FINAL PROJECT TOPIC:
Smart Interface for Large-Scale Image Server on the Web
PROBLEM:
We want to add various features to
the realtime large-scale image server
we have for the web.
Below, we assume the image are large maps,
but other kinds of images can be entertained.
ISSUES:
- PRELIMINARY STEP: rewrite the code
in an object oriented manner (it forces
you to understand the system).
- Acquire a VERY large scale image
(order of gigabytes) by scanning a map
and pasting them together.
- Provide a menu of various cities
on the map; when a city is selected,
you foveate on the chosen city. The
current default of displaying the highest
known resolution should be changed.
- Allow user to click on any two chosen cities,
and slider will appear.
The user can move along this
slider and the map will automatically
pan along the pre-computed route.
TOOLS, RESOURCES:
- Here is a
writeup of the current prototype.
- Here is the
source for the prototype.
- We are available for consultation as
you take apart the current system!
