go-iiif-vips

go-iiif driver for libvips.

Important

You should start by reading the documentation in the go-iiif package.

Tools

As of version 2 of go-iiif all of the logic, including defining and parsing command line arguments, for any go-iiif tool that performs image processing has been moved in to the tools package. This change allows non-core image processing packages (like go-iiif-vips) to more easily re-use functionality defined in the core go-iiif package. For example:

package main

import (
	"context"
	_ "github.com/go-iiif/go-iiif-vips"
	"github.com/go-iiif/go-iiif/v3/tools"
)

func main() {
	tool, _ := tools.NewProcessTool()
	tool.Run(context.Background())
}

iiif-process

$> ./bin/iiif-process -h
Usage of ./bin/iiif-process:
  -config string
    	Path to a valid go-iiif config file. DEPRECATED - please use -config_source and -config name.
  -config-name string
    	The name of your go-iiif config file. (default "config.json")
  -config-source string
    	A valid Go Cloud bucket URI where your go-iiif config file is located.
  -instructions string
    	Path to a valid go-iiif processing instructions file. DEPRECATED - please use -instructions-source and -instructions-name.
  -instructions-name string
    	The name of your go-iiif instructions file. (default "instructions.json")
  -instructions-source string
    	A valid Go Cloud bucket URI where your go-iiif instructions file is located.
  -mode string
    	Valid modes are: cli, lambda. (default "cli")
  -report
    	Store a process report (JSON) for each URI in the cache tree.
  -report-name string
    	The filename for process reports. Default is 'process.json' as in '${URI}/process.json'. (default "process.json")

Perform a series of IIIF image processing tasks, defined in a JSON-based "instructions" file, on one or more (IIIF) URIs. For example:

$> ./bin/iiif-process -config config.json -instructions instructions.json -uri source/IMG_0084.JPG | jq

{
  "source/IMG_0084.JPG": {
    "dimensions": {
      "b": [
        2048,
        1536
      ],
      "d": [
        320,
        320
      ],
      "o": [
        4032,
        3024
      ]
    },
    "palette": [
      {
        "name": "#b87531",
        "hex": "#b87531",
        "reference": "vibrant"
      },
      {
        "name": "#805830",
        "hex": "#805830",
        "reference": "vibrant"
      },
      {
        "name": "#7a7a82",
        "hex": "#7a7a82",
        "reference": "vibrant"
      },
      {
        "name": "#c7c3b3",
        "hex": "#c7c3b3",
        "reference": "vibrant"
      },
      {
        "name": "#5c493a",
        "hex": "#5c493a",
        "reference": "vibrant"
      }
    ],
    "uris": {
      "b": "source/IMG_0084.JPG/full/!2048,1536/0/color.jpg",
      "d": "source/IMG_0084.JPG/-1,-1,320,320/full/0/dither.jpg",
      "o": "source/IMG_0084.JPG/full/full/-1/color.jpg"
    }
  }
}

Images are read-from and stored-to whatever source or derivatives caches defined in your config.json file.

"instructions" files

An instruction file is a JSON-encoded dictionary. Keys are user-defined and values are dictionary of IIIF one or more transformation instructions. For example:

{
    "o": {"size": "full", "format": "", "rotation": "-1" },
    "b": {"size": "!2048,1536", "format": "jpg" },
    "d": {"size": "full", "quality": "dither", "region": "-1,-1,320,320", "format": "jpg" }	
}

The complete list of possible instructions is:

type IIIFInstructions struct {
	Region   string `json:"region"`
	Size     string `json:"size"`
	Rotation string `json:"rotation"`
	Quality  string `json:"quality"`
	Format   string `json:"format"`
}

As of this writing there is no explicit response type for image beyond map[string]interface{}. There probably could be but it's still early days.

iiif-server

$> ./bin/iiif-server -h
Usage of ./bin/iiif-server:
  -config string
    	Path to a valid go-iiif config file. DEPRECATED - please use -config-url and -config name.
  -config-name string
    	The name of your go-iiif config file. (default "config.json")
  -config-source string
    	A valid Go Cloud bucket URI where your go-iiif config file is located.	
  -example
    	Add an /example endpoint to the server for testing and demonstration purposes
  -example-root string
    	An explicit path to a folder containing example assets (default "example")
  -host string
    	Bind the server to this host (default "localhost")
  -port int
    	Bind the server to this port (default 8080)
  -protocol string
    	The protocol for wof-staticd server to listen on. Valid protocols are: http, lambda. (default "http")

$> bin/iiif-server -config config.json

iiif-server is a HTTP server that supports version 2.1 of the IIIF Image API.

Endpoints

Although the identifier parameter ({ID}) in the examples below suggests that is is only string characters up to and until a / character, it can in fact contain multiple / separated strings. For example, either of these two URLs is valid

http://localhost:8082/191733_5755a1309e4d66a7_k.jpg/info.json
http://localhost:8082/191/733/191733_5755a1309e4d66a7/info.json

Where the identified will be interpreted as 191733_5755a1309e4d66a7_k.jpg and 191/733/191733_5755a1309e4d66a7 respectively. Identifiers containing one or more ../ strings will be made to feel bad about themselves.

GET /{ID}/info.json

$> curl -s http://localhost:8082/184512_5f7f47e5b3c66207_x.jpg/info.json | python -mjson.tool
{
    "@context": "http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json",
    "@id": "http://localhost:8082/184512_5f7f47e5b3c66207_x.jpg",

        {
            "formats": [
                "tif",
                "webp",
                "jpg",

            ],
            "supports": [
                "full",

                "sizeByWh",
                "full",
                "max",
                "sizeByW",
                "sizeByH",
                "sizeByPct",
                "sizeByConfinedWh",

        }
    ],
    "protocol": "http://iiif.io/api/image",
    "width": 3897
}

Return the profile description for an identifier.

GET /{ID}/{REGION}/{SIZE}/{ROTATION}/{QUALITY}.{FORMAT}

$> curl -s http://localhost:8082/184512_5f7f47e5b3c66207_x.jpg/pct:41,7,40,70/,250/0/default.jpg

Return an image derived from an identifier and one or more IIIF parameters. For example:

GET /debug/vars

$> curl -s 127.0.0.1:8080/debug/vars | python -mjson.tool | grep Cache
    "CacheHit": 4,
    "CacheMiss": 16,
    "CacheSet": 16,

$> curl -s 127.0.0.1:8080/debug/vars | python -mjson.tool | grep Transforms
    "TransformsAvgTimeMS": 1833.875,
    "TransformsCount": 16,

This exposes all the usual Go expvar debugging output along with the following additional properies:

• CacheHit - the total number of (derivative) images successfully returned from cache
• CacheMiss - the total number of (derivative) images not found in the cache
• CacheSet - the total number of (derivative) images added to the cache
• TransformsAvgTimeMS - the average amount of time in milliseconds to transforms a source image in to a derivative
• TransformsCount - the total number of source images transformed in to a derivative

Note: This endpoint is only available from the machine the server is running on.

iiif-tile-seed

$> ./bin/iiif-tile-seed -h
Usage of ./bin/iiif-tile-seed:
  -config string
    	Path to a valid go-iiif config file. DEPRECATED - please use -config-source and -config name.
  -config-name string
    	The name of your go-iiif config file. (default "config.json")
  -config-source string
    	A valid Go Cloud bucket URI where your go-iiif config file is located.

    	Valid modes are: cli, csv, lambda. (default "cli")
  -noextension
    	Remove any extension from destination folder name.
  -processes int
    	The number of concurrent processes to use when tiling images (default 4)
  -quality string
    	A valid IIIF quality parameter - if "default" then the code will try to determine which format you've set as the default (default "default")

Generate (seed) all the tiled derivatives for a source image for use with the Leaflet-IIIF plugin.

iiif-tile-seed and identifiers

Identifiers for source images can be passed to iiif-tiles-seed in of two way:

1. A space-separated list of identifiers
2. A space-separated list of comma-separated identifiers indicating the identifier for the source image followed by the identifier for the newly generated tiles

For example:

$> ./bin/iiif-tile-seed -options 191733_5755a1309e4d66a7_k.jpg

Or:

$> ./bin/iiif-tile-seed -options 191733_5755a1309e4d66a7_k.jpg,191/733/191733_5755a1309e4d66a7

In many cases the first option will suffice but sometimes you might need to create new identifiers or structure existing identifiers according to their output, for example avoiding the need to store lots of file in a single directory. It's up to you.

You can also run iiif-tile-seed pass a list of identifiers as a CSV file. To do so include the -mode csv argument, like this:

$> ./bin/iiif-tile-seed -options -mode csv CSVFILE

Your CSV file must contain a header specifying a source_id and alternate_id column, like this:

source_id,alternate_id
191733_5755a1309e4d66a7_k.jpg,191733_5755a1309e4d66a7

While all columns are required if alternate_id is empty the code will simply default to using source_id for all operations.

Important: The use of alternate IDs is not fully supported by iiif-server yet. Which is to say to the logic for how to convert a source identifier to an alternate identifier is still outside the scope of go-iiif so unless you have pre-rendered all of your tiles or other derivatives (in which case the check for cached derivatives at the top of the imgae handler will be triggered) then the server won't know where to write new alternate files.

Config files

You should start by reading the documentation for configuation files in the go-iiif package. What follows are configuration options specific to the go-iiif-vips package.

graphics

	"graphics": {
		"source": { "name": "vips" }
	}

According to the bimg docs (which is the Go library wrapping libvips) the following formats can be read:

It can read JPEG, PNG, WEBP natively, and optionally TIFF, PDF, GIF and SVG formats if libvips@8.6+ is compiled with proper library bindings.

If you've installed libvips using the handy setup script then all the formats listed above, save PDF, should be supported.

Important: That's actually not true if you're reading this. It was true but then I tried running iiif-tile-seed on a large set of images and started triggering this error even though it's supposed to be fixed. If you're reading this it means at least one of three things: the bug still exists; I pulled source from gopkg.in rather than github.com despite the author's notes in the issue; changes haven't propogated to gopkg.in yet. Which is to say that the current version of bimg is pegged to the v1.0.1 release which doesn't know think it knows about the PDF, GIF or SVG formats yet. It's being worked on...

The VIPS graphics source has the following optional properties:

• tmpdir Specify an alternate path where libvips should write temporary files while processing images. This may be necessary if you are a processing many large files simultaneously and your default "temporary" directory is very small.

Docker

Yes. There is a Dockerfile included with this distribution. It will build a container with the following tools:

• The iiif-server tool.
• The iiif-process command-line tool.
• The iiif-tile-seed command-line tool.

To build the container run:

$> docker build -f Dockerfile -t go-iiif-vips .

To start the iiif-server tool run:

$> docker run -it -p 6161:8080 \
   -v /usr/local/go-iiif/docker/etc:/etc/iiif-server \
   -v /usr/local/go-iiif/docker/images:/usr/local/iiif-server \
   go-iiif-vips \
   /bin/iiif-server -host 0.0.0.0 \
   -config-source /etc/iiif-server
   
2018/06/20 23:03:10 Listening for requests at 0.0.0.0:8080

See the way we are mapping /etc/iiif-server and /usr/local/iiif-server to local directories? By default the iiif-server Dockerfile does not bundle config files or images. Maybe some day, but that day is not today.

Then, in another terminal:

$> curl localhost:6161/test.jpg/info.json
{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"http://localhost:6161/test.jpg","@type":"iiif:Image","protocol":"http://iiif.io/api/image","width":3897,"height":4096,"profile":["http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json",{"formats":["gif","webp","jpg","png","tif"],"qualities":["default","color","dither"],"supports":["full","regionByPx","regionByPct","regionSquare","sizeByDistortedWh","sizeByWh","full","max","sizeByW","sizeByH","sizeByPct","sizeByConfinedWh","none","rotationBy90s","mirroring","noAutoRotate","baseUriRedirect","cors","jsonldMediaType"]}],"service":[{"@context":"x-urn:service:go-iiif#palette","profile":"x-urn:service:go-iiif#palette","label":"x-urn:service:go-iiif#palette","palette":[{"name":"#2f2013","hex":"#2f2013","reference":"vibrant"},{"name":"#9e8e65","hex":"#9e8e65","reference":"vibrant"},{"name":"#c6bca6","hex":"#c6bca6","reference":"vibrant"},{"name":"#5f4d32","hex":"#5f4d32","reference":"vibrant"}]}]}

Let's say you're using S3 as an image source and reading (S3) credentials from environment variables (something like {"source": { "name": "S3", "path": "{BUCKET}", "region": "us-east-1", "credentials": "env:" }) then you would start up iiif-server like this:

$> docker run -it -p 6161:8080 \
       -v /usr/local/go-iiif/docker/etc:/etc/iiif-server \
       -v /usr/local/go-iiif/docker/images:/usr/local/iiif-server \
       -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID={AWS_KEY} -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={AWS_SECRET} \
       go-iiif-vips-server \
       /bin/iiif-server -host 0.0.0.0 \
       -config-source file:///etc/iiif-server

The process an image using the iiif-process tool you would run something like:

$> docker run \
   -v /usr/local/go-iiif/docker/etc:/etc/go-iiif \
   go-iiif-vips /bin/iiif-process \
   -config-source file:///etc/go-iiif \
   -instruction-source file:///etc/go-iiif \
   file:///test.jpg

To tile an image using the iiif-tile-seed tool you would run something like:

$> docker run -v /usr/local/go-iiif-vips/docker:/usr/local/go-iiif \
	go-iiif-vips /bin/iiif-tile-seed \
	-config-source file:////usr/local/go-iiif/config \
	-scale-factors 1,2,4,8 \
	file:///zuber.jpg

Again, see the way we're mapping /etc/go-iiif to a local folder, like we do in the iiif-server Docker example? The same rules apply here.
