[fitsbits] Cutouts from compressed image binary tables {External}

[Dustin Jenkins]

I’m using the nom-tam-fits Java library to extract a sub image from a compressed image binary table.  Typically, the compressed image is decompressed and one can perform a normal extraction, but my service exists on the Cloud and needs to be able to cutout in a streaming manner.  Is there a way to look at the Header and know what row in the table (or which tile) that overlaps some range of pixels?  Alternatively, would I need to iterate the tiles to see if any of them overlap?

Many thanks,
Dustin
