cogeotiff

Tools to work with Cloud optimized GeogTiff (COG)

• Completely javascript based, works in the browser and nodejs
• Lazy load Tiffs images and metadata
• Supports huge 100GB+ COGs
• Uses GDAL Tiffs optimizations, generally only one or two reads per tile!
• Loads Tiffs from URL, File, Google Cloud or AWS S3
• Used in production for LINZ's Basemaps with billions of tiles fetched from COGs!

Usage

Load a COG from a URL using fetch

import { SourceHttp } from '@chunkd/source-http';

const source = new SourceHttp('https://example.com/cog.tif');
const cog = await Tiff.create(source);

const img = cog.images[0];
if (img.isTiled()) throw new Error('Tiff is not tiled');
const tile = await img.getTile(2, 2); // Fetch a tile from a tiff x:2, y:2

// Tiff tags can be directly accessed too
img.value(TiffTag.GdalNoData); // "-9999"
// or tag metadata can be fetched
img.tags.get(TiffTag.GdalNoData); 
/**
{
  type: 'inline', // How the tag was read "inline" vs "lazy"
  id: 42113, // Tag Id (@see TiffTag)
  name: 'GdalNoData', // Tag Name
  count: 6, // Number of values
  value: '-9999',
  dataType: 2, // Char
  tagOffset: 194 // Bytes into the file where the tag was read.
}

cogeotiff dump

Dump all tiles for a image (Warning if you do this for a large cog this will create millions of files.)

cogeotiff dump --image 2 --output output
