Cases Where ImageMagick May Not Work Properly for Creating Pyramidal TIFFs?

Overview I investigated cases where ImageMagick does not work properly when creating pyramidal TIFFs for IIIF image delivery.

Experiments on Image Sizes Supported by serverless-iiif

Overview In the following article, I explained how to build an IIIF Image Server using an AWS serverless application. This time, I register a relatively large image and verify whether tile image delivery is possible. Target This time, the target is “Mining Claim Maps” (held by the University of Tokyo Komaba Library). https://iiif.dl.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/repo/s/ichiko/document/4120a330-2f1c-4e2c-5d48-21aed4d42704 The original image is a TIF file of nearly 300 MB. Creating Pyramidal Tiled TIFF Referencing the following site, I tried both VIPS and ImageMagick. ...
