TrueSpectra Announces Support for Sun's Java Advanced Imaging API; Imaging Solution for E-Commerce Embraces Java Technology.SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 15, 1999-- TrueSpectra, a leading Internet imaging software developer, announced today its support for Sun's new Java(TM) Advanced Imaging application programming interface (API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. ), which is being released at this week's JavaOne conference. TrueSpectra used the Java Advanced Imaging For other uses, see Jai. Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) is a Java platform extension API that provides a set of object-oriented interfaces that support a simple, high-level programming model which allows developers to create their own image manipulation routines without (JAI JAI Java Advanced Imaging JAI Justice et Affaires Interiéures (French: Justice and Home Affairs) JAI Journal of ASTM International JAI Just An Idea JAI Jazz Alliance International JAI Joint Africa Institute ) framework in developing Iris Accelerate for the Java platform Running Java programs under the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Java "platform" refers to the running of Java programs versus Java itself, which is a programming language. Java programs are machine independent and run intact on any hardware platform that has a Java interpreter (JVM). , a server solution for publishing high-resolution images in any format to the Web. Iris Accelerate is the foundation for the recently launched Iris Network In the Beyond Good & Evil franchise, the IRIS Network is a secret underground newspaper organization that formed during the DomZ conflict. When the DomZ come to a planet, the Alpha Section: an elite mercenary team dedicated to "preserving the peace and saving lives" come to the planet at Imaging family, which enables the personalization Custom tailoring information to the individual. On the Web, personalization means returning a page that has been customized for the user, taking into consideration that person's habits and preferences. of images on e-retailing sites. This imaging solution is expected to take today's visually challenging e-commerce experience beyond a simple online catalog Similar to an online library or databases in the information storage respect, ‘’’online catalogs’’’ allow potential customers to browse a company’s items for sale from a different location using the internet. approach to a consumer-driven virtual store experience, ultimately turning online shoppers into buyers. By taking advantage of key functions within the Java Advanced Imaging API such as multi-threading, network imaging and image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished , Iris Accelerate for the Java platform represents one of the first products to demonstrate the Java Advanced Imaging API's extensible capabilities. "Iris Accelerate for the Java platform is an exciting new product based on the powerful imaging capabilities of the Java Advanced Imaging API," said Ken Okin, vice president and general manager, Workstation Products at Sun Microsystems Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA[3]) is an American vendor of computers, computer components, computer software, and information-technology services, founded on 24 February 1982. , Inc. Iris Accelerate for the Java platform, announced today at JavaOne (see related release), is an open, extensible architecture designed to help internal web managers and consulting web developers automate the current manual process of preparing, deploying and managing web site images. Based on a new network-centric or "web way" of working with images, the software significantly increases a site's ability to respond to internal requests for image changes and improves the productivity and competitiveness associated with designing, producing and maintaining a quality web site. "The functionality of the Java Advanced Imaging API makes Java a choice platform for imaging," said Sasa Radulovic, vice president of product development for TrueSpectra. "The Java technology developer community is at the forefront of e-commerce and TrueSpectra is absolutely committed to helping drive the next wave of imaging application development with the Java Advanced Imaging API." The Java(TM) Advanced Imaging API extends the Java platform by allowing sophisticated, high-performance image processing to be incorporated in Java programming language applets and applications. The Java Advanced Imaging API is available as a standard extension to the Java platform. The Java Advanced Imaging API implements a set of core image processing capabilities, such as image tiling, regions of interest and deferred execution. It also provides a set of core image processing operators, including many common point, area and frequency domain operators.
