Hello, I got a huge dataset consisting of about 100 uncompressed TIFF's, each with size 12599 X 9449 pixels with RGB bands. Note, that the TIFF's are not georef'ed, instead there are .tfw's following each file. Also, since they are about 350 MB each, I guess converting them to a compressed format could speed things up (I/O).
The "normal" approach would probably be to make a VRT dataset, and build overviews. However, building a an overview based on the entire VRT index seems a bit heavy in this case. Is it possible in some way to create compressed overviews (using gdaladdo) for each file, and then build a VRT based on these ? Will the VRT dataset utilize the generated overviews ? - oyvind
