Abstract

Techniques for digital image retrieval are described. In an embodiment a system stores a plurality of tiles for a plurality of versions of a particular image. Each respective image of the plurality of versions has a different resolution. Each respective tile of the plurality of tiles comprises a bounded region of the respective version of the particular image. Based on a display resolution where a portion of the particular image will be visible, the system determines a final image resolution for the particular image. The system fetches one or more tiles of the respective version of the particular image that has the final resolution. The one or more tiles include the portion of the particular image that will be displayed. The system applies the one or more tiles to a model and renders the model.
