<div>I think your instinct to rasterize the footprints is the right one here. filters.overlay is going to do point-in-polygon for every point/poly combo. Most are quickly thrown out, but you're going to be checking every one. A raster mask is going to be much
 quicker, and you can control the resolution with gdal_rasterize.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't know why you wouldn't use the overlay/range option. I don't know any reason why this would be slow and it seems simple.</div><div><br></div></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr">Andrew Bell<br><a href="mailto:andrew.bell.ia@gmail.com" target="_blank">andrew.bell.ia@gmail.com</a></div></div>
