Image/IPTCInfo/RasterCaption version 0.01 ========================================= DESCRIPTION Add to "Image::IPTCInfo" support for the IPTC IIM4 Dataset 2:125 Rasterized Caption. This module sub-classes Josh Carter's "Image::IPTCInfo", and you should consult the the Image::IPTCInfo manpage for details of how to use it before proceding with this documentation. BACKGROUND The IPTC is the International Press & Telecommunications Council. The IIM4 is version four of the Information Interchange Model, which amongst other things allows the embedding of text (and now XML) within images (though XML support is not yet provided by the Perl modules in this namespace). The IPTC IIM4 specification describes a rasterized caption as containing "...the rasterized object data description and is used where characters that have not been coded are required for the caption." Not repeatable, 7360 octets, consisting of binary data,one bit per pixel,two value bitmap where 1 (one) represents black and 0 (zero) represents white. -- IPTC-NAA Information Interchange Model Version No. 4, http://www.iptc.org, October 1997, Page 41 INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install The tests are pretty basic, since I'm not giving away image recognition technology ;) DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: Image::IPTCInfo Image::Magick COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Put the correct copyright and licence information here.
