[Geoserver-users] Publishing a tiled GeoTIFF as a WMS

Hi list

Can someone please tell me, if it’s possible to publish 4 tiled GeoTIFF files as a single WMS service? When creating a data store for the GeoTIFF, I usually put the single file name in the “Connection Parameters->URL”, and then I can access this single file through WMS.

Earlier, my GeoTIFF provider supplied me with a single GeoTIFF file. But now, my provider (Pix4D) has begun giving me GeoTIFF files for the area as 4 files with the names “xxx_orthomosaic_geo_rgb_0_0.tif”, “xxx_orthomosaic_geo_rgb_0_1.tif”, “xxx_orthomosaic_geo_rgb_1_0.tif” and “xxx_orthomosaic_geo_rgb_1_1.tif”. How do I configure these 4 files as a single data store for publishing through WMS? Apparently, Pix4D can no longer be configured to give me a single GeoTIFF. Should I combine the files in Quantum GIS, or what is the right procedure?

I’m on 2.3.1.

Thanks in advance,
Jacob Madsen

Thanks for your response, Edward. I just found out, that I can merge the files to a single GeoTIFF using Quantum GIS’ support for gdal-tools’ “merge” (Raster->Miscellanous->Merge in QGIS). Now my question is - what performs best?

  • A single large GeoTIFF file without ImageMosaic.

  • Multiple files published with ImageMosaic.

Anyone can give me some general guidance on this? What approach is best?

Thanks in advance
Jacob

That’s where the ImageMosaic plugin comes in:
