Hi everyvone,

I have a problem with gdaladdo while preprocessing raster images. For the output of raster images in a Mapserver application I use gdaladdo to build overviews of an image that represents Germany (gdaladdo -r average test.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024). Typically just the first 4 levels are used in the application. To get better output results from Mapserver I used the processing method "resample=average". But the problem for high quality output in the Mapserver application seems to be the great difference between the levels of the overviews. So I tried to build overviews with gdaladdo -r average test.tif 2 3 4 5 6 7 .... 20. But now I have the problem that at the same zoomlevels in mapserver and in the pyramid (e.g. image at 500x500 pixel) the quality of the image is worse than in former case. Maybe gdaladdo does compute the next level not from the original image but from the previous level in the pyramid? Is there a possibility to build the each overview from original image to get the best qualty in downsampled images?

thanks in advance
