Why Image Server

  • Format neutral representation. A Standard API to view and manipulate the data at desired extent and resolution
  • Though it is possible to access any image with multiresolution, especially the formats liKE JPEG 2000 or ndpi, the processing takes time, and not always suitable for web sevice

Hosting an image server

Current dependencies to

  • A database capable of storing binary objects
  • A webserver currently Apache2, if the data needs to be accessed remotely (note it is also possible to directly connect to a database remotely.
  • Server side code to fetch images from database on demand

Adding large image set to the server

Using multiresolution data

Using browser based client

Using desktop application

  • Accessing MongoDB directly
  • Accessing using a webserver

Useful References

PHP

Python
