INTRODUCTION TO
INTERFACE STANDARD

 Interface standards determine how data from
acquisition devices like scanners and digital
cameras flow to the computer in an efficient way.
Two main interface standards exist: TWAIN and ISIS

 TWAIN is a very important standard in image


acquisition developed by Hewlett Packard, Kodak,
Aldus, Logitech which specifies how image
acquisition devices such as scanners, digital
cameras and other devices transfer data to
software applications.
 It is basically an image capture API for Microsoft
windows and Apple Macintosh platforms. The
standard was first released in 1992 and
currently has a version of 1.9 as of January
2000.

 The word TWAIN is from Kipling's 'the Ballad of


East and West' in which he wrote. and never
the twain shall meet TWAIN is a software
protocol which regulates the flow of
information between software applications and
imaging devices like scanners.
 The standard is managed by the TWAIN working
group which is non profit organization with
representative from leading imaging vendors.

 The goals of the working group included: multiple


platform, support for different types of devices of
devices like flatbed scanners, handheld scanners,
image capture boards, digital cameras etc…

 provide a well-defined standard that gains


support and acceptance from leading hardware
and software developers, provide extensibility
and ability to grow with industry needs, easy
to implement with clear documentation,
support different types of data like bitmap
images, vector images, text etc.

SPECIFICATIONS OF DIGITAL

DIGITAL IMAGE
SPECIFICATIONS

Pixel Dimensions
 The number of pixels along the height and width of a
bitmap image is known as the pixel dimensions of the
image. The display size of an image on screen is
determined by the pixel dimensions of the image plus the
size and setting of the monitor.

Image Resolution
 The number of pixels displayed per unit length of the
image is known as image resolution, usually measured in
pixels per inch (ppi) An image with a high resolution
contains more and therefore smaller pixels than an
image with a low resolution.
File Size
 The digital size of an image measured in kilobytes,
megabytes, or gigabytes is proportional to the pixel
dimensions of the image. Images with more pixels may
produce more detail but they require more storage space
and may be slower to edit and print.

Color Depth
 This defines the number of bits required to store the
information of each pixel in the image, and in turn
determines the total number of possible colors that
can be displayed in the image. Photographic images
usually need a depth of 24-bits for true representations.
Increasing the bit depth increases the capability of
displaying a larger number of colors but it also
increases the file size of the image.
