[Geoserver-users] Raster image quality problem

Hi,

We are attempting to serve up some high-res aerial imagery (6-inch resolution JPEGs with world files) via Geoserver (1.6b1 w/ImageMosaic plugin), TileCache, and OpenLayers. Everything works but we are having a problem with the image quality (see attached jpeg, original images is on the left and Geoserver output is on the right). The images are badly pixelated and seem to be at a lower resolution than the originals. I tried adjusting the interpolation settings in the WMS rendering config settings but it made little difference. We have similar problems with 1-foot resolution images though not as severe.

I've seen this issue mentioned at least once elsewhere and was wondering if anyone had successfully resolved the problem.

Regards,

I don't think it has been addressed. Can you give me a sample of that
file that I can use to figure out what's going on?

I tried the image you sent me. With the default settings it's indeed
pixelated, but that's just because by default we don't try to fake
a resolution it's not there.
When enabling bilinear interpolation I got exactly the same results
I can get in the Windows file preview, or in a viewer such as IrfanView.

If you did not see any change, it may be because of browser caching
the tiles. I'm attaching screenshots of what I see in the Windows
image preview utility and what is generated by GeoServer with nearest neighbour and bilinear interpolation (as set in the WMS/rendering
configuration section).

Let me know if this addresses your issue.

All,
I think I am having the same issue.

Is this an issue or are we doing something wrong in out configs?

In Nathan's case, if I remember properly, it was the projection
files that weren't set up correctly.
Anyways, if you can share at least one file of your mosaic
I can have a look.
