###About JNBIS JNBIS is a library, written in Java, to extract and decode NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) compressed files and WSQ (Wavelet Scalar Quantization) images. The code has been converted from NBIS (NIST Biometric Image Software) version 1.1 which is written in C. You can find more about NIST Biometric Image Software here.

NOTE: Version 2.x is the active development branch, check branch version/1.x for the older versions.

###Quick Start #####Build and Install JNBIS is available in the maven central repository, so you just need to download and add it to your project libraries or if you are using maven, add it to project dependencies. Maven Central

<dependency>
  <groupId>jnbis</groupId>
  <artifactId>jnbis</artifactId>
  <version>2.x.x</version>
</dependency>

Alternatively, you can clone the source code and build it with maven. You need JDK version 1.8 or higher to build the code.

$ git clone git@github.com:mhshams/jnbis.git
$ cd jnbis
$ mvn package

###Examples #####WSQ Decoding Convert WSQ image to PNG image and return the result as File

File png = Jnbis.wsq()
                .decode("path/to/wsq/file.wsq")
                .toPng()
                .asFile("/path/to/final/file.png");

Convert WSQ image to GIF image and return the result as File

File gif = Jnbis.wsq()
               .decode(new File("path/to/wsq/file.wsq"))
               .toGif()
               .asFile("/path/to/final/file.gif");

Convert WSQ image (as input stream) to JPEG image and return the result as File

File jpg = Jnbis.wsq()
                .decode(wsqInputStream)
                .toJpg()
                .asFile("/path/to/final/file.jpg");

Convert WSQ image to PNG image and return the result as InputStream

 InputStream pngStream = Jnbis.wsq()
                              .decode("path/to/wsq/file.wsq")
                              .toPng()
                              .asInputStream();

Convert WSQ image to GIF image and return the result as Byte Array

byte[] gifBytes = Jnbis.wsq()
                       .decode(new File("path/to/wsq/file.wsq"))
                       .toGif()
                       .asByteArray();

For more examples check the SampleWsqTest.java in the project source. #####NIST Decoding Decode a NIST file with given file name

Nist nist = Jnbis.nist().decode("/path/to/nist/file"));

Decode a NIST file with given File instance

Nist nist = Jnbis.nist().decode(new File("/path/to/nist/file")));

Decode a NIST file with given InputStream instance

Nist nist = Jnbis.nist().decode(nistInputStream));

Nist instance contains different types of data, depending on file type. Here is a sample code that extract all fingerprints and save them in individual files.

Nist nist = Jnbis.nist().decode(new File("/path/to/nist/file")));

for (HighResolutionGrayscaleFingerprint fp : nist.getHiResGrayscaleFingerprints()) {
    Jnbis.wsq()
        .decode(fp.getImageData())
        .toPng()
        .asFile("/path/fp-" + fp.getImageDesignationCharacter() + ".png");
}

For more examples check the SampleNistTest.java and AnsiReferencesTest.java in the project source.
