WIA SDK Libraries

Download

LEADTOOLS provides a powerful set of libraries that span the full spectrum of documents and image, including in-depth APIs for .NET Framework, C++ Class Library, C#, VB, and C/C++ to acquire images and capture from WIA devices.

Complete WIA Libraries

LEADTOOLS libraries include APIs to interface with devices with WIA version 1 and 2 drivers. These APIs make it possible to control every property of the driver, capture from flatbed and ADF (simplex and duplex) scanners, control bit depth, resolution, and specify an area to capture, and negotiate the file system of devices such as digital cameras, to import images. Once the image is acquired, you have access of additional LEADTOOLS components such as:

"We have been using LEADTOOLS since the development of our first product version of the dhs Image Database in 1994. We chose LEAD because all our requirements could be covered with one tool. The dhs Image Database has been used worldwide for over 25 years as a modular image management system in the QA and the laboratory area for archiving, recording, processing, anaylsis, and documentation. We started using LEADTOOLS for reading, writing, and visualizing the already extensive number of different image formats. We’ve also started to add in annotations throughout our time using LEADTOOLS we have never experienced any major issues. Their support team has always been informative and quick to help!"

"We selected MiPACS as the anchor solution for Pacific Dental Services 1VU, our modern-day approach to dental image management. With 800+ offices across the US, an enterprise focused imaging solution was a must-have requirement. MiPACS integrates seamlessly with our Practice Management System EPIC, supports the sensor, panoramic and CBCT devices we want to use, and includes an HTML5 zero-footprint web viewer. It gave us confidence that MiPACS is built using the LEADTOOLS Medical Developer Toolkit. LEADTOOLS powers many enterprise applications and solutions, so we knew that MiPACS had a solid foundation backed by technology that would solve our current and future needs."
