[Insight-users] Big tiff images

[Neal R. Harvey]

We deal with some very large remotely-sensed GeoTiff images and ITK does 
not cope with
these very well. However, one way to cope with this is to use tiling. 
ITK does not provide this functionality,
that I am aware of, but we have had great success using GDAL in this 
regard (http://www.gdal.org/).
It is perfectly possible to combine GDAL and ITK, using GDAL for your 
tiling I/O functionality and ITK
for processing the tiles as they are read in.

Cheers

Harve
