Diva.js in the Context of Pixel.js

Pixel.js vs Diva.js

Pixel.js is a Diva.js plugin. Diva acts as the rendering system for Pixel, allowing users to smoothly view large images. Layers are then created above Diva's viewport and allow for pixel classification by colour/layer in order to ultimately produce ground-truth data. The plugin, Pixel.js, provides the tools needed to accomplish the aforementioned classification.

Why Diva.js?

Diva's algorithm allows for a comfortable viewing experience without losing image quality. With Diva's rendering power, users can be sure to be as precise as possible when using Pixel.js to classify pixels.
