JPedal JBIG2 Image decoder

The JPedal JBIG2 Image Decoder is a 100% pure Java image decoder for the JBIG2 file format. The decoder takes the JBIG2 image processing technology developed for the JPedal PDF renderer and makes it available as a generic library for more general usage.

It offers the ability to allow developers to add JBIG2 image rendering capabilities to their own applications, through a simple and easy to use API. In its simplest form it allows developers to load in a JBIG2 encoded datastream and convert that into a BufferedImage.

JAI plug-in

The JPedal JBIG2 Image Decoder also acts as a plug-in for the ImageIO framework. Including the jbig2.jar on the classpath seamlessly enables the decoding of JBIG2 images with the single line:

BufferedImage biImage = ImageIO.read(new File("C:/file.jbig2"));

For a complete example using the JAI plug-in, a code example is included in:

• org.jpedal.jbig2.examples.jai.JBIG2ReaderPluginTester

Licensing

The software is available under the BSD license. Support is available on a commercial basis.

Both should bring up a demo window looking like this:

Using the Decoder in your code

The library can used by adding the jar file to the classpath. A code example is included in:

• org.jpedal.jbig2.examples.viewer.JBIG2Viewer is a very simple example which allows jbig2 image files to be opened and displayed.
