Free acronis true image server 8.0 software for windows

The system is fast because the client only needs to download the portion of the whole image that is visible on the screen of the user at their current viewing resolution.

The client requests a view of an image and the server only needs to send back the image tiles necessary for that particular view. This makes it possible to view, navigate and zoom around very large images that would be impossible to download and manipulate on the local machine.

It also makes the system very scalable as the image tile downloads will take the same regardless of the size of the source image.

In addition, to reduce the bandwidth necessary even further, the tiles sent back are dynamically JPEG compressed with a level of compression that can be optimized for the available bandwidth by the client. In this way it is possible to view extremely large gigapixel images in real-time over the internet.

In order for the system to be as efficient as possible, the images are stored in the multi-resolution TIFF tiled pyramidal format. This allows the server to extract regions of the full image at different resolutions very quickly with little processing overhead. Image of several gigapixels in size can be stored on a central server and viewed by many different users without the need to download large amounts of data.

The system was originally devised by the National Gallery in London and the University of Southampton for the Viseum (1996) and Acohir (1999) EU projects.

The aim of these projects was to create a system for viewing very high resolution colorimetric museum images over the internet. In the case of Acohir, to extend the system to handle 3D object sequences. A published paper describing this work is available online.

The current versions of the software, though, have been completely rewritten since then. This kind of system, though, is also applicable to other areas such as geographical informations systems or medical imaging.

Major Features:

1. Fast lightweight Fast CGI server module that can be embedded in most web servers (Apache, Lighttpd, MyServer etc)
2. Several clients available java applet, javascript etc
3. Instant dynamic generation of JPEG overviews or details at any resolution
4. Allows easy viewing of extremely large images (gigapixel size) with no significant memory requirements
5. Standard TIFF-based image format that can be read by many image processing tools (Photoshop, GIMP, VIPS etc)
6. 16 bits per channel image handling
7. Greyscale, sRGB and CIE L*a*b* color spaces
8. Panoramic 3D object image sequences
9. Secure image distribution: only JPEG-compressed views of the image are sent to the client. The full-resolution image does not need to be accessible
10. Example uses: high resolution museum images, geographical information systems, medical imaging etc.
    

Enhancements:

• Standalone start-up support via spawn-fcgi
• GCC 4.x compatibility
• Various bug fixes

Video Cam Server (VCS) is a server for publishing the image taken from a Video Camera (especially Web Cam) connected to it. It will be very useful for remote monitoring your home, office or other environment.
VCS uses HTTP to publish your image on the internet, therefore, you are able to access the image using a Web Browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape or etc.). It runs on Windows platform, including Windows 2000, Windows XP.
One of the main reasons you should choose Video Cam Server is that we allow you to publish your camera to your own web server or our Embedded Web Server come together with VCS (also running on your computer), instead of putting the captured result to the Providers sites.
If you do not want to host a web server on your personal computer, we provide an alternative to upload captured image to your web hostings ftp server.
Since VCS is in Beta Version now, please send your valuable comments, feedback and bug reports to me via our forum at http://forum.raybase.com or drop a mail to raymond@raybase.com. Thanks very much for beta test VCS.
