WSQ Image Library - Fingerprint Compression SDK

Key Features

• For fingerprint images WSQ (Wavelet Scalar Quantization) is superior to other lossy compression methods, such as JPEG, and was chosen by FBI (U.S.
• Federal Bureau of Investigation) as the fingerprint image compression standard.WSQ is a lossy compression method that is well-suited for preserving the very high resolution details of grayscale images while maintaining high compression ratios of typically 12:1 to 15:1.Cognaxon WSQ image library provides the easy way to add WSQ image format support to your software projects.
• WSQ image library reads and converts between WSQ and 11 other graphic file formats, it is small (~ 1.5 Megabyte) and fast, and has graphics format conversion utility.Supported formats for reading:WSQ - FBI\'s Wavelet Scalar QuantizationBMP - Windows Bitmap GraphicsTIFF - Tagged Information File FormatPNG - Portable Network GraphicsJPEG - Joint Photographic Experts GroupRGB - Silicon Graphics InternationalTGA - Truevision Targa GraphicGIF - Compuserve Graphic Interchange FormatCEL - Animator Graphic (FLC and FLI formats)PSD - Adobe Photoshop (LAB or CMYK formats not supported)IFF - Amiga Bitmap Graphic (8 bits)PCX - PC Paintbrush Bitmap GraphicSupported formats for writing:WSQ - FBI\'s Wavelet Scalar QuantizationBMP - Windows Bitmap GraphicsTIFF - Tagged Information File Format (no LZW compression)PNG - Portable Network GraphicsJPEG - Joint Photographic Experts GroupRGB - Silicon Graphics International (uncompressed)TGA - Truevision Targa GraphicAdding WSQ image library to your software project is very easy.
• Only 2-3 steps and several lines of code are needed.
