Review comment:
Originally, I was going to use something longer and more descriptive,
but the length of the package line got a little too long. But I agree that a
more descriptive name is better. We could use
photometricinterpreters.floatingPoint, but the capitalization disagrees with
the conventions of the original package. Do you prefer
photometricinterpreters.floatingpoint?

> Key: IMAGING-251
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAGING-251
> Project: Commons Imaging
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Format: TIFF
> Affects Versions: 1.x
> Reporter: Gary Lucas
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.x

> Commons Imaging does not support the floating-point format included in the
> TIFF specification. There are prominent data sources that issue products in
> this format. The ability to support this information would open up new
> application areas for Commons Imaging.
> TIFF is often used as a mechanism for distributing data from geophysical
> applications in the form of GeoTIFF files. Some of this is not imagery, but
> data. For example, the US Geological Survey is currently releasing
> high-resolution elevation data grids for the 3DEP program under the name
> Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF (COG). It is a substantial data set with significant
> potential commercial and academic applications.
> To access this data means modifying the TIFF DataReaderStrips and
> DataReaderTile classes to recognize floating point data (which is typically
> indicated using TIFF tag #339, SampleFormat). Also, returning the data in the
> form of a BufferedImage makes no sense at all, so the API on the
> TiffImageParser and supporting classes would need additional methods to
> return arrays of floats. The good news here is that that requirement would
> mean adding new methods to the classes rather than making significant changes
> to existing classes. So the probability of unintended consequences or new
> bugs in existing code would be minimized.
> Specification details for floating-point are given in the main TIFF-6
> documentations and Adobe Photoshop TIFF Technical Note 3.
>
> I am willing to volunteer to make these changes provided that there is
> interest and a high probability that my contributions would be evaluated and,
> if suitable, integrated into the Commons Imaging code base.
> Thank you for your attention in this matter.
