I've made this offer before, but here it is again: my company can host on " libtiff.info", with DNS already in place and fronted through Cloudflare, with TLS. Depending on what's needed on the server, could be running in the next couple of hours, possibly Anycast to 30 servers globally for speed

LibTIFF’s naming is confusing - there really isno such thing as a “directory “. There are IFDs, and there are SubIFDs. And they are completely different from each other. W. Kemp Watson Objective Pathology Services Toronto, Canada http://www.objectivepathology.com k...@objectivepathology.com

Re: [Tiff] Current LibTIFF version ~ 4.4.0 or 4.5.0 ?

I just found this also... downloaded 4.4.0, and got this oddness: -- Building tiff version 4.5.0 -- libtiff library version 6.0.0 Should this not be more like: Building TIFF version 6.0 libtiff library version 4.4.0 It's pretty much exactly backwards! Also, building on Windows with VS 2022,

Re: [Tiff] best tiff tag names for start and end datetimes?

2022-05-12 Thread Kemp Watson via Tiff
This is a bit of an offhand comment without much thought, but perhaps TIFF group should focus only on describing the physical manifestation of the pixels, and the more "usage" oriented metadata is best left to other entities? That's a pretty rough comment, and I know there's a fair bit of history

So, you can certainly find a place to plug your data. Maybe a question is “just how standard is standard”? Is this just for Google use, or applicable to GDAL or GeoTIFF or other environments too? W. Kemp Watson Objective Pathology Services Toronto, Canada http://www.objectivepathology.com

Re: [Tiff] best tiff tag names for start and end datetimes?

2022-05-12 Thread Kemp Watson via Tiff
Again, no deep knowledge: Do you mean not the start/end of an image export, but of an image acquisition over time, like a satellite traversal creating a stitched image from individual fields acquired over minutes or maybe hours? I would have assumed GeoTIFF would have already considered this;

Re: [Tiff] best tiff tag names for start and end datetimes?

2022-05-12 Thread Kemp Watson via Tiff
Hi Simon: Speaking from close to no knowledge here... Is it that critical to know both start and end times of an export? Can you perhaps average them to one value? Can you assume DateTime is UTC with your particular files and use cases? Not sure if this is helpful, just posing a simple

It's indeed used in slide imaging fairly commonly, but with "non-conforming" TIFFtags (33003 and 33005 instead of 34712), and essentially to Leonard's point... why? It's a historical artifact from 20-year-old CPUs: the tradeoff here is essentially a Gaussian pyramid for speed vs a Laplacian

Re: [Tiff] Ensuring buffer alignment when creating tiff files

2021-12-16 Thread Kemp Watson via Tiff
Milian, are these images for geomapping or digital pathology? I am guessing so since you mentioned mipmap subIFDs. If so, there is a good 20-25 years of experience in how to efficiently write and read these large files, and the solution has inevitably come down to tiling the data, and absolutely
