Research direction

Start with Tilebench and the linked morecantile and async-cog-reader tools, then review the GDAL/Rasterio benchmarking references. Build a reproducible comparison across projections using Sentinel 2 and NAIP datasets; done means reporting S3 latency and transfer timings, GET request counts, and transferred bytes.

Description

issue-1

Internal block size for COG seems like an endless discussion.

Tilebench won't solve everything but with luck and nice reproducible process we will have a better understanding.


Blue - internal blocks
Red - Mercator grid

Methods

Input project has quite an effect so we should make sure to test with several projection

Tools:

Expected results
  • Timings (S3 latency and data transfer)
  • Number of GET Called
  • Transfered byte
Dataset
  • Sentinel 2 - Int16 1band
  • Naip - 3 bands Byte
