Much of this appendix is also applicable to foreign images. E.1 Raw Pixel Introduction E.1 Raw Pixel Introduction EE..11 RRaaww PPiixxeell IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn Oracle interMedia supports many popular image formats suitable for storing artwork, photographs, and other images in an efficient, compressed way, and provides the ability to convert between these formats. However, most of these formats are proprietary to at least some degree, and the format of their content is often widely variable and not suited for easy access to the pixel data of the image. The Raw Pixel format is useful for applications that need direct access to the pixel data without the burden of the complex computations required to determine the location of pixels within a compressed data stream. This simplifies reading the image for applications that are performing pixel-oriented image processing, such as filtering and edge detection. This format is even more useful to applications that need to write data back to the image. Because changing even a single pixel in a compressed image can have implications for the entire image stream, providing an uncompressed format enables applications to write pixel data directly, and later compress the image with a single process( ) command. This format is also useful to users who have data in a format not directly supported by interMedia, but is in a simple, uncompressed format.These users can prepend a Raw Pixel identifier and header onto their data and import it into interMedia. For users who need only to read these images (such as for import or conversion), this capabil
