ABSTRACT

Use of collaborative tools is essential in health applications, especially pathology. This paper presents the results of a huge-size image data collaborative system based on SSVS©, suitable for telepathology work, which can be implemented in any system working with large images. Quality, image stitching performance in the JPEG200 wavelet domain and image viewing performance were analyzed.
