- Description:
- ------------
- Advanced image editing, enhancement and analysis software.
-
-
- Some of the features:
- ---------------------
- ╖ Read/write BMP, ICO, CUR, WMF, EMF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, PCX and JPEG 2000 files
- ╖ Read RAS, PNM, PGM, PPM, HIPS and Matlab files
- ╖ Scanner and printer support
- ╖ Build-in conventional and adaptive filters
- ╖ User specified filters in spatial and frequency domain
- ╖ Distance, Fourier and discrete cosine transformation
- ╖ Restoration by (blind) deconvolution
- ╖ Color model conversion: RGB, CMY, HSI, Lab, PCA, YCbCr and YIQ
- ╖ Easy red-eye removal
- ╖ Morphological operations
- ╖ Resize, rotate, crop and warping
- ╖ Math expression module for creating and transforming images
- ╖ Advanced "pocket" calculator with equation solver
- ╖ Plugin system for image processing and extended file format support
-
-
- Short description of MAP file format:
- -------------------------------------
- File header:
- MAP : 3 bytes The characters 'MAP'
- Version : DWord 1
- PixelFormat : DWord $01 : Byte data
- $02 : Word data
- $40 : Single floating point data (32 bit)
- $80 : Double floating point data (64 bit)
- Width, Height : DWord Image size
- Planes : Byte 1 : Real values
- 2 : Complex values (real,imaginary)
- Compression : Byte 0 : None, raw data
- 1 : Deflate compressed (default)
- 2 : Another variant of LZ77
-
- Following is the data compressed as specified by the Compression parameter.
- For complex data the real plane is stored first and then the complex plane.
- The data is stored line by line, left to right from top to bottom.
- The present version of Image Analyzer always uses the deflate compression
- for writing files. Description of the Deflate standard can be found at
- http://www.gzip.org/zlib/zlib_docs.html
