ABSTRACT:
In accordance with one or more aspects, multiple folders are generated each corresponding to one of multiple levels of an image pyramid, and each of the multiple levels including one or more tiles. In each of the multiple folders, one or more files are stored, each file including image data for a tile of the level corresponding to the folder. In accordance with other aspects, a first version of an image is generated, the first version of the image having a lower resolution than the image. The image is compressed using a first compression process, and the first version of the image is compressed using a second compression process, the second compression process being a higher quality process than the first compression process. Both the compressed image and the compressed first version of the image are stored as an image pyramid for the image.
