Cooperation with Alinari: LuraWave.jp2 for the oldest photo archive in the world

Major success for the leading JPEG2000 Implementation of LuraWave.jp2: The Italian company Fratelli Alinari, that owns the oldest photo archive in the world, is using LuraWave.jp2 to test JPEG2000 capabilities for digitalizing selected photos of its unique collection. "We have one of the largest digital photo archives in the world, enriched recently by the collections of Roger Violet (France), Interfoto (Germany) and Corbis (US). Many images are available on the internet so they can be used by professionals and students anywhere in the world. Therefore it is vital that the photos are of excellent quality while also having the small size to ensure fast data transfer and short loading times in the internet. With Algo Vision LuraTech we have found a professional partner in the area of image data compression and look forward to the results of the test project," comments Andrea de Polo, head of the New Technologies Office at Fratelli Alinari.

Reap the benefits of experience: Workshops with partners and users

In June, two LuraDocument workshops will be held bringing you triple benefit. In a vivid presentation you are able to learn more about the advantages of LuraDocument technology and its areas of use. Our partner will present LuraDocument to you as an integrated solution into his software. And much more importantly: longtime users will be glad to share their experiences. In addition to basic issues of archiving, there will also be a special discussion on archiving in color.

June 26, 2003, Berlin with our regional test center minuskel screen partner GmbH
July 24, 2003, Dortmund with GFT Solutions GmbH

New customers: Decision for LuraDocument and LuraWave.jp2

Many new customers have chosen data compression products from Algo Vision LuraTech for their solutions, for example:
  • NEC Software is using LuraWave.jp2 C-SDKs to integrate JPEG2000. NEC Software is also using LuraDocument C-SDK.
  • Waid, France, is using LuraWave.jp2 under a company license in all its medical imaging solutions, for example DICOM Viewer
  • The Neuss and Dinslaken hospitals are using LuraDocument together with iMedOne, a product of our partner ITB GmbH.
  • Visus GmbH is integrating LuraWave.jp2 in their PACS System JiveX for Windows and Linux by means of Java/JNI-SDKs
  • Tensing Geoinformation GmbH will be joining us as a new partner in the area of geo information systems, with an emphasis on aerial images


 


Who actually delivers my LuraDocument and LuraWave.jp2?

Only one possible answer: Algo Vision LuraTech GmbH, Algo Vision LuraTech, Inc. and of course our partners. Again and again doubts have arisen as to who will continue running LuraTech GmbH. Following Algo Vision's acquisition of all LuraTech GmbH rights and agreements in March 2002, however, there is no doubt about this whatsoever: Algo Vision LuraTech alone has exclusive ownership of the rights to the top products LuraWave, LuraWave.jp2 and LuraDocument – and can therefore rightly be called the compression specialist par excellence.

Talk to us if you need a leading implementation for JPEG2000, if you require compression for scanned color documents, or if you are a LuraWave customer!

ImageWork, New York, is the first international proof-of-concept center

The successful concept of regional test centers is now being practiced on an international level. Until now, potential customers mostly from Germany have been able to try out LuraDocument for use in everyday archival activities by bringing in documents to the regional test centers and using them in simple, very practical tests. Now this is also possible in the New York area: We are delighted with the recently opened, first international "Proof-of-Concept Center" at the ImageWork company in White Plains, New York.

The advantage of the regional test center or proof-of-concept centers for the customer is obvious: The centers have practical customer examples for using LuraDocument in the workflow, from scanning to archiving. The staff at the centers also know LuraDocument from daily use in their own work, and will be happy to share this experience with you! So take a few of the documents you would like to archive and make an appointment to visit ImageWork. Or to another regional test center near you:
