Hi,

There are many threads which explain how to create an imagemosaic or pyramid, 
but not so many regarding the preparation of the raw data.

I have ~1300 orthophotos which have been bought for desktop use in ArcGIS. 

Resolution (X,Y) =  0,4m, 0,4m 
columngs/rows = 5003 x 5003
total Area = 2km x 2km (4km²)
Format = TIFF
Size = ~70mb


total size of region: 5000km²

I have been asked if I can serve these with geoserver. The alternative seems to 
be the purchase of ArcServer which is a cop-out in my view!

My first problem is the preparation.

1. Transform all photos into wgs84
2. Convert to geoTIFFs

and now i´m a bit lost! what are my choices to take this further? 
1. Do I have to convert 1300 photos using the gdal_retile and upload them into 
geoserver?
I can´t image having to upload 1300 pyramid stores into geoserver!

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Robert
