If you are using IIPImage on a public server, please get in touch, so that we can link to you!

IIPImage is a client / server system. The IIPImage server streams images to the client application, typically embedded within a web page. There are several clients to choose from in either Javascript (IIPMooViewer), Flash (IIPZoom) or Java (JIIPImage). Alternatively, images can be dynamically resized, cropped and exported.

IIPMooViewer

IIPMooViewer is a high performance Mootools based Ajax Javascript client. See the IIPMooViewer page for more details.

IIPZoom

IIPZoom is a flash client with smooth fast zooming and panning. See the IIPZoom page for more details.

JIIPImage Java Client

The client is written in Java and communicates directly with the server to request portions of the image at the desired resolution. It is able to efficiently cache image tiles and provies a very fast interface to the high resolution image.

Usage

The client can either be used as an applet embedded within a web page or as a standalone application. For applet use, the following parameters must be supplied:

<pre><object classid = "clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
codebase = "http://java.sun.com/update/1.5.0/jinstall-1_5-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,5,0,0"
width="600" height="400" >
<param name="type" value = "application/x-java-applet;version=1.5" />

<param name="code" value="iipimage.jiipimage.JIIPView" />
<param name="archive" value="jiip-view.jar" />
<param name="codebase" value="." />
<param name="serverName" value="http://<em>YOUR_SERVER_HERE/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi" />
</param><param name="imageName" value="<em>/YOUR/PATH/TO/IMAGES/image.tif" />

<param name="cache" value="1000" />
<comment>
<embed type = "application/x-java-applet;version=1.5" \
code = "iipimage.jiipimage.JIIPView" \
archive = "jiip-view.jar" \

codebase = "." \
width = 600 \
height = 400 \
pluginspage = "http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/index.html#download">
serverName = "http://<em>YOUR_SERVER_HERE</em>/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi" \

imageName = "<em>/YOUR/PATH/TO/IMAGES/image.tif</em>" \
cache = "1000" \
<noembed>
alt="Your browser understands the <applet> tag but isn't running the applet, for some reason."
Your browser is completely ignoring the </applet><applet> tag!

</applet></noembed>
</embed>
</comment>
</param></object>

Alternatively, the client can be used in standalone mode like this:

java JIIPView http://address/iipsrv.fcgi /path/image.tif

Dynamic Image Export

It is also possible to dynamically export resized or cropped versions of image by using parameters in your URL with the IIP protocol CVT=JPEG. JPEG images can be instantly generated for any region within the image at the requested size. The FIF=image command specifies the absolute path to the image on the server machine and WID=width or HEI=height specify the width or height respectively. In the following example, a JPEG image of 400 pixels in width is generated from a source TIFF image located at /tmp/test.tif on the IIP server machine:

<img src="/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?FIF=/tmp/test.tif&WID=400&CVT=jpeg" />

Alternatively, forms can be used to give the user some choice over the final image size and JPEG quality. In this case, simply create form inputs with the values for FIF, WID, QLT and CVT. For example:

<form action="/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi" method="post">
  <input type="hidden" name="FIF" value="/tmp/test.tif" />
  <input type="text" name="WID" />
  <input type="text" name="QLT" />
  <input type="hidden" name="CVT" value="JPEG" />
</form>

To specify a particular region, use the RGN=left,top,width,height command where the left,top,width and height are defined as floating point numbers between 0 and 1. So, if you want the image to be the middle 50% of the image, use:

<img src="/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?FIF=/tmp/test.tif&WID=400&RGN=0.25,0.25,0.5,0.5&CVT=jpeg"/>

3rd Party Viewers

The IIPImage server can also be used with a number of other 3rd party viewers. The server can be used with any viewer that supports either the Zoomify and DeepZoom protocols. For Zoomify-based clients, use an image path of the form:

/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?Zoomify=/your/image/path.tif

For DeepZoom, add a .dzi suffix to the path name:

/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?DeepZoom=/your/image/path.tif.dzi

Internet Imaging Protocol

The protocol for communication between the client and server is based on the Internet Imaging Protocol (though the latest version of the server also supports the Deepzoom and Zoomify protocols – see below for more details). This protocol was initially developed by the now defunct DIG (Digital Imaging Group) consortium to allow high resolution images to be easily streamed over the internet. The protocol is a simple request-reponse protocol allowing access to individual tiles, processed image views or image metadata and was designed around the tiled multi-resolution Flashpix format. Using this protocol allows the IIPImage server and clients to inter-operate with other IIP-based client-server systems. The IIPImage server supports the main subset of the full protocol (version 1.0.5) and, in addition, several extensions to handle complex image types such as 3D object sequences, multispectral images and surface elevations etc.

A typical request is of the form:

=> OBJ=IIP,1.0&FIF=/path/image.tif&JTL=1,0

where FIF is the path to the image on the server and JTL is the request for a single JPEG compressed tile, specifically tile 0 from resolution number 1.

To request an export in JPEG format at a particular width, use the CVT=jpeg command together with WID=width:

=> FIF=/path/image.tif&WID=400&CVT=jpeg

To request the export of a region at a particular size within an image, use the RGN=left,top,width,height command where the left,top,width and height are defined as floating point numbers between 0 and 1. So, if you want the image to be the middle 50% of the image, use:

=> FIF=/tmp/test.tif&WID=400&RGN=0.25,0.25,0.5,0.5&CVT=jpeg

Protocol Extensions

There are several extensions to the IIP protocol to allow tiles of different sizes to be used and to inform the client what vertical and horizontal sequences of an object exist.

• Tile-size: The horizontal and vertical size of the image tiles. eg. “64 64″. The IIP specification limits the tiles to 64×64 pixels. However, the IIPImage server and client are able to handle tiles of any size.
• Horizontal-views: A list of space-separated horizontal angles (degrees) available. eg. “0 90 180 270″. If there is only a single image, zero is returned.
• Vertical-views: A list of space-separated vertical angles (degrees) available. The angles are defined from the vertical plane, so a view from directly below the image is zero, directly facing the object is 90 and from directly overhead 180. eg. “0 90 180″. If there is only a single image, 90 is returned.
• SHD: (iipsrv version 0.9.7 and later) Simulated hill-shading for image normal data. The argument is the angle of incidence of the light source in the horizontal plane (from 12 o’clock) comma-separated with the vertical angle of incidence with 0 representing a horizontal direction and -1 vertically downwards.
• LYR: (iipsrv version 0.9.9 and later) The number of quality layers in an image to decode. This is for file types that can contain multiple quality layers, such as JPEG2000. For example, a request for LYR=3 will decode only the first 3 quality layers present in the image. The number of layers decoded will be limited to a maximum given by the MAX_LAYERS environment variable if this has been set in the server configuration. This can be useful to either limit the quality of the images users may see or to speed up decoding by only decoding the faster lower quality layers.
• GAM: (iipsrv version 1.0 and later) The gamma to apply to the image.

Deepzoom and Zoomify Protocols

As of version 0.9.8, the IIPImage server can now serve images using either the Deepzoom or Zoomify protocols, thereby allowing the use of these clients while maintaining the benefits of having a full imaging server with single TIFF or JPEG2000 files.

In order to use a Zoomify client with the iipsrv, use a path of the form:

/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?Zoomify=/your/image/path.tif

And for Deepzoom (you must add a .dzi suffix to the end of your TIFF or JPEG2000 file path – do not change the name of the TIFF file itself):

/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?DeepZoom=/your/image/path.tif.dzi

About

IIPImage is an advanced high-performance feature-rich image server system for web-based streamed viewing and zooming of ultra high-resolution images. It is designed to be fast and bandwidth-efficient with low processor and memory requirements. The system can comfortably handle gigapixel size images as well as advanced image features such as both 8 and 16 bit depths, CIELAB colorimetric images and scientific imagery such as multispectral images.

Streaming is tile-based, making it possible to view, navigate and zoom in real-time around 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.

Source images can be in either TIFF or JPEG2000 format. Whole images or regions within images can also be rapidly and dynamically resized and exported by the server from a single source image without the need to store multiple files in various sizes.

See demo page to see some more examples of use. IIPImage is used around the world by a wide variety of users including museums, scientific imaging, astronomy, medical imaging, geographical information systems and many many others. See also our links page for examples or read more about the history of IIPImage.
