directINF
Read file info's from TIFF, GIF, PCX, BMP…
directINF is a ActiveX / COM-library in order to infer properties as color deep, image size, compression algorithm and document names from more than 30 different file formats as TIFF, GIF, PCX and BMP. The library can be used easily with Visual Basic.
The object "ImageInfo" provides image file info in a easy way. After writing to the property "filename" all file informations can be requested. If you need to handle multipaged documents, use the property "page" to scroll though. The library provides fast access to all image properties, because there is no access made to the compressed image data.
Only those properties your requested where accessed. It is possible to request a classification of the image data as chart, photo or photorealistic. If you request the property "ContentClass" then the whole image is readen with a very fast alghorithm. The image content is estimated and classified using statistic and heuristic methods.
