Abstract
The present technique selectively handles image data, which is decomposed into a plurality of resolution levels. In one embodiment, an image resolution suitable for display in a desired viewport is selected via an iterative process including determining whether scaling of one of the different image resolutions of the plurality of different image resolutions by a predetermined scaling threshold would result in a scaled image resolution that is less than or equal to the resolution of the desired viewport. A portion of the plurality of data sets may be selectively requested for recomposition of the image at the image resolution. Additional systems, methods, and devices for handling image data are also disclosed.
