Image Processor Overview

This document introduces to the Image Processor library.

Purpose

Image Processor is specially developed +for imaging on mobile devices. The main objective is to create powerful applications:

Photo editors
Viewers
Cameras.

Image Processor library details

The DLL that provides +the functionality and the library to which your code must link is identified +below.

+ + + +DLL +LIB +Short Description + + + + +

imageprocessor.dll

imageprocessor.lib

These files are used for implementing Image Processor operations.

Architectural relationship

Image Processor is designed +with hardware constraints often associated with mobile devices in mind. The +Image Processor framework minimizes both memory consumption and the CPU power +required.

The diagrammatic representation of the Image Processor library +is as follows:

Image Processor

Image Processor is a high-level +library and framework. Image Processor encapsulates all the internal processing +and basic functionality required to create applications. Basic functions include

initiate image processing
decode images
zoom images
pan images
render images to screen or file.

The Image Processor library also allows some geometrical operations +to the image:

rotate or flip
crop.

Optionally, the Image Processor library supports

effects
overlays.

Image Processor Adaptation Plug-in

The Image Processor +adaptation plug-in is an attachable component which implements the features +of the Image Processor library. The Image Processor adaptation plug-ins are +dependant on the Image Processor library, and will not function as standalone +components.

Note: You must write your own Image Processor adaptation +plug-in, because the Image Processor adaptation plug-in is not provided.

Key Image Processor Class

The principal classes +of the Image Processor library are as follows:

ImageProcessor::CImgProcessor, which provides a +convenient interface to process images.
ImageProcessor::TEffect, which is the parent class +of all effects, for example, ImageProcessor::TEffectAntique.

Using Image Processor

Image Processor is used for +the following:

To initialize and process an input image
To apply effects and filters to the image.
Overlay images onto an image.
To render a low resolution preview of the image for display on screen.
To render a high resolution compressed image to disk or memory.
