Hi,

I made a trial with the biggest image I had on my computer and it was of size 
288000 by 480000 pixels. Running gdaladdo as
gdaladdo -r average -ro  --config COMPRESS_OVERVIEW JPEG --config 
PHOTOMETRIC_OVERVIEW YCBCR
--config BIGTIFF_OVERVIEW YES test.jp2 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256

It took 22 hours to create the overviews. After 9 hours the progress bar showed 
75% so process was slowing down till the end.
It is a long time but it could be tolerated.
Ammar has a four times bigger image but zero progress after four days means 
that it just does not work. I wonder if the original bigtiff is without tiles 
and gdaladdo has to read 700000 pixel wide rows.  Anyway, perhaps that image 
begins to be unreasonably big.

Alternatives to gdaladdo is to create a layer group for Geoserver and try is 
downsampling the image with gdal_translate is successful. Use -outsize 50% 50% 
for doubling the pixel size. If nearest neighbour resampling is not good you 
may have a try with gdalwarp which gives more alternatives: near, bilinear, 
cubic, cubicspline, lanczos, average, and mode.
Also, once you have now a bigtiff without stripes and you do not want to do 
more experiments, you can split it back to smaller pieces which are easier to 
handle with gdal_translate by using -srcwin xoff yoff xsize ysize.

ImageMosaicing

Hi Ammar,
The problem with this approach is that I tried to create overviews for the 
image and it took 4 continuous days of gdaladdo running without any progress 
until I had to cancel the gdaladdo operation.
That's a known "limitation" of Gdal. It can't handle large files well when 
pyramiding/overviewing.

I'm afraid I'm not sure what the issue with the white lines is though. Maybe 
someone else does?
