[mapserver-users] Creating lower aeriel image cache from the best resolution tiles

[Puneet Kishor]

Yesterday at SOTMUS here in SF, Dane Springmeyer (Maobox) demonstrated something they call "overzooming" that might be worth investigating. It seems to solve the kind of problem Thomas is articulating.

The lower resolution tiles could me created by combining and resamplint tiles from the tiles of the higher zoom level in groups of 4. This should be much faster than asking lower level images from the WMS, especially if the WMS is a remote one and connection is slow. If resampling from Z+1 tiles yields to artifacts I feel that quality by resampling from Z+2 would normally be good and speed migh be still fantastic.
