Loading an Image

SmartZone ICR/OCR have no native ability to load an image from a file and will throw an exception when asked to process a color or grayscale image. Typically, Accusoft's ImagXpress component, provided with the SmartZone ICR/OCR, will be used to open a 1-bit black and white image file. ImagXpress also provides the ability to binarize color images to make them black and white.

Streaming Information

SmartZone ICR/OCR provide the ability to read and write to a stream using the ReadFromStream (ICR: ReadFromStream; OCR: ReadFromStream) and WriteToStream (ICR: WriteToStream; OCR: WriteToStream) methods.
