Re: [MAPSERVER-USERS] Serving jpeg tiles - is there a howto?

2008-12-14 Thread thomas bonfort
hi,
the "easiest" way imho would be to create a custom batch script that
creates wld georeferencing files for each of your jpegs:

- use grep on the file name to extract the upper left coordinate (minx, maxy)
- calculate the size of a single pixel (either from the image size and
extent, or hardcoded if all your images have the same pixel size)
- write the georeferencing matrix to disk (check
http://duff.ess.washington.edu/data/raster/drg/tfw.html)
- check with gdalinfo that your georeferencing is taken into account

cheers,
thomas

[MAPSERVER-USERS] Serving jpeg tiles - is there a howto?

2008-12-14 Thread bibbob

Hello,

Sorry if this question is a bit newbie-ish, but I've searched quite a bit
for a guide on how to do this and haven't come up with anything yet.

I have a pile of JPEG images which are tiles of a map.  I'd like to serve
them as a layer in MapServer (to use them within OpenLayers, but that's
another story).  Each image has its co-ordinates built into the filename,
like so:

~/tiles $ ls
tile-25-253000-34-343000.jpg  tile-256000-259000-34-343000.jpg 
tile-262000-265000-34-343000.jpg  tile-268000-271000-34-343000.jpg
tile-25-253000-343000-346000.jpg  tile-256000-259000-343000-346000.jpg  

The list is truncated - the format is tile-minX-maxX-minY-maxY.jpg where the
origin is in the bottom-left of the map.

I've read that I can use gdaltindex to create the shapefile to index these
tiles, but when I try it, it complains that they aren't georeferenced:
"It appears no georeferencing is available for
`tile-271000-274000-358000-361000.jpg', skipping."

...which is understandable, as they're just JPEGs.  Any idea how I tell it
where each tile is?  How do I put this into Mapserver?  If there's a HOWTO
or similar out there that I've missed, could someone please let me know
where it is?

Thank you.

PS. Sorry about the newbieness - there's just so much to learn about mapping
software and I'm a bit lost.

Note that with something like this, you don't need MapServer at all:
with a little bit of legwork, you can load these into OpenLayers
directly, following the instructions in something like:
http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/UsingCustomTiles .

For more help on that, feel free to stop by the OpenLayers mailing list.

Brilliant! Thanks for that, it's just what I wanted and I don't have to
learn the complexities of Mapserver and shapefiles.  Many thanks, that works
beautifully!
