LuraTech and Atalasoft Partner to Offer Fast, Easy and High
Quality Image Compression in .Net Environments
Redwood City, Calif. - LuraTech, the leader in open standard image compression
software, together with Atalasoft, advanced imaging solution provider for .NET,
have partnered to deliver high compression options for images scanned in a .NET
environment. LuraTech's LuraWave JP2 and LuraDocument JBIG2 products, combined
with the Atalasoft DotImage imaging toolkit, enables enterprise content
management providers to offer quick and cost efficient compressed color and B/W
images with improved overall image quality and flexibility.
Atalasoft's DotImage is a full-featured Microsoft .NET imaging toolkit for
raster and document based imaging applications in .NET or ASP.NET. It also
includes a codec add-on for reading and writing JPEG2000 images. The toolkit
now includes image compression options via LuraTech's LuraWave JP2 and
LuraDocument JBIG2 products. Still image compression product LuraWave JP2 is
based on the open standard JPEG2000/Part1 and is ideally suited for web-based
graphics, databases and mobile communications. LuraDocument JBIG2 compresses
black/white content and allows both lossless and lossy compression, meeting a
full range of quality and file size needs.
"We selected LuraTech because of the superior quality and increased speed
that their products offer," said Bill Bither, President and Chief Architect
for Atalasoft. "LuraTech's high-performance, C interface libraries will be
integrated into our flagship product, DotImage, bringing to market a JPEG2000
and JBIG2 codec that fully conforms to the JPEG2000 and JBIG2 specifications."
Based on the open imaging standard JPEG2000, the toolkit provides both Lossy and
Lossless image compression, as well as a greater range of options in what images
can be compressed and at what levels. For example, users can conduct region of
interest compression to specify an area of the image with higher quality. The
product also offers full metadata support.
"Proprietary imaging standards that restrict what and how images are
compressed are a thing of the past and only those based on open standards such
as JPEG2000 and JBIG2 can adequately support customers' needs," said
Carsten Heiermann, president of LuraTech. "Atalasoft shares our vision for
open standard-based image compression and this partnership offers .NET companies
a means to experience immediate benefits from the superior speed and quality of
our combined imaging and compression technology."
