Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF Creator

Simple Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF Creator. Just upload a GeoTIFF file and click "Create COG". The app would build a Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF so you can download it.

Details

The implementation designed to be as simple as possible. The COG Creation code is mainly based on the article by Sanket Saxena with PyGDAL specifics.

The outcome of the creator is the Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF:

• Overviews built with the following parameters: 'AVERAGE', [2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256]
• COG build with the following parameters: "TILED=YES", "COMPRESS=LZW", "COPY_SRC_OVERVIEWS=YES"

Quality Assurance

• ✅ Tested on Google Chrome Version 97.0.4692.99

• ⛔️ Not working if the filename has blanks. See issue.
• ✅ Removes the file from the static folder once creating the next COG.
• ✅ Generates valid Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF.
