Using GdPicture.NET in WPF Application

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

Hi,

I create this post to catch your attention on a thread that I created on the forum demonstrating how to use GdPicture.NET in WPF application.

- Using GdViewer in a WPF Window
- Converting a GdPicture image to a BitmapSource object, and uses the JpegBitmapEncoder to subsequently save the BitmapSource to a jpegfile.
- Using GdPictureImaging from code side.

You will be able to download a standalone application explaining these 3 scenarios.

See:
http://forums.gdpicture.com/gdpicture-net-wpf-applications-f52/using-gdpicture-net-wpf-application-t3187.html

We should release soon pure WPF controls that will takes profit of the Direct3D API.

Cheers !

  • Forms Processing features

GdPicture Forms Processing Plugin Overview:

Template Recognition can help to align area to be processed by filters, OMR, OCR or barcode recognition. For example, if several documents are scanned of the same form, and the scanning orientation or quality is not guaranteed, the GdPicture Anchoring System can be used to specify the orientation of each document and the translation made to each document from the one where the user selected their Areas (surrounding rectangles).

Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) helps to detect the content of a checkbox, fill-in-area , multiple choice examination form, or any area where highlighting is required to indicate a certain choice.

Main features:

  • accurate & fast Optical Mark Detection (OMR)

  • enhance OCR zoning accuracy
  • low memory usage
  • royalty-free licensing: no distribution license required for server or desktop
