PyramidIO: image pyramid reader/writer tool

CLI usage

The CLI allows to build a DZI pyramid from an image. To start the CLI, one should use pyramidio-cli-[version].jar like this:

java -jar pyramidio-cli-[version].jar -i my-image.jpg -o (my-output-folder || scheme:///path/file[.tar, .seq])

Examples:

java -jar pyramidio-cli-[version].jar -i my-image.jpg -o outputfolder
java -jar pyramidio-cli-[version].jar -i my-image.jpg -o file:///tmp/outputfolder.tar
java -jar pyramidio-cli-[version].jar -i my-image.jpg -o s3://my-image-bucket/outputfolder
java -jar pyramidio-cli-[version].jar -i my-image.jpg -o hdfs://localhost:9000/outputfolder
java -jar pyramidio-cli-[version].jar -i my-image.jpg -o hdfs://localhost:9000/outputfolder.tar
java -jar pyramidio-cli-[version].jar -i my-image.jpg -o hdfs://localhost:9000/outputfolder.seq

To get the list of all the options, one can type:

java -jar pyramidio-cli-[version].jar -h

Library usage

Maven dependency

To use PyramidIO as a library, one should setup the maven dependencies like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>gov.nist.isg</groupId>
    <artifactId>pyramidio</artifactId>
    <version>...</version>
</dependency>

Add the tar-archiver artifact for tar support and hdfs-archiver for HDFS support.

Write a DZI pyramid

To write a DZI pyramid, one should use the gov.nist.isg.pyramidio.ScalablePyramidBuilder class:

ScalablePyramidBuilder spb = new ScalablePyramidBuilder(tileSize, tileOverlap, tileFormat, "dzi");
FilesArchiver archiver = new DirectoryArchiver(outputFolder);
PartialImageReader pir = new BufferedImageReader(imageFile);
spb.buildPyramid(pir, "pyramidName", archiver, parallelism);

Currently the available FilesArchivers are:

• DirectoryArchiver: save files in a directory on the filesystem.
• TarArchiver: save files in a tar file on the filesystem.
• SequenceFileArchiver: save files in a Hadoop sequence file.
• HdfsArchiver: save files on a HDFS filesystem.
• TarOnHdfsArchiver: save files in a tar file created on a HDFS filesystem.
• S3Archiver: save files to a folder on a S3 bucket.

As for the PartialImageReaders:

• BufferedImageReader: read an image from the disk and store it in RAM.
• DeepZoomImageReader: read a DZI pyramid.
• MistStitchedImageReader: read a MIST translation vector.

Read a DZI pyramid

To read a DZI pyramid, one should use the DeepZoomImageReader class:

File dziFile = new File("my-image.dzi");
DeepZoomImageReader reader = new DeepZoomImageReader(dziFile);
BufferedImage wholeImageZoom0_01 = reader.getWholeImage(0.01);
BufferedImage regionAtZoom0_1 = reader.getSubImage(
    new Rectangle(x, y, width, height), 0.1);
