We would like to explore ways to make the process of adding new and revised CDR images to Visuals Online more automated. Right now, Kevin Broun gets an email letting him know what new and revised images have been published. He has a script that picks up the metadata from the media docs, but then he has to manually resize each image to 4 different sizes, and manually fill out the forms for getting the images into VOL.

Can I stop by your office some time tomorrow to chat about our options? If you'd prefer to talk today, let me know and I'll give you a call.

I've implemented this on Franck (the test server) while we're testing. I'll move it to Bach (the production server) when we're satisfied that it does what we want. The syntax is:
http://host/cgi-bin/cdr/GetCdrImage.py?id=I&res=R[&quality=Q]
... where:
I is the CDR ID (can be 999999 or CDR0000999999 or CDR999999)
R is one of 300 | 150 | 75 | thumb
Q is optional integer for compression/quality balance, defaulting to
85
For example:
http://franck.nci.nih.gov/cgi-bin/cdr/GetCdrImage.py?id=415505&res=75&quality=95
Please give it try.

That's looking really good. Just a couple of things:
The resolution option "75" should be "72" instead - it looks like it's actually doing the correct 72 DPI scale of 24%, it's just named incorrectly.
Is it possible to have a "sharpen" option? This would be very helpful with the thumbnails in particular, which tend to be pretty blurry regardless of the quality parameter.
Thanks,
Kevin

Fixed.

Added. A value of 1 gives you the original image. Less than 1 blurs the image. Greater than 1 sharpens the image. A good value is probably around 2 for thumbnails, but you might want to experiment.

Just checking in to see what the status is for this task. Just want to make sure we're talking to the production CDR before you start pulling in the images to the live VOL database.

The script is now on Bach:
http://bach.nci.nih.gov/cgi-bin/cdr/GetCdrImage.py?id=415505&res=72&quality=95
(as an example invocation).
