Tesselle image viewer
Ease viewing and sharing High Resolution images on the web
Tesselle is an open source image viewer allowing anyone to open, annotate and share big images on the web. It is part of the "Quinoa" project family, a suite of digital storytelling tools tailored for the FORCCAST teaching program and the scientific activities of Sciences Po's médialab. (list tools with links ?)
Tesselle is a tool for annotating and publishing large, very large, huge images!
To scale with High Res image, it embeds a tiling feature to seamlessly display and navigate them on the web.
It allows to comment on specific portions of photographs, maps or visualizations. It gives you the possibility to explore and analyse visual items in detail and precisely.
Furthermore, Tesselle allows to export your work as a simple folder to publish anywhere on the web.
Those features have been built to allow scholars to create stories be crafting annotations on cartographic map, artwork analysis, network vizualisations... Using image opens many usecases.
It is built using Typescript, React and Leaflet.
As a standalone serverless webapp, Tesselle has met some pitfalls:
- What is the fastest way to tile an image on the front-end?
- Are there enough tools in a browser or shall we bring WebAssembly in?
- How to handle memory management when dealing with hundreds of tiles?
- Can we beat a "native" image viewer?
- How should we handle sharing and embedding?
- Is IIIF an appropriate standard?
- What are our limitations?
Those are some of the questions we had / have to answer while building Tesselle.

JPEG 2000 was developed to replace the very successful JPEG standard, but it has instead remained a niche code. With recent updates to the standard speeding up decode by 10X, is world domination around the corner ? This talk will describe many of the sophisticated features that JPEG 2000 offers, and discuss why a 20 year old standard may be the codec of the future.

How QML, a language prominently used for designing UI, could be used to create title video clips containing text and/or images which can then be rendered and composited over videos in the video editing process. Kdenlive's Google Summer of Code 2019 project tried to achieve this and is still under active development.

The Animation industry has always been ruled by proprietary software, mainly from Autodesk, Adobe and The Foundry. But recently we noticed a rise of interest in software like Blender or Krita. Alongside them, initiatives like the Academy Software Foundation are popping. Last but not least, more and more studios publish the sources of their in-house software. During this conference, we'll explain how a typical production pipeline works. Then, we'll discuss how open source impacts animation ...
