Hi, Alex Sevaliev from j2k-codec.com already wrote such a tool for us. It can be used in a fast mode when new GML boxes are written at the end of the JPEG2000 file and then it is super fast even with however big files. In a normal mode it is checking if there is a GML box already. If yes, then it is replecing it, if not, then it adds the boxes. Because of possible box replace the app always rewrites the whole JPEG2000 so it is slower. Then it is also placing the GML box before the image codestream because I thought that one JPEG2000 application I use was not able to read the boxes which were placed after the codestream. It is absolutely OK according to JPEG2000 standard and I now believe that there was something else wrong with my test and that application did not really had troubles with the boxes at the end of file. GML metadata standard allows to insert several GML boxes into JPEG2000 file inside upper level ASOC boxes. I told Alex not even to try to handle such complicated cases with the new tiny application. Alex may publish the tool as freeware in a future but it would be nice to have same kind of GDAL tool. Our need came from Inspire rules which will demand to include GML metadata if orthophotos are in JPEG2000 format. -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
