Hi gaurav_kl,

I am not sure if you have solved the problem or raised a ticket for it. I believe I have just asked a related question here.

I looks to be caused by 2012's commit to libjasper's jas_stream.c line 389 which has caused encoding to JPEG2000 to fail in Windows.

A few lines before that, tmpname() and open() opens up a temporary file but calling unlink() in windows when the file is opened will fail. I have resorted to reverting commit on 29/8/2012 to OpenCV's source master and build my own opencv_highguiXXX.dll which then allows me to call imencode or imwrite to JPEG2000 without failure.

If a ticket hasn't been raised, I hope this can help the dev people fix the issue in the new branch of OpenCV.

When using imencode or imwrite with extension ".jp2", error below is always thrown: Error = ......\modules\highgui\src\loadsave.cpp:440: error: (-215) code in function cv::imencode

This is performed on Windows OS 32-bit and 64-bit.

Digging deeper finds that jas_stream.c's jas_stream_tmpfile() returns 0 due to unlink() unsuccessful.

Looking through the source for libjasper (latest 1.900.1-13) shows that the commit for Debian bug at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=501021 has removed the comment before the call to "unlink()" that Windows will fail to unlink if file is already opened, and with that, a flag is set to unlink later.

source: https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/blob/master/3rdparty/libjasper/jas_stream.c#L390

With that reverted and a new opencv_highgui249d.dll built, I managed to encode to JPEG2000 into a file / memory by calling imencode or imwrite.

OpenCV's master source has the same code in that region.

I am not sure if this is a bug introduced for Windows in specific, or if I am calling opencv's code wrong. Please advice.

Thanks in advance.
