Dear sharmilap,

According IPP manual:

The Intel IPP software work with two-dimensional arrays of data, not an image abstraction, thus providing lower-level image processing functions than in most other image processing libraries. This serves the following major goals:

To free developers from the necessity of filling specific structures that describe image data and architecture;
To achieve a maximum function performance by avoiding the structures field parsing and code branching;
To provide a collection of simple and obvious lower-level functions to facilitate incorporation within an existing application or architecture.

So, it is application's responsibility toparse the particular file's format and so on.

Regards,
Vladimir
