[Gdal-dev] Error reading jp2: 'terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'

[Patton, Eric]

Frank,

Running the command you suggested seems to only use the JPEG2000 driver. I get lines and lines of the following:

<snip>
...
JPEG2000: Component 41921: bpp=4, signedness=0
JPEG2000: Component 41922: bpp=4, signedness=0
JPEG2000: Component 41923: bpp=4, signedness=0
JPEG2000: Component 41924: bpp=4, signedness=0
JPEG2000: Component 41925: bpp=4, signedness=0
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  St9bad_alloc
Aborted

Only the last few lines of output are shown. Does it matter what order I compiled jasper-1.900.0.uuid vs. libecwj2-3.3? I believe I complied jasper first, if it matters.

Thanks for the suggestion for FWTools. I installed it under Windows, and imported a 9.5MB jp2 file as a test - OpenEV exported this jp2 to an 800MB tiff! I wonder how big the 291MB jp2 file  would expand to.

291MB jp2 file that represents 1m LIDAR dataset. Here's the output when
I try to read it with gdalinfo/translate:

Eric,

One important question is which driver is actually getting used.
The JasPer based JPEG2000 driver or the ECW SDK based JP2ECW
driver.  The JasPer driver uses huge amounts of memory for large
images, which might explain the allocation failure.

Try:

   gdalinfo --debug on --config GDAL_SKIP JPEG2000 csr.jp2

That should use the JP2ECW driver, and perhaps report some
information as it goes.   If the JP2ECW driver doesn't work then it
is possible the file is corrupt in some fashion.  You might want to try
it with FWTools which uses Kakadu for jpeg2000.

Best regards,
