Image Browser for a very large collection of images

1. Project Overview

The purpose of the project is to utilize the video hardware to help users effectively browse and manage a very large collection of images.

2. Techniques Details

- Use CxImage to handle images of various formats; (CxImage is a nice image library, which is totally free opensource!)

- Use Opengl to draw images as a texture; (I learned how to integrate Opengl with a MFC MDI program at Codeproject);
