iipsrv - Light-weight streaming for viewing and zooming of ultra high-resolution images
- Description:
Light-weight streaming client-server system for the web-based viewing and
zooming of ultra high-resolution images. It is designed to be bandwidth
and memory efficient and usable even over a slow internet connection.
The system can handle both 8 and 16 bit images, CIELAB colorimetric images and
scientific imagery such as multispectral images. The fast streaming is
tile-based meaning the client only needs to download the portion of the whole
image that is visible on the screen of the user at their current viewing
resolution and not the entire image.
This makes it possible to view, navigate and zoom in real-time around
multi-gigapixel size images that would be impossible to download and
manipulate on the local machine. It also makes the system very scalable as
the number of image tile downloads will remain the same regardless of the
size of the source image. In addition, to reduce the bandwidth necessary even
further, the tiles sent back are dynamically JPEG compressed with a level of
compression that can be optimized for the available bandwidth by the client.
