AIC - The Software
On this page you can download the Advanced Image Coding software. With this software you can:
Open and save files in the following formats:
- Windows Bitmap (.bmp)
- Portable PixMap (.ppm)
- Portable GrayMap (.pgm)
- JPEG (.jpg)
- JPEG-2000 (.jp2)
- Advanced Image Coding (.aic)
When saving a file in a lossy format (JPEG, JPEG-2000 or AIC) you can choose a quality setting and view live results for this setting before saving the file:
Automatically test and compare the JPEG, JPEG-2000 and AIC codecs
This feature runs these codecs on a given image at all quality levels (or every second or every fourth quality level) and shows the results in a chart. The chart displays the Compression vs Quality trade-off and shows the objective image quality at several bit rates. The chart on the Results page are created this way.
Download
The AIC software is written for Windows 32-bit operating systems, including Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP and 2003, although I only tested on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. You can download the software in two ways:
- With a setup program: AICSetup.exe (1.32 MB). This is the easiest way. Just download and start this application to install the AIC software on your computer.
- As a ZIP file: AIC.zip (1.28 MB). If you prefer extracting the software manually.
You can also download the source code to build the software yourself with Embarcadero Delphi.
