The Large Image Solution Pack adds the ability to create Large Image collections, which are capable of displaying high resolution TIFFs and JPEG 2000s (JP2). This module also creates derivatives and supports the installation of image viewers.
This module requires the following modules/libraries:
This module requires one of the following to create JP2 derivatives from TIFFs, or to create derivatives of JP2s:
To create image derivatives, configure the image processing toolkit to use ImageMagick rather than the GD2 image manipulation toolkit in Administration > Configuration > Media > Image Toolkit (admin/config/media/image-toolkit). If GD2 is selected, TN and JPG datastreams will not be generated.
Configure derivative options in Administration > Islandora > Solution Pack configuration > Large Images (admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/large_image).
kdu_compress
is available to the Apache user. Often users will create symbolic links from /usr/local/bin/kdu_compress
to their installation of Kakadu that comes bundled with Adore-Djatoka. If the executable resides elsewhere on the server and no soft link has been created, be sure to provide the full path to the executable on the configuration page. Make sure that the required dynamic libraries that come with Kakadu are accessible to kdu_compress
and kdu_expand
. If they are not present, attempting to run either command from the terminal will inform you that the libraries are missing. You can also use a symbolic link from /usr/local/lib
to include these libraries. Remember to restart the terminal so your changes take effect. Also, make sure the php settings allow for enough memory and upload size: upload_max_filesize
, post_max_size
and memory_limit
.Configure viewer options in Administration > Islandora > Solution Pack configuration > Large Images (admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/large_image).
The Large Image Solution Pack comes with the following objects in http://path.to.your.site/admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/solution_packs:
An image ingested using the Large Image Solution Pack's content model using ImageMagick will have the following datastreams:
RELS-EXT | Default Fedora relationship metadata |
MODS | MODS record filled out during ingest |
DC | Dublin Core record |
OBJ | Original TIFF or JP2 file uploaded |
JP2 | JPEG 2000 derivative created by ImageMagick or Kakadu |
JPG | Medium-sized JPEG created by ImageMagick and used in the standard image viewer |
TN | Thumbnail icon created from the image during the ingest process |
The Large Image Solution Pack comes with the Large image MODS form.
To successfully create derivative datastreams (TN & JPG), ImageMagick needs to be installed on the server. To create JP2 datastreams, Kakadu is the preferred solution, but ImageMagick can be used if it has been built with JPEG2000 support. |
