Thank you, Jukka, for reproducing the behavior and explaining the reason behind it!

    Hi,

    Those two commands behave in quite different ways. With “-oo
    OVERVIEW_LEVEL=1” the output size is the size of the second
    overview. In my test case the original has 12000 x 12000 pixels
    and the command creates a 3000 x 3000 sized output

    GDAL: GDALWarpKernel()::GWKNearestNoMasksOrDstDensityOnlyByte()
    Src=0,0,3000x3000 Dst=0,0,3000x3000

    ...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

    With -ovr 1 the output has the size of the full resolution image,
    12000 x 12000 pixels, even the data is read from the 3000 x 3000
    overview. The pixels will be upsampled.

    The behavior is the same when using a TIFF with internal overviews
    as input instead of VRT. Obviously the -ovr option has been
    designed to force the use of some better-quality overview as
    source data when warping yields a smaller, downsampled image. The
    forced upsampling does not make much sense to me. I wonder if
    gdalwarp should even allow that?

    The gdal_translate utility has also -ovr option
    https://gdal.org/programs/gdal_translate.html#cmdoption-gdal_translate-ovr.
    It behaves in a different way  when it comes to the size of the
    output, but with gdal_translate it makes sense.

    “When -ovr is specified to an integer value, and none of -outsize
    and -tr is specified, the size of the overview will be used as the
    output size.”

    Maybe the thing to do is to improve the documentation of the
    gdalwarp option
    https://gdal.org/programs/gdalwarp.html#cmdoption-gdalwarp-ovr and
    mention that this option does not have on effect on the size of
    the output.

    *Aihe:* [gdal-dev] Discrepancy in utilizing overviews with gdalwarp

    I'd anticipate that both commands would yield the same outcome:

    $ gdalwarp -oo OVERVIEW_LEVEL=1 -dstalpha input.vrt ovr1.tif
    $ gdalwarp -ovr 1 -dstalpha input.vrt ovr1.tif

    However, the reality is different. The first command behaves as
    intended, utilizing overviews from |*.vrt.ovr|, while the second
    command operates noticeably slower, seemingly disregarding the
    overviews.
