I am trying to convert large (+50 GB) BigTiff images into JPEG 2000 format for post analysis using Python. I have succeeded on converting the large BigTiff files into JPEG using libvips; however, libvips does not have direct support for JPEG 2000 - what a bummer
I have been able to write JPEG 2000 images using glymur but the problem with glymur is that writing JPEG 2000 images is currently limited to images that can fit in memory. Since my workstation haves only 8 GB of RAM it would be impossible to convert a +50 GB file into JPEG 2000.
If anyone could point me into the right direction on converting a BigTiff into JPEG 2000 efficiently using a RAM limited work station, I would like to hear about it.
Cheers,
