Adrenaline Image Processing Engine (AIPE) 4.0 Product Support Overview

AIPE 4.0 is the most recent release of the Adrenaline Image Processing Engine (AIPE) product.

AIPE 4.0 History

The Adrenaline Image Processing Engine (AIPE) version 4.0 was released on 04/28/05. It replaced the AIPE 3.75B product release as the currently supported AIPE release.

What is new in AIPE 4.0

With the release of AIPE 4.0, the Adrenaline Image Processing Engine product release was incorporated into the VirtualReScan (VRS) 4.0 product release. AIPE 4.0 is also available on a non-VRS CD.

Using AIPE 4.0

Installation and operation of the AIPE 4.0 product, with or without VRS 4.0, allows a user to do the following with:

PDFs
- Use their scanner to create a PDF
- Import a PDF from another source
- View PDF files
- Save a file as a PDF from another image file format
Bar Codes:
- Capture and read Standard bar codes
- Capture and read Enhanced bar codes
- Switch between bar code algorithms

With AIPE, the ability to capture and read bar codes has been greatly expanded through the application of color technology. Because color images provide more information to assist in bar code interpretation, this enhanced bar code reader is able to achieve more accurate readings of all supported bar code types at low dpi levels and varying levels of quality.

The Enhanced Bar Code also has the ability to work with grayscale images in addition to having improved bitonal recognition capability. Another significant advancement is the support of two-dimensional (2-D) formats.

Using VRS with the Adrenaline Image Processing Engine

The VRS for Workgroup/Departmental Scanners license and the VRS for Production Scanners license both support the Adrenaline Image Processing Engine (AIPE), which offers image processing features such as standard bar code reading, forms recognition, line removal, and much more. As an option, Enhanced Bar Code recognition is also available with AIPE. See the Enhanced Bar Code Engine appendix in the VRS User’s Manual for more information on how to take full advantage of this functionality.

Note: Because AIPE features are supported only with ImageControls-based and ISIS based applications, the AIPE capabilities will not work with TWAIN applications. If you need these capabilities in connection with a TWAIN application, you can download the Adrenaline TWAIN Data Source from the Kofax Web site.
