Hi Simone,

I would like to pick up the topic again as I am working on the very same
issue at the moment.

As a reminder:
We have a bulk of aerial imagery with the requirement to access historical
data (i.e. updates are added to the index in regular intervals, but the
imagery from a certain point in time should still be accessible after having
applied an update). We are intending to serve this with a time-enabled image
mosaic, holding the index in a database table.

As you already mentioned the ImageMosaic only provides a reasonable
performance if you have no more than 50-60 tiles in a view at the same time.
Therefore I would create pyramids to achieve a similar performance on every
zoomlevel, which I achieve by downsampling the original tiles and mosaicing
them to new tiles on currently three levels (we cannot use gdal directly,
therefore I am doing this in FME).

I have a few open questions with regard to this:
- What is the recommended tile size in pixels to achieve a reasonable
balance between number of tiles and disk access?
- For integration into Geoserver I currently see the option to create an
image mosaic for each pyramid level, add scale dependent styles to each of
them and then add all of the layers to a layer group (original tile
imagemosaic and the three lower resolution overviews). Do you think this
would be a good approach?
- You're talking about creating a layer based on an ImagePyramid as well,
but I guess this would not read the time and add it to the index of the
underlying mosaics, will it?

Thank you very much in advance!
Cheers,
Max
