Museum Infomatics Project

Project Representative(s): Thomas Duncan, University of California, Berkeley, USA
This project is concerned with the resolution of the technical problems related to the presentation of images on the web. Quite often high-resolution images can range from 20 MB up to as much as 150 MB, and therefore there are cases when these need to be compressed for actual presentation. One of the prominent new strategies for dealing with image compression is termed "pyramiding and tiling," generally done in five stages.
