I did something similar once for a mining technique called “core logging”. It’s a single photo about 1000 pixels wide and several million “deep”: what the earth looks like for a few km down.
Existing solutions are all complicated and clunky, I put something together with S3 and bastardised CoGeoTIFF, instant view of any part of the image.
Wish I knew how to commercialise it…
I'm curious about the "core logging" photo. Where can I find one? Do you have an implementation of your solution? I would be curious to have a look at it.
@carderne I think el_pa_b has an idea on how to commercialize it.
In all seriousness, how is it not useful for gold mining or phracking?
