NDPI to TIFF conversion is failling

[felixveysseyre]

Hello,

I am trying to convert an NDPI image into TIFF using bfconvert (5.1.10) on Linux (same thing on Mac OS X).

Unfortunately, I get the following error:

felixveysseyre$ ~/Softwares/bftools-old/bfconvert -bigtiff -series 0  ~/Downloads/wwj-2.ndpi ~/Downloads/wwj-2.tiff

Here is the image information I got from showinf:

Weird thing, I was able to convert an other NDPI file without any problem.

Should I assume it is coming from a defect in the image ?

Thanks,

Hi Félix,

If possible would you be able to upload the file that is causing the error for testing? You can upload the image at https://www.openmicroscopy.org/qa2/qa/upload/

With Thanks, David Gault

Hi @dgault,

Here is the data: https://www.openmicroscopy.org/qa2/qa/feedback/17312/?token=46160a2e02653365a15d68078849b939

Thanks for your help !

Hi Félix,

Thank you for submitting the file. I can certainly reproduce the same issue that you are seeing. From debugging the tile dimensions within the JPEG decoder appear to be incorrect, though Im not yet sure if this is due to an error on our part or if the issue is with the image itself.

I will do some further investigation and keep you updated when I know more.

With Thanks, David Gault

Thanks a lot for your time @dgault !

Confirmed that this issue is still present with #3505.

@melissalinkert @felixveysseyre @dgault Has anyone had success converting NDPI to TIFF?

[dgault]

Hi @usuyama, this particular issue is still present but most ndpi files should be unaffected and convert without problem. Are you seeing the same exception with the stack trace below?
