Partial reading on Cloud hosted dataset

rio-tiler perform partial reading on local or distant dataset, which is why it will perform best on Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG). It's important to note that Sentinel-2 scenes hosted on AWS are not in Cloud Optimized format but in JPEG2000. When performing partial reading of JPEG2000 dataset GDAL (rasterio backend library) will need to make a lot of GET requests and transfer a lot of data.

Plugins

• rio-tiler-mvt: Create Mapbox Vector Tile from numpy array (tile/mask)

Mission Specific tiler

In rio-tiler v2 we choosed to remove the mission specific tilers (Sentinel2, Sentinel1, Landsat8 and CBERS). Those are now in a specific plugin: rio-tiler-pds.

Implementations

• rio-viz: Visualize Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF in browser locally
• titiler: A lightweight Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF dynamic tile server.
• cogeo-mosaic: Create mosaics of Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF based on mosaicJSON specification.
