Description

This is a followup to https://forum.mapillary.com/t/useless-and-confusing-zoom/7670/5

In short, the current zoom implementation has no controls to zoom‑in to 100%, that is to reach pixel parity between image and display device pixels, where each image pixel matches a display pixel.

There are three natural options to solve this issue:

  • Make zoom level 1 zoom‑in to 100%
  • Make zoom level 3 zoom‑in to 100%
  • Add a 100% zoom‑in button

Mind different projections! However, supporting the linear projection only while not limiting this functionality to linear projection images only should be good enough for now.

Research direction

Start by locating the current zoom implementation and the projection handling in the viewer. Compare the existing zoom levels with display and image pixels for the linear projection, then evaluate the three proposed control options. Done means users can reach 100% pixel parity without breaking the supported projection behavior.
