Select Pair of Images to Flicker Compare from URLs

Flicker is a Java program for comparing two images. See the Flicker home page for more information on Flicker. You may Flicker Compare two images specified by typing in their URLs for image files located on any Web server. If your images are on your web server, you can specify their URL. Alternatively, if your computer has an FTP server, you can compare your own images by copying them to your Web or FTP server and just referencing them with a URL of the form http://internet-host/image-file or ftp://internet-host/image-file.

Self-publishing images: This means that users can self-publish their images on their own Web or FTP server. Web and FTP servers are either included or are easily installed on Microsoft Windows95, Windows-NT, Macintosh and UNIX systems which are connected to the Internet via TCP/IP.

Image formats: It handles GIF, TIFF, JPEG, XWD, PS, PS2 files - although GIF files are preferred since other formats are converted to GIF for use by Flicker. Images must be less than about 1.5 Mbytes or they will be rejected.

URLs allowed: Only http:// and ftp:// protocols are accepted. Note that image files specified by CGI-BIN locations may not currently work.

Image loading times: Note loading may take a while (could be on the order of minutes) since the Flicker server needs to read the gels from the Internet and then pass them back to Flicker running on your web browser.

Because of resource limitations, the Flicker Server is to be used only for scientific data.
