Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) creation and validation plugin for Rasterio.

Documentation: https://cogeotiff.github.io/rio-cogeo/

Source Code: https://github.com/cogeotiff/rio-cogeo

This plugin aims to facilitate the creation and validation of Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG or COGEO). While it respects the COG specifications, this plugin also enforces several features:

• Internal overviews (User can remove overview with option --overview-level 0)
• Internal tiles (default profiles have 512x512 internal tiles)

Important: Starting from GDAL 3.1 a new COG generator driver will be added (doc, discussion) and will make rio-cogeo kinda obsolete.

$ pip install -U pip
$ pip install rio-cogeo

Or install from source:

$ pip install -U pip
$ pip install git+https://github.com/cogeotiff/rio-cogeo.git

It is recommanded to use GDAL > 2.3.2. Previous versions might not be able to create proper COGs (ref: OSGeo/gdal#754).
