Tiling Large Rasters

[Ethan Alpert]

I downloaded a tool someone wrote on the GDAL-DEV list called gdalsplit
which splits images. You may want to consider just splitting the image
and creating a tile index of the pieces.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Tiling Large Rasters


Hi,

normally I tile raster images with a little script that uses netpbm to
load the data und cut out the tiles.  But now I have an image to tile
that is too large to be loaded into memory.

Actually it should be possible to do the tiling with constant memory
consumption (ammount of memory not depending on the size of the image).

Is there any software out there that accomplishes this task?

I looked briefly into the documentation of Grass but couldn't find
anything.

Thanks,
        Titus
