Ciao Simone,

Thanks for your generous offer of guidance.  I will definitely have time to work on this in December.  Maybe  sooner.

Thanks!

Greg

Ciao Greg,
I have talked to daniele, and right now he is pretty much stuffed (as
I am :-) ), therefore the best option, if you have some hours to spend
on this now, if you could try to extend imageio-ext to support arcinfo
binary through gdal. Since gdal supports this format by default it
should be as easy as creating 2 or 3 classes for SPIs in imageioext as
well as in the geotools imageio-ext-gdal, and you should be able to
use arcinfo binary in geoserver 1.7 right away. Of course we can guide
you through the process.


Simone.

Hi Daniele,

Thanks for getting back to me.  I spoke with my boss, and it looks like I
can get some time to work on this in December.  It might make a nice
Christmas present :)  In the mean time, I'll take a look at ImageIO-Ext.

Cheers,

Greg

Hi Greg,
actually I'm busy with some deadlines of funded projects.
Anyway, to support Binary Arc/Info we need to define and implement a new
ImageIO plugin (via our ImageIO-Ext GDAL framework) as well as a new
Geotools plugin. After this we need to integrate them on Geoserver. This
would require some days of work.

Waiting for your opinions,
regards.

Daniele

Ciao Greg,
GeoTools and therefore GeoServer does not support this format as of now.
As you noticed, it is supported by GDAL, which means we can support it
inside geotools/geoserver quite easily through the imageio-ext [1]
project and its geotools/geoserver counterpart [2][3].
We have not added support for it so far becasue of lack of interest,
but it seems that things have changed :-).
I am ccing daniele so that he willprovide more details on this.

Simone.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for the response.  It looks like GDAL has some support for
reading these files.  Not sure about GeoTools.  I'll do some more
looking into this today.  In any case, a lot of work has been done on
reverse engineering the (proprietary) file spec, so a native Java
implementation might be possible.  I'd have to scope it out, and run it
by my boss.

It would be great to know whether anyone has tried to do this before.
If I'm heading for a giant brick wall, I might want to put on a helmet
;)

Cheers,

Greg

Hi Greg,

As far as i know (and please coverage folks correct me if i am wrong)
you are correct, only ascii grids are handled. I think it would be
great if you could contribute and help develop a format for binary
grids.

Simone and the coverage exprts should be able to better guide you on
how to proceed.

Hi,

We have a large amount of data in Arc/Info binary grid format.  I an
ESRI newbie.  But, I understand that there are two Arc/Info grid
formats: ASCII and binary.  It looks to me like GeoServer only serves
the ASCII format out of the box.  Is this correct?  If so, is there a
GeoServer plugin that enables serving of these binary grids?

If not, my employer might be willing to pay me to work on this.

Cheers,

Greg
