump”

/Users/XXXXXXXX/Downloads/image_01.tif:

My question is this: what can we interrogate from the imageIO object to really nail down that this really turns out to be an 8 bit image?

Thanks
