I'm usually not interested in reading the whole image into memory, but 
would like to successively scan through the image in portions. But even 
that used to crash with the HiRISE images using open source JP2000 drivers, 
maybe because they use an exceptional harsh compression algorithm.
Do I see it correctly, that the io.imread interface does not yet support 
partial reading of an image?
