I have a question about loading partial images using Sanselan. I am using Sanselan to load and process GeoTIFF images and so far it works like a champ. Unfortunately, some of the source files I'm using are quite large (12000x4000 pixels). When I "zoom in" to the image, the part that I am showing on my display is often much smaller (1000x1000 pixels). Is there a means to load up a partial image? I would like to accomplish too goals:
a) Loading time is about 6 seconds, which is a long time for a user to have to wait. It would be nice to load a partial image and save loading time. b) The buffered image produced by Sanselan when loading the file uses one 4-byte int per pixel, which is really convenient for my processing, but has the consequence that the memory use for the raw pixels is about 183 meg. Loading a partial would reduce this. The other thing I'm looking at is cases where I am "zoomed out". It would be useful to copy the raw image to a reduced size using image processing built into Sanselan. Do you have a code sample that shows how to do that.
