This programs converts a single image to tiles in multires format.
This work has been inspired by the Pannellum
(https://github.com/mpetroff/pannellum) and dzi (https://github.com/n-k/dzi)
projects.
It is usualy used to convert a cube face to tiles. In this case, the image is a
square but this tool is generalized so that it can work on rectangle shaped
images.
My workflow for generating a parorama is:
1- Stitch the images to produce an equirectangular image;
2- Convert the equirectangular image to 6 cube faces;
3- Do some changes on the down image to have a nadir without foreign objects,
artifactcs or hole;
4- Generate tiles from the cube faces. This is where this program operates;
5- Delete the original equirectangular image.
I made the choice of a tool that makes a unique operation. So it does not
operate on the 6 faces nor it does not generate a configuration file for any
panarama viewer. For these purposes, you can use a script of your own. As an
example, a shell script is provided in the scripts directory.
I didn't find any specification of the multires tile format. You can find the
Python script generate.py in test directory. It comes from the Pannellum
project. This a modified version of the original script: the convertion from
equirectangular to cube faces has been removed.
