Description

KOST-Simy is a Java-based application for automated visual comparison of BMP, JPEG, JP2, TIFF, GIF, PNG, and PDF/A respectively PDF files with an integrated JPEG or JP2 file. It is an open source application under a GPL v3+ licence. KOST-Simy uses unmodified components of other manufacturers by embedding them directly into the source code.

Funtional Principle

KOST-Simy complies with the following requirements.

PDF and PDF/A: Using iText KOST-Simy extract the JPEG or JP2 image so then the normal image-comparison can be performed.

• Image comparison: KOST-Simy performs a visual comparison of two images using ImageMagickCompare. KOST-Simy evaluated the intermediate result further and then displayed the result.
• PDF and PDF/A: Using iText KOST-Simy extract the JPEG or JP2 image so then the normal image-comparison can be performed.

The results (including deviations, which are outside the tolerances) are output and written to a log file. In addition, the mask with the deviations is stored in the log directory.

Third-party applications

KOST-Simy uses unmodified components of other manufacturers by embedding them directly into the source code. Users of KOST-Simy are requested to adhere to these components ‘terms of licence.

• KOST-Simy performs a visual comparison of two images using ImageMagickCompare.
• To extract the JPEG and JP2 images from PDF/A the iText library is used.
