This paper presents the results of a huge-size image data collaborative system based on SSVS©, suitable for telepathology work, which can be implemented in any system working with large images. Quality, image stitching performance in the JPEG200 wavelet domain and image viewing performance were analyzed.

Now, with digital images and the Internet, in the case of the Static Telepathology (ST), it is easy to share macroscopic and microscopic photographs. The progress of the technologies enabled a form of Dynamic Telepathology (DT) named "vi...
