National Gallery IIPImage

IIPImage is an Open Source 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.

National Gallery IIPImage example viewers

Example screenshots of a basic image annotation system can be at: National Gallery IIPImage: Annotation.
This example IIPImage javascript client demonstrates how groups of images can be displayed as a simple film strip set-up, and then selected images are displayed with the full IIP Zooming functionaltiy. Older version of this concept can be seen here and here.
This example IIPImage javascript client demonstrates how zooming on several images can be linked together for image comparison.
An IIPImage based system that displays the entire collection, at full resolution, all at the same time has been created has been created and can be found here. This example displays the possibility of displaying multiple image together in one client
The Raphael Research Resource, funded by the Museums and Art Conservation section of the The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, it is a prototype system desinged to store and display a wide range of museum related information and makes extensive use of IIPImage.

National Gallery IIPImage: Test and Experiments

This example IIPImage javascript client demonstrates how annotations can be presented and edited, relative to zoomable images. This is an early example and the work is ongoing. A newer example, of annotation presentation can be seen here.
This example was set up to provide access to a number of images related to two National Gallery paintings by Rembrandt, NG221 and NG4930, for a Mellon funded Rembrandt Research Project.
This example demonstrates several instances of simple image merging, what do you get is you merge 50 random paintings.

Older National Gallery IIPImage Example Viewers

This example IIPImage javascript client demonstrates how images can be pulled from seperate servers and in this case countries, but still be displayed together in one page.
This example has been set up to provide examples of some of the web based image processing applications that are being investigated in the scientific department of the National Gallery, London.
This example IIPImage javascript client demonstrates how random details can be displayed from large sets of images. This can be done with a single client or in this case multiple clients. It should be noted setting this page up with 200+ clients uses a lot of bandwith.
This example IIPImage javascript client demonstrates how multiple IIPImage clients can be include in one page, without using frames.
