Can you be a bit more specific ? I do a bunch of stuff with things
like map tiles, etc. Brian Shaler did some interesting stuff for
Recast - automatically realigning mass batches of badly scanned
images...

Hi Mark,

I was just wondering, in general, what people might be doing that involves managing or manipulating photographic images.  Your answer was insightful in that respect.  In general data can be numbers about things ... sometimes those numbers are stored in arrays and represent brightness in a scene.  I was just wondering what PHXdata people are involved with photos/images rather than strictly numbers.

I have recently become concerned with this sort of data and have lots to learn.

It was not intended as a specific question.  But this is, Mark, do you use a mapserver to deliver your tiled images?  If so, which one and how has it worked for you?

Of sorts, yes. Nearly all of the mapping I've been doing recently has
involved Mapbox's tilemill. Tilemill can export to a format called
mbtiles, which is essentially an sqlite file with the tiles and some
metadata in it. Tilestream is a node.js server which serves mbtiles
files. I've given a talk on tilemill in the past for PHXdata - it's a
great piece of software (and has become significantly less alpha than
when I gave a talk about it before.)

Are you coming to WhereCampPHX and/or hackthemap, I can show you ?

Mark

Despite time running out, I am still unsure.
