WSQ File plugin

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

For anyone interested in editing fingerprint images, I've crafted a WSQ File Format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelet_Scalar_Quantization) plugin for Paint.NET; 

 

This plugin is based on original code provided by the NIST (http://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/ig/nbis.cfm).

It should work on x86 and x64 machines, given you install the Visual C++ 2010 SP1 runtime:

You'll also need at least .NET 3.5 Client profile as well (which by the way should already be installed if you use Paint.NET).

 

The plugin is attached to this post (as well as a sample fingerprint image). As usual, to install the plugin, simply copy the three DLL in the attached zip to your C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\FileTypes\ directory.

 

 

Source code is available at github: https://github.com/odalet/Delta/tree/master/Delta.Wsq

 

There is room for improvements (support for embedded comments, specification of bitrate alongside of "quality"...) but though it's usable (I do).

 

Regards, Olivier

That's a nice job Oliver.  Thanks!

 

WSQ = Wavelet Scalar Quantization.

 

As usual, to install the plugin, simply copy the three DLL in the attached zip to your C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\FileTypes\ directory.

 

Just to clarify:  There are four dll's.  You need to copy over Delta.Wsq.dll, PdnWsq.dll and one of nbis32.dll or nbis64.dll depending on whether your pc is running 32 bit or 64 bit windows.

Thanks, and yes you're right, there are 4 DLLs, and indeed, the simplest way to install it is to copy all the 4 DLLs to the FileTypes directory (regardless of the machine bitness, for Delta.Wsq.dll selects at runtime what native implementation to use based on the machine's bitness).

 

By the way, the image is also free of rights as it was captured from my own left index (ain't it handsome!)

 

PS: it's Olivier, not Oliver, but you're forgiven (I know how hard it is for English speakers to say it...)

My apologies. I tend to speed read everything :(  

 

Oh-li-vie-ay?

It's in the zip file at the bottom of the first post.
