I'm currently working on a project where I have an image of around 3.9gb. I want to create a google maps like view for this image (which is something LibVIPS can generate) by executing the following command:
vips-dev-8.1.1\bin\vips.exe dzsave testje-131072.tiff mydz
However when doing this some warnings are shown and after that the program crashes:
vips warning: tiff2vips: no resolution information for TIFF image "testje-131072.tiff" -- defaulting to 1 pixel per mm
vips warning: tiff2vips: no resolution information for TIFF image "testje-131072.tiff" -- defaulting to 1 pixel per mm
vips warning: vips_tracked: out of memory --- size == 48MB
Anyone got a clue what I could do to be able to process an image of this size using Vips? (Or any other library?).
I've done some investigation myself and it seems we need to have BigTiff, I've looked in the VIPS source code and saw the term BigTiff being used a number of times so I suppose it should be supported?
Some information about the image:
Width: 131072
Height: 131072
Chunks: 32x32 (4096x4096 each)
Compression: LZW
When opening the image in a tool like VLIV (Very Large Image Viewer) the image opens fine.
