Parsing jpeg file, SOS marker

Question

I'm having problem with parsing jpeg file. When I hit SOS (start of scan) marker, there are few bytes which meaning I don't understand. In picture bellow, after SOS marker, there are 2 bytes for header length (Ls part on the picture). But what the rest of data on picture mean (for example Ns, Cs1 etc....), and where the pure data starts?

Answer 1

Cs1 is a components selection index, This refers back to the SOF section (where horizontal and vertical sampling factors are specified)

Td1 is the DC table selector for the current component (Cs1)

Ta1 is the AC table selector for the current component (Cs1)

Ss, Se and Ah,Al define the spectral selection for the current scan data (this is used in progressive bitmaps. In the first round of rendering, only lower frequencies are shown, in the final round, more detailed frequencies are shown)

The scan data starts after Al

In summary,

SOS (2 bytes)
Ls (2 Bytes)
Ns (1 byte)
Component Specific Parameters (Ns * 2 bytes)
Ss (1 byte)
Se (1 byte)
Ah,AL (1 byte)
... scan data ...
