Hi, I had another look at the GAPS_2017-02-23.tif file and I would recommend that do not waste your time for improving it as one image. It is a 3-band image of sixe 128478 by 133220 pixels and thus as uncompressed it would make about 50 gigabytes. The current file size 450 GB is not bad especially because the image includes a good set of overviews. Image also opens and works fine with QGIS. I have no ready made recipe for automatic selection and extracting of areas which contain data. I guess that I would have a try by vectorizing the raster files with http://www.gdal.org/gdal_polygonize.html first and build windows for gdal_translate and -projwin based on the vector data. It could be interesting as an exercise but probably there should be hundreds of images before it really saves enough resources for being a good investment. -Jukka Rahkonen- -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/GDAL-Dev-f3742093.html _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
