Question

Writing a mapping application on iOS, making use of OpenStreetMap tiles. Map tile images are downloaded asynchronously and stored in a dictionary, or persisted in a SQLite DB.

Occasionally, for whatever reason, while attempting to render a map tile image, I get the following error:
ImageIO: <ERROR> PNGinvalid distance too far back

This causes nasty black squares to appear over my map.

This is the piece of code in which this occurs:

NSData *imageData = [TileDownloader RetrieveDataAtTileX:(int)tilex Y:(int)tiley Zoom:(int)zoomLevel];  
if (imageData != nil) {
    NSLog(@"Obtained image data\n");
    UIImage *img = [[UIImage imageWithData:imageData] retain];
    // Perform the image render on the current UI context.  
    // ERROR OCCURS BETWEEN PUSH AND POP
    UIGraphicsPushContext(context);
    [img drawInRect:[self rectForMapRect:mapRect] blendMode:kCGBlendModeNormal alpha:1.0f];
    UIGraphicsPopContext();
    [img release];
}

Now, what I'm looking for is a way to ensure a png is valid before attempting to render it to my map.

Edit: The system also occasionally throws this error:
ImageIO: <ERROR> PNGIDAT: CRC error

Was it helpful?

Solution 3

Switched from my own Asynchronous Download Queue Manager to the All Seeing I implementation. Problem became a moot point.

OTHER TIPS

I found this in other question and put together what solved the issue for me. Hope you find this helpful.

The PNG format has several built in checks. Each "chunk" has a CRC32 check, but to check that you'd need to read the full file.

A more basic check (not foolproof, of course) would be to read the start and ending of the file.

The first 8 bytes should always be the following (decimal) values { 137, 80, 78, 71, 13, 10, 26, 10 } (ref). In particular, the bytes second-to-fourth correspond to the ASCII string "PNG".

In hexadecimal:

89 50 4e 47 0d 0a 1a 0a
.. P  N  G  ...........

You can also check the last 12 bytes of the file (IEND chunk). The middle 4 bytes should correspond to the ASCII string "IEND". More specifically the last 12 bytes should be (in hexa):

00 00 00 00 49 45 4e 44 ae 42 60 82
........... I  E  N  D  ...........

(Strictly speaking, it's not really obligatory for a PNG file to end with those 12 bytes, the IEND chunk itself signals the end of the PNG stream and so a file could in principle have extra trailing bytes which would be ignored by the PNG reader. In practice, this is extremely improbable).

Here is an implementation:

- (BOOL)dataIsValidPNG:(NSData *)data
{
    if (!data || data.length < 12)
    {
        return NO;
    }

    NSInteger totalBytes = data.length;
    const char *bytes = (const char *)[data bytes];

    return (bytes[0] == (char)0x89 && // PNG
            bytes[1] == (char)0x50 &&
            bytes[2] == (char)0x4e &&
            bytes[3] == (char)0x47 &&
            bytes[4] == (char)0x0d &&
            bytes[5] == (char)0x0a &&
            bytes[6] == (char)0x1a &&
            bytes[7] == (char)0x0a &&

            bytes[totalBytes - 12] == (char)0x00 && // IEND
            bytes[totalBytes - 11] == (char)0x00 &&
            bytes[totalBytes - 10] == (char)0x00 &&
            bytes[totalBytes - 9] == (char)0x00 &&
            bytes[totalBytes - 8] == (char)0x49 &&
            bytes[totalBytes - 7] == (char)0x45 &&
            bytes[totalBytes - 6] == (char)0x4e &&
            bytes[totalBytes - 5] == (char)0x44 &&
            bytes[totalBytes - 4] == (char)0xae &&
            bytes[totalBytes - 3] == (char)0x42 &&
            bytes[totalBytes - 2] == (char)0x60 &&
            bytes[totalBytes - 1] == (char)0x82);
}

I know this is a super old thread, but I was looking around for an NSData extension that actually validated the crc32's in the PNG data chunks. Having not found one, I adapted one from some other source.

This will actually flag bad PNG CRC's, which isn't done (shockingly) by most image libraries
