I am working on a small project for a community archive and am looking for some components to handle scanning of images and importing images directly from a camera. Can anyone recommend any good TWAIN components? I used to use the ones from MCM Design, but they seem to be no longer supported. Freeware components would be great (I am trying to keep the cost as low as possible for the project) but commercial components would be considered.

It would be nice if the components support features such as cropping and de-speckling images etc, but not essential.

Any suggestions most welcome.

  1. I use imageen as image library. This library have support for Twain and WIA, controls for displaying images (single and multiple), hundred of image formats support including raw and psd, editing tools like brush, image resize with filters, image rotation, image affine transform, etc. An optional library IEVision includes some features from opencv including image classification, barcode recognition, face recognition, panorama stitching, background substraction, etc.

  2. I have taken a look and I think that imageen would certainly work, but sadly it is going to be out of the price range of the community project. So, any lower cost, or freeware library suggestions are still welcome.

  3. If it is for window i have source i used in my window
    program to catch a camera picture. It has an dynamic
    (with mouse ) area to save.
    Based on TFilterGraph; TSampleGrabber; TVideoWindow;
    If you want get in touch for source.

  4. shlomo abuisak Thanks for your offer. It is more importing images that have been taken on a camera, so I am not sure what you suggest is quite what I am looking for.

    I have also found http://www.intervalsoftware.com/envision.html, which may do what I need, in case anyone else is looking.

    This one is a Twain component
    How ever "importing images that have been taken on a camera" has
    to do with TWAIN?
    Can you elaborate?

  6. The primary purpose of the components would be to interface with a scanner. I am hoping to allow the user to connect the camera to the host PC via USB and either transferring the files using MTP (which some cameras support, I believe) or USB storage (which means that I would want to know the drive that had been used to mount the storage and where the images are located).

    I appreciate that some of the above may need to be handled manually, but was looking for something that may save me a little time.

  7. Martyn Spencer i have that too "interface with a scanner"

  11. Martyn Spencer I've had great results with the Envision library for going on two decades now, including TWAIN scanning.
