[Mapserver-users] I have some landsat 7 data that I want to tile : overlap + transparency

Ed,

How would I do that with the following layer for CanImage:

e.g., using the  BBOX parameter ???


LAYER # Centre d'information Topographique - CIT Sherbrooke
    NAME "CANIMAGE"
    TYPE RASTER
    OFFSITE 0 0 0
    STATUS on
    CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
    CONNECTION "http://wms.cits.rncan.gc.ca/cgi-bin/cubeserv.cgi?"
    METADATA
      "wms_title" "CANIMAGE"
      "wms_name" "CANIMAGE:CanImage/CanImage"
      "wms_server_version" "1.1.0"
      "wms_srs" "epsg:26910"
      "wms_format" "image/png"
   END
   PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:26910"
    END
END #



Thanks
Stephen

Folks -

The concept of a 300 dpi image from spatial imagery is nothing more than
a convenient fiction.  EVERY WMS command produces a 300 dpi image - at a
certain output scale.

You need to define one more variable - the geographic dimensions of a
pixel.  This will let you calculate the image size you want.  Say, for
example, you want to create a 300 dpi image in which each pixel
represents 15 meters (in each dimension).  This means each inch on the
output product will be 300 x 15 meters, so your output scale is 1 inch =
300 x 15 meters or 1 inch = 300 x 15 x 39.37 inches - a scale of
1:177,165.

If you'd like to do that, and produce a 6" x 6" 300 dpi image at a
resolution of 15 meters per pixel, your WMS request asks for 6 x 300 x
15 or 27,000 meters in each dimension (in the BBOX parameter) and asks
for a WIDTH and HEIGHT of 1,800 pixels (6 inches at 300 dpi).

If you'd like the image to be 10 meters per pixel, or 30 meters per
pixel, you would request a BBOX where delta X and delta Y were both
18,000 meters or 54,000 meters respectively.

The CanImage layer is a processed set, with no overlaps, at 15m
resolution.
The CCRS Landsat are band 743, as distributed by GeoGratis.  Same base
product, different pre-processing done to the data.  IMHO, the CanImage
product looks more seamless.

No, anyone else got an idea here?
