Imaging for Windows 4.0
I maging for Windows release 4.0 is now available.
Alliance Imager is a document management system which uses document imaging and scanning software to transform paper documents and faxes into electronic documents that can be viewed, edited and distributed within a PC environment. Alliance Imager provides Document-Management of scanned and electronically generated documents (such as Word or Excel) in a searchable database.
Alliance PaperChase uses barcode technology to monitor the movement, archiving and destruction of documents, files, cases and archive boxes to provide a comprehensive records management or file tracking system. With the addition of the PaperChase document management module, electronic documents and scanned images may be managed.
Alliance BatchScan is a document scanning solution which scans paper documents using TWAIN compatible document scanners . Documents may be scanned for Indexing into the Alliance Imager document management system or the Alliance PaperChase records management system or saved into a Microsoft Windows folder.
Documents are saved as multi-page TIFF files. Scanned images are displayed on screen as they are being scanned for a visual check, and facilities are provided to rescan a page or the whole document, to add pages, to insert pages or to delete pages.
Global 360 Imaging for Windows ® 4.0 delivers desktop imaging functions in a single, easy-to-use application that enables users to scan, edit and store paper-based documents. With Imaging for Windows, users can easily convert paper-based information into digital documents that can be viewed, edited, OCRd, distributed via email, and posted to or downloaded from the Internet.
Compatible with Microsoft® Windows 7, Windows Vista® and Windows® XP, Imaging for Windows 4.0 introduces a range of new features that enable greater efficiency and productivity, most notably the ability to view and print PDF files and a new Multiple Document Interface (MDI) within the application viewer that lets you display multiple documents at the same time, with each document displayed in its own window. This enables you to work on different document types using a common viewing platform. For example, you can view both a TIFF image from a scanning application and a PDF document on the same screen at the same time.
Imaging for Windows is not included in Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Also available is a software development kit to allow the integration of Imaging for Windows with programming languages such as Visual Basic 6 (VB6).
Scanners
Scanners need application software to drive them. A document management application, such as Alliance Imager document imaging or Alliance PaperChase records management can scan and index the scanned documents. This is typically suited to relatively low volumes of scanning.
For large volumes of scanning a dedicated batch scanning program is recommended. Alliance BatchScan scanning software scans and stores at high speed for subsequent indexing.
Общие сведения о компоненте создания образов Windows
Компонент Windows Imaging Component (WIC) предоставляет расширяемую платформу для работы с изображениями и метаданными изображений. WIC позволяет независимым поставщикам программного обеспечения и независимым поставщикам оборудования (IHV) разрабатывать собственные кодеки изображений и поддерживать ту же самую платформу, что и стандартные форматы изображений (например, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP и Хдфото). Один последовательный набор интерфейсов используется для обработки изображений независимо от формата изображения, поэтому любое приложение, использующее WIC, получает автоматическую поддержку новых форматов изображений сразу после установки кодека. Расширяемая платформа метаданных позволяет приложениям считывать и записывать собственные конфиденциальные метаданные непосредственно в файлы изображений, поэтому метаданные никогда не теряются или не отделяются от изображения.
Этот раздел включает следующие подразделы:
Компоненты компонента работы с образами Windows
Основные возможности WIC:
- Позволяет разработчикам приложений выполнять операции обработки изображений в любом формате изображения через единый последовательный набор общих интерфейсов, не требуя перед этим знания о конкретных форматах изображений.
- Предоставляет расширяемую архитектуру «Plug and Play» для кодеков изображений, форматов пикселей и метаданных с автоматическим обнаружением новых форматов во время выполнения.
- Поддерживает чтение и запись произвольных метаданных в файлах изображений с возможностью сохранять нераспознанные метаданные во время редактирования.
- Сохраняет данные изображений с высоким уровнем глубины, до 32 бит на канал в течение всего конвейера обработки изображений.
- Предоставляет встроенную поддержку для большинства популярных форматов изображений, форматов пикселей и схем метаданных.
Собственные кодеки
Компонент WIC включает несколько встроенных кодеков. С платформой поставляются следующие стандартные кодеки.
Windows Imaging Component Overview
The Windows Imaging Component (WIC) provides an extensible framework for working with images and image metadata. WIC makes it possible for independent software vendors (ISVs) and independent hardware vendors (IHVs) to develop their own image codecs and get the same platform support as standard image formats (for example, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and HDPhoto). A single, consistent set of interfaces is used for all image processing, regardless of image format, so any application using the WIC gets automatic support for new image formats as soon as the codec is installed. The extensible metadata framework makes it possible for applications to read and write their own proprietary metadata directly to image files, so the metadata never gets lost or separated from the image.
This topic includes the following sections.
Windows Imaging Component Features
The primary features of WIC are:
- Enables application developers to perform image processing operations on any image format through a single, consistent set of common interfaces, without requiring prior knowledge of specific image formats.
- Provides an extensible «plug and play» architecture for image codecs, pixel formats, and metadata, with automatic run-time discovery of new formats.
- Supports reading and writing of arbitrary metadata in image files, with the ability to preserve unrecognized metadata during editing.
- Preserves high bit depth image data, up to 32 bits per channel, throughout the image processing pipeline.
- Provides built-in support for most popular image formats, pixel formats, and metadata schemas.
Native Codecs
WIC includes several built-in codecs. The following standard codecs are provided with the platform.
