LEADTOOLS provides a powerful set of functions spanning the full spectrum of digital imaging, including in-depth support to acquire images and capture from Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) devices.
Overview of LEADTOOLS WIA SDK Technology
- Supports WIA 1.0 and 2.0 drivers
- Save images as any of the more than 150 formats—including JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, TIFF, PDF, and DOC/DOCX—to disk, memory, database, and SharePoint
- Use default WIA user interface, create a custom interface, or show no interface for completely automated batch acquisition
- Control bit depth, resolution, and position of the acquired image
- Control automatic document feeder (ADF)
- Scan front and back of the page at once (Duplex)
- Data transferred from the device can be compressed with JPEG, JBIG, JPEG 2000, PNG, RLE, CCITT G3, or CCITT G4, reducing the transfer bottle neck
- Set WIA 1.0 and 2.0 properties
- Memory and file transfer modes
- Select source of acquisition
- Determine device type
- 32 and 64-bit binaries for WIA
- Add WIA to .NET (C# & VB), C/C++, WPF, and web applications
