This is a IIIF community project to evaluate the new htj2k standard and its applicability to IIIF. We intend to test a number of different jp2 libraries and Pyramid tiffs to compare htj2k to this existing formats.
This repository will be a place to publish our data and scripts so others can scrutinise our results.
We have created various scripts in the convert directory to convert a source TIFF file to the various formats we are using for the testing. You can run each of the scripts to convert a single file or use the convert.sh command to convert a directory of images. See the convert readme
For our testing we have been using source tiff files from the Getty but the scripts should work with tiffs from other organisations.
You will need to install the following programs to generate some of the derivatives:
We have a docker setup to test OpenJpeg and Kakadu and details can be found in the image_server README.md.
We are using locust for our testing and you can find the testing scripts in the load_test directory.
The fromList locustfile will test a set of IIIF urls against lossy and lossless versions of jp2, htj2k and ptiff files. It can be run as follows:
cd load_test/fromlist
locust -u 1 --autostart --url-list ../../data/50_images/mirador_urls.txt --host http://0.0.0.0:8000
Note you must have the image server running on port 8000 as configured in the supplied Docker.
