Abstract
A digital image is stored on a server. One or more areas of interest are determined within the digital image. One or more sets of features for each of the one or more areas of interest within the digital image are extracted. The digital image is parsed into a set of image layers, wherein a subset of image layers is associated with a first set of features of the one or more sets of features. A request to download the image from the server is received from a client. The subset of image layers is sent to the client. In response to sending the subset, the remainder of the set of images is sent.
Claims20
A method for loading a digital image, the method comprising:
- storing, on a server, the digital image;
- determining one or more areas of interest within the digital image;
- extracting one or more sets of features for each of the one or more areas of interest within the digital image;
- parsing the digital image into a set of image layers, wherein a subset of image layers is associated with a first set of features of the one or more sets of features;
- receiving, from a client, a request to download the image from the server;
- sending, to the client, the subset of image layers;
- and
- after sending the subset of image layers, send the remainder of the set of image layers.
A computer program product for loading a digital image, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a device to cause the device to:
- store, on a server, the digital image;
- determine one or more areas of interest within the digital image;
- extract one or more sets of features for each of the one or more areas of interest within the digital image;
- parse the digital image into a set of image layers, wherein a subset of image layers is associated with a first set of features of the one or more sets of features;
- receive, from a client, a request to download the image from the server;
- send, to the client, the subset of image layers;
- and
- after sending the subset of image layers, send the remainder of the set of image layers.
A system for loading a digital image, the system comprising:
- a memory subsystem, with program instructions included thereon;
- and
- a processor in communication with the memory subsystem, wherein the program instructions cause the processor to:
- store, on a server, the digital image;
- determine one or more areas of interest within the digital image;
- extract one or more sets of features for each of the one or more areas of interest within the digital image;
- parse the digital image into a set of image layers, wherein a subset of image layers is associated with a first set of features of the one or more sets of features;
- receive, from a client, a request to download the image from the server;
- send, to the client, the subset of image layers;
- and
- after sending the subset of image layers, send the remainder of the set of image layers.
