@RembrandtsRoom Thanks for the shout-out! Here's a live link (2013-ish) for those who want to play with it boschproject.org/Morelli/Hand.h… - Click a hand to re-sort. - Shift+click to select. - Type 1-9 to determine viewer column count then right-click to launch a synced viewer with the selection.

@CryptoBrawnz It's scientific documentation, so no AI scaling. Just very very close photos with robot and a Hasselblad H6D 400 MS. Here's a link to the PyCon 2020 keynote I gave about it: youtube.com/watch?v=z_hm5o…

@gregeganSF Ah. I guess it's just an illusion that the lines seem to become increasingly parallel to the parallels even below the equator.

@gregeganSF Cool! These curves have decreasing angles with respect to lines of constant latitude. What does it look like at the south pole?

@openseadragon Thanks for the mention! I forked OpenSeadragon back in 2012 to enable the things I needed for image comparisons for my boschproject.org website (boschproject.org/view.html?mode…, e.g.), and the fork and OSD have diverged considerably since.

@HxxxKxxx @V_and_A @openseadragon @iiif_io Thanks! To be clear, there is only one "Curtain Viewer", not a family tree. These efforts by others to gain reputation/business by copying without credit are academically dishonest and, in the eyes of the Dutch legal system, unlawful. The Curtain Viewer isn't open source yet.

@HxxxKxxx @V_and_A @openseadragon @iiif_io When the Curtain Viewer was copied (with no credit!), a Dutch court ruled that the way of showing images (the "interface") was so innovative that it was also my copyright (source code too). See web.archive.org/web/2019113007…

@HxxxKxxx @V_and_A @openseadragon @iiif_io The Cuberis and vanda links you shared have nothing to do with my Curtain Viewer.

@kirkmart @rijksmuseum Indeed, when I'm not directly using memmaps in numpy, #pyvips is a big help. @jcupitt65 is very responsive fixing bugs and answering questions too, so it's a delight to be a user. #libvips can process huge images that no other image-processing engine can, and it's really fast.

Note that this new image is 16 times bigger than the 20 µm resolution image we released in May 2020.

@HxxxKxxx @HiroxEurope Thanks! It's not done with a Hirox, though. It's a Hasselblad H6D 400c MS camera on a 5-axis robot, with a lot of machine learning behind it to ensure sharp color-accurate photos every time.
