Splitting big planet bitmap into titles

[FSword7]

Does anyone know any tools or codes for splitting huge planet bitmap like blue marble bitmaps into individual tiles at LOD levels?

GIMP should do the trick. Try the Filters function.

i do

it is a script that uses the VPIS image lib
https://github.com/libvips/libvips/releases

you might also want to use the GUI to the lib - called Nip2
https://github.com/libvips/nip2

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash
function min () {
         if(( $1 < $2 )); then
                  echo $1
         else
                  echo $2
         fi
}

if [ $# -lt 3 -o "$1" = " --help" ] ; then
 echo
 echo ' Usage: vipsvt [--help | <texture name><tile size><tile format>] [e|E|w|W]'
 echo
else
block_width=$2;
block_height=$2;

dir=`dirname $1`
file=`basename $1`
fileformat=$3
#copy=$$_$file.v
 #echo making local copy of image as $copy ...
 
#vips im_copy $1 $copy

width=`vips im_header_int Xsize $file`
height=`vips im_header_int Ysize $file`

j=0

while (( j * block_width + block_width <= height ));do
      ((top = j * block_width ))
  if [ $# -eq 4 ]; then
     if [ "$4" = "e" -o "$4" = "E" ]; then
          ioff=$(( width/block_width ))
     elif ["$4" = "w" -o "$4" = "W" ]; then
          ioff=0
      else
       echo
       echo "*** Incorrect 4th paramenter! **"
       echo
      return
    fi
 fi
 
i=0

    while (( i * block_width + block_width <= width )); do
          ((left = i * block_width))
          toname=$dir/tx_$((i + ioff))_${j}.$fileformat
         
          ((right = $width - $left))
          ((bottom = $height - $top))
         
          tile_width=`min $block_width $right`
          tile_height=`min $block_height $bottom`
         
     echo extracting tile $left $top as $toname
          vips im_extract_area $file $toname \
              $left $top $tile_width $tile_height

   
   ((i++))
   done
   ((j++))
  done
 
  # rm $$_$file.v
  # rm $copy
   #rm $$_$file.desc

on a oldish computer it takes about 5 min. to cut up a 64k map
on my NEW I9 cpu , 32 gig ram box it takes about 1.5 min


as to fridger's tools they are still offline with the celestialmatters web site

If you use GIMP, this is the right method: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions ... to-several-small-size-pictures
