Hi, For those interested, I've committed an experimental (*) read-only BPG (Better Portable Graphics) driver to read the new image format created by Fabrice Bellard based on HEVC : http://bellard.org/bpg/ For same quality as JPEG, images are typically twice smaller. Competitor of WebP as well, with apparently slightly better quality. Rather as dealing with standalone images, it could be interested as a codec in TIFF for example to benefit from tiling, overviews, etc. Or a GeoPackage tile format extension.
Even (*) No doc, no makefile support at all (libbpg itself is pretty raw). Look at frmts/bpg/bpgdataset.cpp to see how to build it as a plugin on Linux. -- Spatialys - Geospatial professional services http://www.spatialys.com _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
