Hello,
In the past I prepared my air photos for MapServer by converting them into
GeoTiff and creating compressed jpeg overviews. I would like to double check
if this is still a recommended method to prepare air photos that are fast, have
a decent amount of quality, and are not terribly large. If anyone has any
comments on how I should prepare air photos for MapServer and possibly ArcGIS
or QGIS let me know.
Here is what I used in the past, which seems to work good:
gdal_translate -CO TILED=YES -CO PHOTOMETRIC=YCBCR -CO TFW=YES -CO
COMPRESS=JPEG -CO BIGTIFF=YES MNPIPE13-SID-9INCH.sid Pipe13.tif
gdaladdo -r cubic --config compress_overview JPEG --config photometric_overview
YCBCR Pipe2013.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024
I will be provided an ECW file, Mr Sid file, and I will be given the choice of
getting either 775 individual jpg or tiff tiles.
Thanks for any advice.

Its what I'm using, but I'm setting jpeg_quality much lower than the default.
I ran several at different qualities and found next to no difference when
zoomed all the way in. For the gdaladdo I reduce the quality even more,
because when your zoomed out, who cares if you can't make out an individual
car. I'm using:
gdal_translate -of GTiff \
-co compress=jpeg \
-co JPEG_QUALITY=60 \
-co PHOTOMETRIC=YCBCR \
-co tiled=yes \
-co bigtiff=yes \
--config GDAL_CACHEMAX 500 \
src dest
gdaladdo -ro -r average \
--config COMPRESS_OVERVIEW JPEG \
--config JPEG_QUALITY_OVERVIEW 40 \
--config PHOTOMETRIC_OVERVIEW YCBCR \
--config INTERLEAVE_OVERVIEW PIXEL \
--config GDAL_CACHEMAX 500 \
dest \
2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096
I think (but no real measure) that too many small files or very few big files
are slower than 12'ish files. But that's just a gut feeling.
My Tama Iowa imagery is 30 gig, in 12 .tif files:
http://maps.camavision.com/map/tamaia?pin=14.27.203.003
The EWC version is 22 gig. performance wise, when zoomed in as close as
possible (car level), the ecw and tiff perform about the same. When zoomed all
the way out (entire county), once I added 2048 and 4096 to my gdaladdo, the
tiff was almost a second faster than ecw.
If there are newer/better methods I'd be interested in them too.
