Title: Check pixel interleave
Post by: Litwos on October 19, 2018, 06:58:15 AM
Hi everyone,

I am trying to test the pixel interleave (BSQ, BIL or BIP) of tiff images that I recieve. I did not see a field in the exiftool output.
Did I not look in the right direction?

Thank you! :D

The TIFF PlanarConfiguration gives this information:

BIP PlanarConfiguration = Chunky (1)
BSQ PlanarConfiguration = Planar (2)

BIL is implemented in TIFF by using Planar configuration (2) and breaking up the image into strips of one row each (ie. RowsPerStrip = 1).
