Abstract
Various embodiments provide techniques for partitioning high resolution images into sub-images for display. In at least some embodiments, the techniques can enable a device to display an image in its native resolution (e.g., the image capture resolution) even when the image exceeds a threshold image size for the device. In example implementations, techniques determine that a size of an image exceeds a threshold image size for a system. Further to some embodiments, the techniques can determine that the image is to be partitioned into multiple sub-images that can each be processed and reassembled to display the image. The sub-images can each be rendered by a graphics processing functionality (e.g., a graphics processing unit) and displayed on a display device to present a version of the image in its native resolution.
