GAIA Image Transcoder (GIT) is a library that
operates image transcoding, with a special focus
on mobile applications. It comes in two parts: a
transformation and transcoding library that
performs image adaptation to mobile device using
information retrieved from WURFL files, and a very
simple JSP tag library that enables library
utilization in a J2EE environment. The transcoding
library works as a transformation pipeline. The
pipeline is composed of a set of filters. A filter
can operate directly on the image body, or
indirectly on the associated meta-information. The
GIT architecture supports the management cycle of
such pipes, while GIT tag libraries simplifies
their definition.
