I haven't benchmarked cogger but I'd expect it to be much faster than gdal_translate -of COG (if your input is GeoTIFF and always properly tiled and compressed of course!). gdal_translate -of COG uses generic GDAL API to acquire input data, which implies decompression / recompression. And in

I haven't extensively used -of COG (the cogger code actually predates the cog driver) but iirc there are at least some cases where it uses an intermediate file, which would imply that cogger does offer some speedups. I'll let Even confirm... Regards, Thomas Le ven. 4 juin 2021 à 18:14, a écrit :

Is cogger specifically for the scenario where your converting a large imagery library that already exists, but isn't cloud optimized? i.e. Does it offer any advantages over the one step `gdal_translate -of cog ...` when starting fresh? Cheers, Matt Geomatics Analyst | Environment | T

Hi Thomas, cogger is really cool, and certainly a useful complement to the GDAL COG driver (we could probably do something similar in it directly, if the input file is a TIFF, but that doesn't fit in a very natural way in the GDAL machinery). Feel free to submit a PR to the COG driver doc

Hello gdal, We're releasing two projects on github under an Apache-2.0 licence which may be of interest to the GDAL community. The first one, https://github.com/airbusgeo/cogger is a lightweight geotiff to COG converter that reshuffles the bytes of a tiled geotiff to make it cloud compatible.
