Large image viewer

This is web-based image viewer with a support of arbitrary large images. The image is first broke down into small patches at multiple scales. It allows to load image by parts, exactly as Google Maps loads only part of the map that you look at, at resolution you have.

Usage

Install python, flask and skimage.

Start viewer with

python viewer.py

Then open browser at http://localhost:5123/, select an image and wait until it is tiled.

Known issues
