Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF

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

• Internal overviews (User can remove overview with option --overview-level 0)
• Internal tiles (default profiles have 512x512 internal tiles)

Important: in GDAL 3.1 a new COG driver has been added (doc, discussion), starting with rio-cogeo version 2.2, --use-cog-driver option was added to create COG using the COG driver.
