[Gdal-dev] large image files

[Steve Brooks]

Is there an image file format that will allow images greater than 4 Gig
in size

and work with gdal_merge.py?

 

I know kakadu will compress images bigger than 4 Gig but won't work with

gdal_merge.py because the JP2KAKRasterBand::IWriteBlock isn't
implemented.

 

Are there any plans to implement JP2KAKRasterBand::IWriteBlock?

 

Would it be implemented similarly to JP2KAKCopyCreate but it would cache
tiles

until a complete row of tiles are available so that you can push and
entire line

to the compressor?

 

                engines[c].push(lines[c],true);

 

Or would there be more to it that I'm not seeing?

 

Thanks

 

Steve Brooks
