在geoserver中图像格式的数据说明,摘录的:
ImageMosaic = Stores more than one image - ImageMosaic data store allows the creation of a mosaic
WorldImage = Georeferencing file (plain text file with coordinates and pixel resolution)
ImagePyramid = image pyramid builds multiple mosaics of images, each one at a different zoom level, making it so that each tile is stored in a separate file. Can speed up image handling.
