Hi
I have hundreds, probably thousands, of orthophotos which I would like
to access as easy as possible. They are in MrSid format, but I will
convert them to geotiff.
My problem is that it is sometimes quite difficult to find the one
covering the region I am working in and it involves quite some trial and
error to get the right one (which is time intensive and annoying...).
I thought about setting up mapserver as a WMS server, but I didn't
manage (might have to spend some m ore time on that). What I would like
to know:
1) Is mapserver as WMS server the best solution or is there a more
effective one?
IMHO yes - but I would advice WCS to you. WMS does render "map", where
WCS returns raw data (coverage) to you.
thanks for pointing that out - I will consider it. But can I access the
WCS server from GRASS and QGIS as well?
2) If mapserver (WMS server) is the way to go - can somebody give me an
example .map file which is achieving that?
Some example attached - but please, take it as skeleton. I do not
expect, single line would stay untouched after you start to modify it.
I'll do my best - but is always eaier to understand what's going on when
having a template to start with.
have a look at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wcs_server
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/tileindex
Thanks - I'll look at them as well.
3) the whole layer is obviously in several single tiles - can mapserver
handle this as a single layer or do I( have to do something special?
see the tileindex link above
Sorry for the slightly oftopic questions - but 1) should be ontopic.
Thanks
Rainer
good luck :)
That sounds as if I would need it ...
