AccuSoft introduces support in ImageGear 14.5 for RAW files used in over 70 different cameras from 12 manufacturers as well as the Adobe DNG and TIFF/EP formats.
- Native handling of bit-depths and color spaces
With ImageGear 14.5, pixel storage has been completely re-designed providing for the storage of any pixel data natively. This results in no data/precision loss regardless of the image type or bit-depth.
Whether you have 36-bit RGB image, or 32-bit CMYK image, a 48-bit CIELab image, or 64-bit RGBa image, ImageGear will load, process, and save a file in its native format without downgrading/upgrading it to a 24-bit image, maintaining the integrity of the image throughout.
Additionally, image channels do not have to be the same bit depth. This makes the native handling of an RGB image with varied bit-depths, for example (3,7,15), to be as easy as an RGB image with similar bit-depths, for example (8, 8, 8).
- Improved color conversion capabilities
ImageGear 14.5 offers a comprehensive API to work with the new DIB storage. The API abilities include: conversion between color spaces, extraction of image channels, changing of channels' bit-depths, and the import/export of data to Microsoft DIB format.
ICC profiles are also taken into account so you can be assured that all color space conversions preserve crystal clear colors.
- Automatic conversion between color spaces and depths
One of the core capabilities of the new ImageGear 14.5 kernel is a raster converter that is able to convert raster images between nearly all possible combinations of source and destination color spaces, allowing for images to be saved without being explicitly converted.
- Improved/simplified alpha channel handling
The alpha channel data is now stored together with color channels, allowing for all channels to be processed at the same time. This ensures that all channels stay in sync after image processing operations such as rotate and resize are applied and that the alpha channel is automatically blended into color channels during display.
ImageGear 14.5 also supports both pre-multiplied and non pre-multiplied alpha and allows the use of more than one alpha channel via the concept of "extra channels".
RunEnds has now been completely re-written to handle large images, removing a previous limitation on 32/64-k images.
The new ImageGear 14.5 QuickTime Component provides streaming access to video and audio data in QuickTime movie files through the ImageGear 14.5 multimedia API.
The ImageGear 14.5 DirectShow source filter provides source data for other filters in a DirectShow filter graph. It can load still image formats that ImageGear supports, as well as animated GIF files and QuickTime movies.
DirectShow is Microsoft's multimedia platform, providing a means of building and running directed graphs of filters. There are several types of filters, such as source, transform, and renderer, and they connect through output and input pins.
ImageGear 14.5 provides an enhanced JPEG2000 Component with new control parameters to improve the loading and tiling process of JPEG2000 images.
Guarantee The Conformance of Your Application
The DICOM specification is large, complex and specifies behavior at a number of different layers for applications, communications and protocols. To maximize your opportunity, it is critical to ensure your solution's compatibility and conformance at all of these layers. To this end, ImageTransport MD completely automates the lower layers of the DICOM specification, allowing developers to concentrate on the top layer—the application behavior layer—and enabling them to obtain the features required for their applications, thus facilitating timely development.
A Proven Solution
ImageTransport MD is currently being used at hundreds of sites around the world, and has been tested against every major vendor in all modalities. The toolkit has been a part of every RSNA-HIMSS IHE* initiative. Applications written with the toolkit have passed all the stringent DICOM compliance tests mandated by IHE.
Increase Customer Satisfaction
AccuSoft tests the image-handling routines against some of the most troubling non-standard variations of known image formats to ensure that your customers are far less likely to encounter problems. Our unified API for handling all image formats requires less coding, and that means you can produce more reliable code, faster and easier than ever before.
Easily Customize Solutions
The ImageTransport MD toolkit includes 13 groups of SOP classes. For deployment, you are free to offer any/all of these classes so you can easily customize your applications to best meet the dynamic and unique requirements of any given project.
