Raster formats

Imagery

Tag Image File Format or Tagged Image File Format, commonly known by the abbreviations TIFF or TIF, is an image file format for storing raster graphics. GeoTIFF is based on the TIFF format and is used as an interchange format for geo-referenced raster imagery. It is mostly used as a distribution format for satellite or aerial photography imagery and for other kinds of data such as Digital Elevation Model (DEM).

A Cloud Optimized Geotiff(COG) is a GeoTIFF file with an internal organization that enables more efficient workflows in the cloud environment. It does this by leveraging the ability of clients issuing HTTP GET range requests to ask for just the parts of a file they need.

A geotiff asset can be streamed from HxDR platform by either creating a WMS/WMTS service for the asset or converting the geotiff asset to a cloud optimized geotiff artifact and connecting to the cog streaming endpoint.
