Dear community,
I was in touch earlier regarding a fix that would enable Geoserver to serve raw raster data with 16 bit data size trough WMS without it being rescaled to 8 bit.
The patch can be seen here:
https://github.com/asterycs/geotools/commit/307d4e2a3d0089b9c27d98ba18435599494f8c10
I understood from a brief discussion with Simone Giannecchini that the fix in its current state is insufficient for being merged into the codebase. We are however eager to get this functionality working and would appreciate any hints on how the fix could be improved.
Simone mentioned that the WMS encoders need to be updated and also that the contrast enhancement will need reviewing. We are however not entirely sure how all the pieces fit together and would appreciate any insight on what to focus on to make this an official Geoserver feature.
Best regards
