CSA ISO/IEC 12088-4:00 (R2019)

Scope

ISO/IEC 12087 consists of the three parts which define the functional aspects of this part of ISO/IEC 12088. The Common Architecture for Imaging (IPI-CAI) defines the overall architecture. The Programmer's Imaging Kernel System (IPI-PIKS) and the Image Interchange Facility (IPI-IIF) each specify a language independent, image processing Application Program Interface (API) within the Image Processing and Interchange Standard. Either API may be implemented independently or both may be combined in one implementation. For integration into a programming language, IPI-PIKS and IPI-IIF APIs are embedded in a language dependent layer obeying the particular conventions of that language. This part of ISO/IEC 12088 specifies such a language dependent layer for the C language.
