WSQ image library (for fingerprints)

WSQ image library (for fingerprints) WSQ format is by far the highest quality format for storing fingerprints and surpasses all compression algorithms such as JPEG. In this regard, WSQ format was chosen by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as the standard for storing fingerprints. WSQ allows data compression with high rate of compression (12:1 -15:1) without any loss and is perfect for compressing black and white drawings/photos with maximum details and resolution. Cognaxon WSQ image library is a library providing handling with WSQ format while developing your software. It allows you to read, write and convert graphics in 32 different formats (including WSQ). The library has high performance and speed while being small in size. The library supports formats for reading: WSQ, BMP, TIFF, TIF, JPG, JPEG, JPEG, JPE, PNG, GIF, PSP, JFIF, RLE, DIB, TGA,WIN,VST,VDA,ICB, FAX, EPS, PCX, PCC, SCR, RPF, RLA, SGI, RGBA, RGB, BW, PSD, PDD, PPM, PGM, PBM, CEL, PIC, PCD, CUT, IFF, ICO, WMF, EMF. The library supports writing formats: WSQ, BMP,TIFF, PNG, JPEG,RGB,TGA. Adding the library to your project is easy enough - just 2-3 operations, and a couple lines of programming code! Along with the library we provide examples to work with: Microsoft Visual C++ / Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, Microsoft Visual C# .NET, Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Borland C++ Builder, Borland Delphi, Sun Java, PowerBASIC.
