DESCRIPTION¶
This utility will retile a set of input tile(s). All the input tile(s) must be
georeferenced in the same coordinate system and have a matching number of
bands. Optionally pyramid levels are generated. It is possible to generate
shape file(s) for the tiled output.
If your number of input tiles exhausts the command line buffer, use the general
--optfile option
- -targetDir directory:
- The directory where the tile result is created. Pyramids are stored in
subdirectories numbered from 1. Created tile names have a numbering schema
and contain the name of the source tiles(s)
- -of format:
- Output format, defaults to GeoTIFF (GTiff).
- -co NAME=VALUE:
- Creation option for output file. Multiple options can be specified.
- -ot datatype:
- Force the output image bands to have a specific type. Use type names (ie.
Byte, Int16,...)
- -ps pixelsize_x
pixelsize_y:
- Pixel size to be used for the output file. If not specified, 256 x 256 is
the default
- -levels numberOfLevels:
- Number of pyramids levels to build.
- -v:
- Generate verbose output of tile operations as they are done.
- -pyramidOnly:
- No retiling, build only the pyramids
- -r algorithm:
- Resampling algorithm, default is near
- -s_srs srs_def:
- Source spatial reference to use. The coordinate systems that can be passed
are anything supported by the
OGRSpatialReference.SetFro‐mUserInput() call, which includes EPSG
PCS and GCSes (ie.EPSG:4296), PROJ.4 declarations (as above), or the name
of a .prf file containing well known text. If no srs_def is given, the
srs_def of the source tiles is used (if there is any). The srs_def will be
propagated to created tiles (if possible) and to the optional shape
file(s)
- -tileIndex tileIndexName:
- The name of shape file containing the result tile(s) index
- -tileIndexField
tileIndexFieldName:
- The name of the attribute containing the tile name
- -csv csvFileName:
- The name of the csv file containing the tile(s) georeferencing
information. The file contains 5 columns:
tilename,minx,maxx,miny,maxy
- -csvDelim column delimiter:
- The column delimter used in the csv file, default value is a semicolon
';'
- -useDirForEachRow:
- Normally the tiles of the base image are stored as described in
-targetDir. For large images, some file systems have performance
problems if the number of files in a directory is to big, causing
gdal_retile not to finish in reasonable time. Using this parameter creates
a different output structure. The tiles of the base image are stored in a
subdirectory called 0, the pyramids in subdirectories numbered 1,2,....
Within each of these directories another level of subdirectories is
created, numbered from 0...n, depending of how many tile rows are needed
for each level. Finally, a directory contains only the the tiles for one
row for a specific level. For large images a performance improvement of a
factor N could be achieved.
NOTE: gdal_retile.py is a Python script, and will only work if GDAL was built
with Python support.
