Export Orthomosaic => JPG compression fails at native GSD

[toxicmag]

Dear Support-Team,

export of an Orthomosaic just gave me the following feedback (s. screenshot attached).

I changed some parameters and it seems to be only buggy when exporting into default GSD given by the entire project itself and JPG.

summary:
#  JPG compression does NOT work at default (native) GSD (here: 1.31cm/px)
#  If i change the GSD values just slightly the export works fine
#  LZW compression works
#  JPG works at all other GSDs

Hello Alex,

Can you share the log from the Console pane related to the failed export operation (sensible information, such as paths can be removed before posting)?

What is the expected size of the output orthomosaic?

Hello Alexey,

expected filesize will just crack the 2GB border.
Selecting "write BigTIFF file" does not help.

LZW files end up at 4GB

Hello Alex,

Does it help to enable "Tiled TIFF" option?

JPEG compression is limited to 65535x65535 pixels per block.

Hi Alexey,

i just checked the "tiled" file option and it worked.     

I'd like to search later what this option does, because the funny thing is that the console said: generating 67339x47398 raster in 1x1 tiles.
So after all it still is just 1 tile (file is ~2.2GB) and it doesn't mean to get several tiles like when you use the split option in many tiles.

THX a lot Alexey!

Hello Alex,

Tiled TIFF is an internal representation of the raster data, each internal tile is compressed separately..

Hello Alexey,

I have the same problem and actually testing the "tiled" file option solution.

In general the process needs much more time with the tiled option (2 hours compared to 10 mins normally).
I was wondering why this is working in some cases without any extra options and in special cases not.
Is this caused by different resolutions?

Best,
Norman
