Hi David, Following on from the VRT / Bigtiff comparison Jukka posted. Have you considered storing the data as a single KEA format file, which is based on HDF5? I have the National Elevation Dataset for the US, which comprises 3,605 1 x 1 degree tiles at 1 arc sec resolution. I first created a

Now what to do instead? A WMS/WCS service can send a piece of DEM with thousands of pixels as GeoTIFF in a second and a heavy client like QGIS could continue the analysis. Or you can use the existing vrt file and read the region of interest with gdal_translate. This request is not very fast eith

Norman, Yes it does... At first I am looking to see if I can do this "off the shelf" with just the tools in the GDAL/ORG toolset. Are you thinking of using OGR to do the spatial query with the spatialite db? Would a .qix indexed tile index shapefile work? David From: Norman Vine [mailto:n

This is an application that is just screaming for a spatial index For starters you could build a spatialite db of the individual file extents that returned the filename to pass to gdallocationinfo On Feb 1, 2014, at 9:14 AM, "David Baker (Geoscience)" wrote: > Jukka, > > Jukka wrote: >> I was

Evan, I am not sure how to profile as I do not have access to the code to profile. I did do a timing test... vrt file = 22,970 KB bil file = 35,180 KB * 55,501 I piped five locations from the loc.txt file: -96.0 36.0 -98.0 37.0 -100.0 38.0 -99.0 39.0 -101.0 35.0 gdallocationinfo -valonly -geo
