MEMORY OPTIMIZED CACHE GENERATION FOR IMAGE TILING IN GIS/CAD BROWSER APPLICATIONS

摘要

The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating tile sizes associated with an image presented by a web based image system. An optimal threshold memory size for tiles associated with the image is identified. The image is then divided into tiles of equal physical dimensions and placed into a set of subdivided tiles. The memory size of each tile within the set of subdivided tiles is compared to the threshold memory size. Tiles having a memory size less than or equal to the threshold memory size are deleted from the set of subdivided tiles and stored. Tiles having a memory size greater than the threshold memory size are subdivided into tiles of smaller physical dimensions. The smaller tiles are placed back in the set of subdivided tiles. The process repeats until no tiles exist within the set of subdivided tiles.
