Abstract

Image display time is defined as the time taken to load, decode, and render images on a screen. When users attempt to open images stored on a mobile phone, they can sometimes feel that it takes a lot of time to display the images. This paper analyzes the various causes of the delay and presents ideas to reduce the time and improve the customer’s experience. To evaluate these ideas, an enhanced image viewer application was implemented and evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively by comparing it to the existing viewer. Experimental results show that the proposed solutions can reduce image display time by more than 10 % for high-pixel images. In addition, it can reduce thumbnail construction times effectively.
