The WebRTIViewer is a HTML5-WebGL viewer for high resolution RTI images (PTM and HSH) and standard images (JPEG, PNG and TIF). It allows the visualization of your image in a standard web page without the installation of any plugin using a recent web-browser (Google Chrome from the version 9.0, Mozilla Firefox from the version 4.0, Internet Explorer from the version 11.0 and Safari from the version 6.0). The download link contains all the necessary tools for the preprocessing of the image to create a multi-resolution streamable format (the webGLRTIMaker tool) and for the visualization of the image in your HTML page (WebRTIViewer). All the information about the tools are contained in the readme file.
The WebRTIViewer and the webGLRtiMaker are available under the GNU General Public Licence version 3. If you use the viewer in your site please send me an email.

$ webGLRTIMaker.exe pathtothefile -q 90with the filepath of the image and a quality value (in example 90). The quality can accept value in the range 0-100 (100 = maximum quality). The tool creates a new folder (with the same name of the image) with all the data to store in the web server. You can copy the new folder in your web server.
