IIPImage Development

• Mailing lists and forums etc are hosted at our Sourceforge project page.

IIPImage Users

• Some great examples showing how the IIPMooViewer client can be adapted for advanced uses are available on this demo page of the scientific department of the National Gallery in London. Demos include image blending, image comparison, slide shows and an image gallery application. High resolution images of the entire National Gallery collection are also available via a collection viewer.
• The Old Maps Online project have used the IIPImage server to serve their historical maps and have supported the integration of Zoomify protocol support in the IIPImage server.
• ArtsConnectEd, a joint project of the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Walker Art Center use IIPImage for their online art and education resource.
• The Welcome Trust’s Sanger Institute’s Gene Express site uses the IIPImage server as the back-end to their own Ajax client.
• The Los Alamos National Laboratory Research Library uses a modified IIPMooViewer for its djatoka image server. A demo is available featuring high resolution scans of the Magna Carta.
• The Biodiversity Heritage Library, which includes institutions such as the Royal Botanical Gardens and the Smithsonian Institution, use IIPMooViewer with the afore-mentioned djatoka image server.
• The State Archives of the City of Venice use IIPImage and the IIPMooViewer for their online Devenire image repository.
• IIPImage is used for a new digital 648 MegaPixel panorama of the night sky. The image was put together by Axel Mellinger using more than 3000 individual CCD frames giving a final resolution of 36 arcsec/pixel. More details are in the journal press release.
• The National Restoration and Research Centre (the C2RMF) at the Louvre Museum uses IIPImage internally to handle its collection of 200,000 digital images.
• The Institute of Photogammetry at the University of Lausanne uses IIPImage for their high resolution satellite images.

Resources

• The VIPS image processing system can generate the Tiled Pyramidal TIFF images required for IIPImage and is designed to efficiently process the kinds of extremely large images we can handle.
• The incredible Next Generation Blue Marble gigapixel image used for our demo is taken from the NASA Earth Observatory Team.
