Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF

This plugin aim to facilitate the creation and validation of Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG or COGEO). While it respects the COG specifications, this plugin also enforce several features:

  • Internal overviews (User can remove overview with option –overview-level 0)

  • Internal tiles (default profiles have 512x512 internal tiles)

Examples

# Create a COGEO with DEFLATE compression (Using default `Deflate` profile)
$ rio cogeo create mydataset.tif mydataset_jpeg.tif

# Validate COGEO
$ rio cogeo validate mydataset_jpeg.tif

# Create a COGEO with JPEG profile and the first 3 bands of the data and add internal mask
$ rio cogeo create mydataset.tif mydataset_jpeg.tif -b 1,2,3 --add-mask --cog-profile jpeg

Default COGEO profiles

JPEG

  • JPEG compression

  • PIXEL interleave

  • YCbCr colorspace

  • limited to uint8 datatype and 3 bands data

WEBP

  • WEBP compression

  • PIXEL interleave

  • limited to uint8 datatype and 3 or 4 bands data

  • Available for GDAL>=2.4.0

ZSTD

  • ZSTD compression

  • PIXEL interleave

  • Available for GDAL>=2.3.0

Note in Nov 2018, there was a change in libtiff’s ZSTD tags which create incompatibility for old ZSTD compressed GeoTIFF link

LZW

  • LZW compression

  • PIXEL interleave

DEFLATE

  • DEFLATE compression

  • PIXEL interleave

PACKBITS

  • PACKBITS compression

  • PIXEL interleave

RAW

  • NO compression

  • PIXEL interleave

Default profiles are tiled with 512x512 blocksizes.

Profiles can be extended by providing ‘–co’ option in command line

# Create a COGEO without compression and with 1024x1024 block size and 256 overview blocksize
$ rio cogeo create mydataset.tif mydataset_raw.tif --co BLOCKXSIZE=1024 --co BLOCKYSIZE=1024 --cog-profile raw --overview-blocksize 256

Web-Optimized COG

rio-cogeo provide a –web-optimized option which aims to create a web-tiling friendly COG.

Output dataset features:

  • bounds and internal tiles aligned with web-mercator grid.

  • raw data and overviews resolution match mercator zoom level resolution.

Important

Because the mercator project does not respect the distance, when working with multiple images covering different latitudes, you may want to use the –global-maxzoom option to create output dataset having the same MAX_ZOOM (raw data resolution).

Because it will certainly create a larger file, a nodata value or alpha band should be present in the input dataset. If not the original data will be surrounded by black (0) data.

Internal tile size

By default rio cogeo will create a dataset with 512x512 internal tile size. This can be updated by passing –co BLOCKXSIZE=64 –co BLOCKYSIZE=64 options.

Web tiling optimization

if the input dataset is aligned to web mercator grid, the internal tile size should be equal to the web map tile size (256 or 512px). Dataset should be compressed.

if the input dataset is not aligned to web mercator grid, the tiler will need to fetch multiple internal tiles. Because GDAL can merge range request, using small internal tiles (e.g 128) will reduce the number of byte transfered and minimized the useless bytes transfered.

GDAL configuration to merge consecutive range requests

GDAL_HTTP_MERGE_CONSECUTIVE_RANGES=YES
GDAL_HTTP_MULTIPLEX=YES
GDAL_HTTP_VERSION=2

Overview levels

By default rio cogeo will calculate the optimal overview level based on dataset size and internal tile size (overview should not be smaller than internal tile size (e.g 512px). Overview level will be translated to decimation level of power of two:

overview_level = 3
overviews = [2 ** j for j in range(1, overview_level + 1)]
print(overviews)
[2, 4, 8]

GDAL Version

It is recommanded to use GDAL > 2.3.2. Previous version might not be able to create proper COGs (ref: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/754).

More info in https://github.com/cogeotiff/rio-cogeo/issues/60

Nodata, Alpha and Mask

By default rio-cogeo will forward any nodata value or alpha channel to the output COG.

If your dataset type is Byte or Unit16, you could use internal bit mask (with the –add-mask option) to replace the Nodata value or Alpha band in output dataset (supported by most GDAL based backends).

Note: when adding a mask with an input dataset having an alpha band you’ll need to use the bidx options to remove it from the output dataset.

# Replace the alpha band by an internal mask
$ rio cogeo mydataset_withalpha.tif mydataset_withmask.tif --cog-profile raw --add-mask --bidx 1,2,3

Important

Using internal nodata value with lossy compression (webp, jpeg) is not recommanded. Please use internal masking (or alpha band if using webp).

Statistics

Some libraries might request to use COGs with statistics written in the internal metadata. rio-cogeo doesn’t calculate nor copy those when creating the output dataset (because statistics may change due to lossy compression). To add the statistics to the output dataset you could use the code above:

import rasterio

with rasterio.open("my-data.tif", "r+") as src_dst:
    for b in src_dst.indexes:
        band = src_dst.read(indexes=b, masked=masked)
        stats = {
            'min': float(band.min()),
            'max': float(band.max()),
            'mean': float(band.mean())
            'stddev': float(band.std())
        }
        src_dst.update_tags(b, **stats)

Contribution & Development

The rio-cogeo project was begun at Mapbox and has been transferred to the CogeoTIFF organization in January 2019.
