Yes, the COG driver will clearly have overlap with rio-cogeo. I can imagine that there are use cases where having it available directly as a GDAL driver might be more convenient. > Why this is specific to JPEG compression, what about other compressed format > with internal mask ? There's nothing specific indeed. This is just the main use case where internal mask is really needed (other compression types can generally handle alpha as a 4th regular band), but yes we can generalize this optimization to any compression type. -- Spatialys - Geospatial professional services http://www.spatialys.com _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
