feat(data): read LERC-compressed GeoTIFFs and COGs (#1818) - #1984
RustGIS now reads LERC-compressed GeoTIFFs and COGs (Compression 34887), including LERC wrapped in Deflate or Zstandard, as GDAL writes them (COMPRESS=LERC, LERC_DEFLATE, LERC_ZSTD). Before this, such a file failed with compression method Unknown(34887) is unsupported. Examples are LINZ's 1 m elevation models and ESA's BIOMASS products, both in #1818.
New raster/lerc.rs: the tiff crate has no LERC codec, so this module decodes the chunks itself, following the shape of raster/lzw.rs:
reads a chunk's raw bytes;
undoes the extra layer that LercParameters (tag 50674) names: none, Deflate through miniz_oxide, or Zstandard through ruzstd, both already dependencies;
decodes the LERC blob with lerc-reader. It is pure Rust and MIT OR Apache-2.0, so the browser build gets it too, with no GDAL and no C++.
Several samples a pixel: one blob holding them all, pixel by pixel, or one blob per sample one after another; both work. Planar and pixel-interleaved images, tiles (edge tiles cropped) and strips all work.
Invalid pixels: pixels LERC marks invalid become NaN in floating-point images. In integer images they become the image's GDAL_NODATA value, or 0 without one.
One entry point:geotiff::read_chunk sends LERC chunks to the new module. A LERC image is read a chunk at a time instead of whole: the crate's whole-image read refuses the compression before any chunk is read. Because cog::decode_tile goes through read_chunk, local files, COGs read in place and layer.addUrl with bbox all get it.
Docs: the GeoTIFF rows in docs/user-guide/data-formats.md and data.md list LERC; docs/acknowledgements.md lists lerc-reader.
Testing
New tests in raster::lerc::tests: they read GDAL-written files in crates/data/tests/data/lerc/, generated by make_lerc.py there (GDAL 3.9.3 through rasterio, values made up, listed in ATTRIBUTION.md). Every cell is checked against the formula that wrote it:
File
Case
lerc_f32_tiles.tif
Float32, 32 × 32 tiles over 100 × 70 (edge tiles), with a hole of NaN from LERC's mask
lerc_deflate_u16_3bands.tif
three UInt16 bands, pixel-interleaved, LERC_DEFLATE
lerc_zstd_i16_planar_strips.tif
two Int16 bands stored apart, in strips, LERC_ZSTD
lerc_zstd_f64.tif
Float64, LERC_ZSTD
a_damaged_chunk_is_an_error flips bytes through a file and cuts it short: no panic.
After review: two more GDAL-written fixtures: lerc_u8_rgba_alpha_mask.tif, RGBA whose alpha GDAL keeps as LERC's mask, and lerc_f32_band_masks.tif, one mask per band. There are also tests on blobs written with lerc-writer for what GDAL never writes: integer masks, a band inheriting the mask before it, a band with every pixel valid after a masked one, a padded last strip, a blob of the wrong type, an oversized chunk and a zero-byte chunk. 15 LERC tests in all.
Remote COG (the file from the issue): LINZ dem_1m/2193/BQ31.tiff, 510 MB, LERC 2.4 with max Z error 0.001. layer.addUrl with a bbox read a 624 × 624 window by range in 4.8 s. The 600 × 600 cells it shares with a window GDAL read from the same file are identical: 360,000 of 360,000, difference 0.
BIOMASS: a forest-height window (ESA BIOMASS L2A, FP_FH__L2A) rewritten as LERC_ZSTD in 128 × 128 tiles, as ESA's files are. Opened and exported by rustgis-cli, it matches GDAL's values on all 28,607 valid cells, and the 38,135 no-data cells match too.
Checks, on Windows:
cargo xtask ci: fmt, clippy -D warnings and layers pass.
cargo test --workspace: everything else passes, apart from failures I traced to this machine, not to this change:
gdal_formats_open_when_gdal_is_installed needs GDAL 3.8, and this machine has 3.7.1.
9 UI tests read the interface in Portuguese on this Windows. They pass with RUSTGIS_LANGUAGE=en.
wrong_geometry_missing_file_and_missing_chosen_table_leave_the_layer_unchanged gets Windows' file-not-found message in Portuguese.
explore_click_asking_only_wms_clears_without_a_notice is a UI test with a placeholder WMS.
None of them goes through raster reading; the Linux CI here should show them green.
Dependencies: lerc-reader and lerc-core (regular) and lerc-writer (tests only) are all MIT OR Apache-2.0, which deny.toml allows; cargo deny itself isn't installed here. cargo xtask notices was run after adding them.
Web build: I couldn't build rustgis-web here, because its C Zstandard decoder needs clang, which this machine lacks. lerc-reader builds for wasm32-unknown-unknown on its own.
Where code comes from
My own code. The chunk layout and reading follow RustGIS's raster/lzw.rs. The meaning of LercParameters (LERC version, then 0 none, 1 Deflate, 2 Zstandard) is from GDAL's GTiff driver documentation, checked on GDAL-written files; no GDAL or libtiff code was followed. LERC itself is decoded by lerc-reader.
The tiff crate has no LERC codec, so a GeoTIFF with Compression 34887
failed to open. raster/lerc.rs decodes such chunks: it reads the raw
bytes, undoes the Deflate or Zstandard layer LercParameters names
(miniz_oxide, ruzstd) and decodes the LERC blob with lerc-reader (pure
Rust, MIT OR Apache-2.0). Pixels LERC marks invalid become NaN in
floating-point images, and the image's no-data value (else 0) in
integer ones. A LERC image is read a chunk at a time through
read_chunk, which cog::decode_tile also uses, so local files, COGs read
in place and layer.addUrl with bbox all read it.
Tests read GDAL-written fixtures (LERC, LERC_DEFLATE, LERC_ZSTD; tiles
with edge tiles, strips, bands stored apart, a masked hole) cell by cell.

Explanation
The title "feat(data): read LERC-compressed GeoTIFFs and COGs (#1818)" matches the main change. The PR adds built-in reading of LERC-compressed GeoTIFFs and COGs, including Deflate and Zstandard wrapping, through a new raster/lerc.rs module and the read_chunk entry point. The title is concise, names the feature, and follows a conventional commit style. The issue number is a minor addition.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issue: [#1818]. Coding requirements and evidence:
Decode LERC in GeoTIFF and COG reads: raster/lerc.rs decodes compression 34887 chunks. It handles optional Deflate (miniz_oxide) and Zstandard (ruzstd) wrappers. geotiff::read_chunk routes LERC chunks to this module.
Read only required blocks: read_limited_with_nodata excludes LERC images from whole-image decoding. Reads run chunk by chunk. cog::decode_tile calls read_chunk, so layer.addUrl with bbox uses the decoder.
HTTP range reads: the author reports a LINZ BQ31.tiff window read by range, matching GDAL on 360,000 of 360,000 shared cells. This is author-reported evidence, not verified here.
Preserve floating-point values and NoData: Float32 and Float64 stay float. Invalid pixels become NaN for floats and GDAL_NODATA (or 0) for integers. Tests compare cell values with GDAL-written fixtures.
Distributed builds without GDAL: lerc-reader is a pure Rust MIT OR Apache-2.0 dependency declared in Cargo.toml and crates/data/Cargo.toml.
Automated tests: 15 LERC tests, including GDAL-written fixtures, sparse and oversized chunk cases, and a damaged-chunk test that checks for errors without panics.
Chunk size bounds before allocation: the summary reports bounded chunk dimensions, blob sizes, and zero-byte chunks handled as no-data. These match the commit-message objective.
Georeferencing is not changed by this PR. The existing GeoTIFF reader supplies it, and no new test checks it directly.
Web build: the docs state browser support. The author reports lerc-reader builds for wasm32-unknown-unknown. rustgis-web was not built here, so browser support is not build-verified. The issue allows documenting platform limits, and the docs do not state a limit. No unmet coding requirement is shown.
Viewport selection, clipping, export, and mosaicking are follow-up items in the issue. They are not required here.
Cargo.toml and crates/data/Cargo.toml: lerc-reader and lerc-core as runtime dependencies, lerc-writer for tests only.
Test fixtures, make_lerc.py, and ATTRIBUTION.md: provenance and test data for the new tests.
Alpha restoration for GDAL's RGBA layout and per-band mask inheritance: these handle LERC mask semantics inside the same decoder. They are covered by fixtures and documented in data.md.
THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt (both copies): regenerated notices for the new crates. The reformatting is a side effect of regeneration.
docs (data-formats.md, data.md, acknowledgements.md): document LERC support and the new dependency.
The Windows test failures in the PR description are environment issues (GDAL 3.7.1, Portuguese UI strings, localized file-not-found text, a placeholder-WMS UI test). They add no code changes. No change is shown to be unrelated to LERC support.

Invalid LERC pixels in integer images with no GDAL_NODATA become 0. Nothing is recorded, and the docs call these pixels "no-data", which they are not in that case. Posted inline at lerc.rs:93. Confidence: high (~85%).
Strict height equality in decode_blob (lerc.rs:139) refuses a strip whose producer padded the last strip to full RowsPerStrip. Posted inline at lerc.rs:138. Confidence: low (~35%).
Security
A blob header is decoded to f64 before its dimensions are checked (lerc.rs:138). A crafted header could drive a large allocation inside lerc-reader, and an allocation failure aborts rather than panics. Posted inline at lerc.rs:138. Confidence: low to medium (~35–40%).
Performance
chunk re-reads the full offset and count arrays on every call (lerc.rs:76). On the whole-file path this is O(chunks²). Posted inline. Confidence: medium (~70%).
Quality
The test a_damaged_chunk_is_an_error (lerc.rs:273) asserts no panic and a kept size, not an error. Its name over-promises.
The PR says one blob per sample, one after another, "works", but no fixture exercises it: planar files give one sample per chunk, and the pixel-interleaved fixture may use a single blob. The mask-combining branch is also untested.
Grouped nit: the data.md paragraph about LERC has an uneven line wrap.
AGENTS.md
Checked and fine: no unwrap, expect or panic in non-test code; ATTRIBUTION.md, THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES and docs/acknowledgements.md are updated; the lines fit rustfmt's 140-column limit; every chunk read goes through read_chunk, so no direct tiff read path bypasses LERC.
Not verified: cancellation in the chunk loop. That loop already exists and this PR does not change it.
Prior review threads: none on this PR, so I left none alone and posted no repeats.

- Line 91: Update the decode path around decode_blob to recognize
pixel-interleaved UInt8 images with unassociated alpha when ExtraSamples and the
blob depth indicate GDAL stored alpha in the validity mask. Decode the
reduced-depth blob, then reconstruct the alpha sample from the mask before
returning the chunk; preserve the existing path for other encodings.
- Around line 165-167: Preserve each band’s validity mask in the
parts-processing and interleaving flow: apply each part’s mask to that part’s
samples before interleaving, rather than intersecting the masks into one
pixel-wide mask. Ensure an invalid sample in one band does not invalidate a
valid sample at the same pixel in another band.
- Line 138: Update the consecutive-blob decoding flow in decode_blob to pass the
preceding blob’s mask to the next decode when available, using the reader’s
supported mask-aware decoding path. Keep the existing no-mask behavior for the
first blob and preserve error propagation.

…pengeos#1818)
Review round on opengeos#1984:
- Samples a LERC mask marks invalid are gaps the readers make no-data
(decimate, decimate_parallel, cog::decode_tile), integer images
included: no longer a silent 0 without GDAL_NODATA.
- Each blob's mask applies to its own samples; a later band blob that
leaves its mask out inherits the one before it.
- A pixel-interleaved Byte image whose last sample is unassociated
alpha, stored by GDAL as LERC's mask (one sample short), gets its
alpha back.
- Each blob header is checked against the chunk, with a size bound,
before decoding; a strip taller than the image's last rows is cut.
- An image's chunk offsets and byte counts are read once (lerc::Table)
instead of for every chunk.
New GDAL-written fixtures (RGBA with alpha in the mask, Float32 with a
mask per band) and lerc-writer blobs for what GDAL never writes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Blob sample type is never checked against the TIFF's SampleFormat/BitsPerSample. A mismatched file gets silently truncated or saturated casts. (lerc.rs:289, confidence ~50%)
A padded strip with an inherited mask gets a truncated mask (truncate(pixels) runs before the mask is stored), so the next blob decodes with a short mask. Suggestion posted. (lerc.rs:225, confidence ~40%)
A zero-byte tile or strip makes the whole image fail ("holds 0 samples a pixel"). I did not check how the tiff crate treats empty chunks. (lerc.rs:128, confidence ~35%)
Security
No issues found. Byte counts, blob sizes and decoded sizes are bounded before allocation, and the Deflate and Zstandard layers have output limits.
Performance
No new issues. The offset and count arrays are read once per image, and the parallel path's memory budget already covers the per-sample working size.
Quality
Nits, left for the release quality pass: read_chunk returns a tuple while lerc::chunk returns a Chunk struct, Blobs is a vague name, and the Table name doesn't say it caches tag arrays.
Never silent
An alpha reconstructed from a missing mask is silently set to 255. (lerc.rs:239, confidence ~40%)
AGENTS.md
lerc-writer is a new dev-dependency whose licence the PR doesn't state. Confirm deny.toml allows it. (crates/data/Cargo.toml:85, confidence ~50%)
Otherwise the change follows the repo rules: no unwrap or expect in non-test code, no unsafe, LERC handling is in the reader path, docs and attribution are updated, and tests cover the clean and damaged cases.
Prior reviews: 6 earlier threads (silent integer losses, per-chunk tag re-reads, blob header validation, alpha mask, inherited masks, per-band masks). All are resolved or outdated, and the code in 2ab0e18 addresses them. I left all 6 alone.
I could not run the tests or read the lerc-reader source here; the findings come from reading the diff and the surrounding code.

from a previous band is not applied unconditionally when the current decoded

…ngeos#1818)
Second review round on opengeos#1984:
- A blob's sample type is checked against the TIFF's before decoding;
a mismatch is an error, not a cast (lerc-core is now a dependency,
for DataType).
- A part keeps its decoder's mask as is: no mask means every pixel
valid, so an all-valid band no longer takes the band before it's
holes; and the whole mask is kept for a later blob to inherit, a
padded strip's included.
- A chunk with no bytes (a sparse file's) is all no-data, as GDAL
reads it.
- A chunk's width x height x samples and the sum of its blobs are
bounded before any decoding.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The LERC decimate loops (geotiff.rs:1204 serial, and the decimate_parallel worker loop) never check Cancel. This PR routes every LERC read through them. The parallel workers also can't see the thread-local progress probe, so a plain progress::check() there would not stop them. Posted inline. Confidence ~60%.
Security
None found. Chunk sizes, blob headers, and per-chunk decoded bytes are bounded before allocation, and the Deflate and Zstandard layers are capped. The zero-byte-chunk and mismatched-type paths return errors or no-data, not panics.
Performance
cog.rs:642 builds a fresh lerc::Table for every COG tile, so each LERC tile re-reads the full offset and byte-count arrays. Posted inline. Confidence ~35%.
Quality
The PR description is stale. It says integer pixels LERC marks invalid become the GDAL_NODATA value or 0. The code now makes them NaN, and data.md agrees with the code. Confidence ~90%.
Nits, which can wait for the release quality pass: lerc-writer = "0.5" in crates/data/Cargo.toml is not declared through [workspace.dependencies] like its neighbours. read_chunk's table parameter is passed by single-chunk callers (cog.rs) that gain nothing from it.
AGENTS.md
Cancel gap above.
Licence check: lerc-writer is covered by the PR description, which says it is MIT OR Apache-2.0.
Earlier concerns I left alone: 13
11 were fixed in the current head with tests or code: blob-type check, zero-byte chunks, padded-strip mask, total-decoded bound, integer gaps, per-chunk Table, header-before-decode, GDAL alpha-as-mask, inherited masks, per-band masks, and the all-valid band after a masked one.
1 is answered by the PR description: the lerc-writer licence.
1 is still open, with unchanged logic: an alpha taken as opaque when there is no mask, with no notice (lerc.rs alpha branch). Not re-raised.

A chunk with no bytes filled its samples before the decoded-size bound
was checked, so a sparse file declaring huge tiles could ask for
gigabytes. The chunk's coded size is now bounded first, for every
chunk.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Performance (confidence ~30%): the thread budget may undercount LERC chunks.Chunks::bytes() (geotiff.rs:1084) budgets 13 bytes a sample for the scratch that decimate_parallel allows per thread (geotiff.rs:1193). A LERC chunk's peak inside lerc::chunk looks larger: decode_blob holds the blob's f64 values (8 B a sample) while it builds the interleaved copy (another 8 B) and the valid vector (1 B), and chunk then holds its output plus the gaps vector while the decoded parts are still alive. That is roughly 18 B a sample before to_f32. I have not measured this, and lerc-reader's internal buffers are not included. Impact is limited: affordable.max(default_max()) still allows the default thread count, and realistic LERC tiles are a few hundred pixels a side. It matters only for the largest tiles at a high thread setting. If you agree, either raise the factor for LERC chunks or state the estimate's basis in the doc comment.
I found no confirmed bug in the changed code. I checked the chunk geometry for tiles and padded strips, mask inheritance across bands, alpha reconstruction, the size bounds before allocation, sparse (zero-byte) chunks, and all three read_chunk callers (decimate, decimate_parallel, COG decode_tile). I read everything by hand; I did not build or run the tests.
Bugs
None confirmed.
Security
None found. Allocations are bounded before they happen. Deflate and Zstandard output is capped, and reads are limited to the chunk's byte count.
Performance
Low confidence (~30%): the thread budget may undercount LERC chunks.Chunks::bytes() budgets 13 B per sample, but a LERC chunk's peak inside lerc::chunk looks closer to 18 B per sample. Posted inline on crates/data/src/raster/geotiff.rs:1206. Impact is small, since the default thread count is always allowed.
Left alone, already raised: Cancel is not checked in the decimate loops, and the author answered that it's a separate issue. Also left alone: the per-tile lerc::Table in cog::decode_tile, which the author declined.
Quality
Test name mismatch (nit):a_damaged_chunk_is_an_error (lerc.rs:422) only asserts "no panic", plus the size when the read succeeds. Its name claims an error. Left for the release quality pass.
PR description is stale: it says integer invalid pixels become the GDAL nodata value or 0. The code and docs now use NaN. It also says there are 15 LERC tests; the file has 16.
Acknowledgements:docs/acknowledgements.md lists lerc-reader but not lerc-core, which is now a regular dependency.
Test coverage: no automated test runs LERC through cog::decode_tile_counted, so the COG gap-blanking path is covered only by the manual remote read.
AGENTS.md
No unwrap, expect, panic, unreachable, todo or unsafe in the non-test code I checked (lerc.rs, and the changed hunks in geotiff.rs and cog.rs).
Licences: lerc-writer (dev-only) and lerc-reader/lerc-core are MIT OR Apache-2.0, as the author states. The ATTRIBUTION row and the notices update are present.
Already raised and answered, left alone: the Cancel gap in decimate, and the per-tile table read in COG.

Bugs (confidence ~35%): a strip blob taller than its strip is accepted, and its extra rows are dropped without a notice.
The check bh == height || strip && bh > height accepts any strip blob taller than the strip's remaining rows, with no upper bound. Only the last strip is padded, and only to RowsPerStrip. So a non-last strip whose blob is taller than RowsPerStrip (or a last strip padded past it) passes here, and values.truncate(pixels * n) later discards real rows with no notice.
Suggested direction: pass the chunk's RowsPerStrip (the clamped ch) into Shape, and accept a taller strip only when bh == rows_per_strip. Anything else should be an error. A test with a blob one row taller than RowsPerStrip would cover it.
I read the full diff, the staged prior-review threads, and the surrounding geotiff.rs, cog.rs and lerc.rs code. The LERC decode path is careful: header checks run before decoding, allocations are bounded before they happen, get() is used over indexing, and Cancel is checked per chunk in both the serial and parallel loops. I found one probable bug and a few smaller points.
Bugs
Strip blobs taller than their strip are accepted and their extra rows dropped silently (lerc.rs:256, confidence ~35%). The check allows any bh > height for strips, with no upper bound tied to RowsPerStrip. Rows past the strip are truncated with no notice. Inline comment posted.
Security
None found. Decompression is capped (MAX_CHUNK_BYTES, take(...) on Zstandard output, decompress_to_vec_zlib_with_limit), and the header-based decoded-size check precedes every decode.
Performance
None new. The per-tile lerc::Table in cog::decode_tile_counted is the already-raised O(tiles) re-read, and I left it alone.
Quality
a_damaged_chunk_is_an_error (lerc.rs:422, confidence ~60%): the name says damaged chunks are errors, but the loop accepts Ok and only checks dimensions. Only the truncated-file assertion is strict. Grouped nit, not posted inline.
lerc-writer is declared as a literal dev-dependency in crates/data/Cargo.toml:86, while the other dev-dependencies go through [workspace.dependencies]. Grouped nit.
AGENTS.md
Lossy LERC blobs (maxZError > 0) are decoded without a notice (confidence ~25%). The approximation is in the file itself, not introduced by the reader, so this is a question for the maintainer rather than a clear violation. Grouped note.
Everything else I checked complies: no unwrap/expect/panic in non-test code, no unsafe, wasm-safe std usage, thread count from rustgis_data::threads, spawn_scoped, licences recorded in THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt, the LERC rows in ATTRIBUTION.md, and the docs updated.
Prior review threads
I left 13 earlier concerns alone because they were already raised: the thread budget (Chunks::bytes() at 13 B/sample, unanswered), the per-tile Table in COG reads (declined by the author), the Cancel gap in decimate, the alpha-without-mask notice, and the remaining resolved items.
The Cancel thread's premise is stale. The current decimate already calls progress::check() per chunk in base code, and decimate_parallel captures and reinstalls the probe on each worker. No action is needed on that thread.

Summary
RustGIS now reads LERC-compressed GeoTIFFs and COGs (Compression 34887), including LERC wrapped in Deflate or Zstandard, as GDAL writes them (
COMPRESS=LERC,LERC_DEFLATE,LERC_ZSTD). Before this, such a file failed withcompression method Unknown(34887) is unsupported. Examples are LINZ's 1 m elevation models and ESA's BIOMASS products, both in #1818.raster/lerc.rs: thetiffcrate has no LERC codec, so this module decodes the chunks itself, following the shape ofraster/lzw.rs:LercParameters(tag 50674) names: none, Deflate throughminiz_oxide, or Zstandard throughruzstd, both already dependencies;lerc-reader. It is pure Rust and MIT OR Apache-2.0, so the browser build gets it too, with no GDAL and no C++.GDAL_NODATAvalue, or 0 without one.geotiff::read_chunksends LERC chunks to the new module. A LERC image is read a chunk at a time instead of whole: the crate's whole-image read refuses the compression before any chunk is read.

New tests in
raster::lerc::tests: they read GDAL-written files incrates/data/tests/data/lerc/, generated bymake_lerc.pythere (GDAL 3.9.3 through rasterio, values made up, listed inATTRIBUTION.md). Every cell is checked against the formula that wrote it:lerc_f32_tiles.tiflerc_deflate_u16_3bands.tifLERC_DEFLATElerc_zstd_i16_planar_strips.tifLERC_ZSTDlerc_zstd_f64.tifLERC_ZSTDa_damaged_chunk_is_an_errorflips bytes through a file and cuts it short: no panic.After review: two more GDAL-written fixtures:
lerc_u8_rgba_alpha_mask.tif, RGBA whose alpha GDAL keeps as LERC's mask, andlerc_f32_band_masks.tif, one mask per band. There are also tests on blobs written withlerc-writerfor what GDAL never writes: integer masks, a band inheriting the mask before it, a band with every pixel valid after a masked one, a padded last strip, a blob of the wrong type, an oversized chunk and a zero-byte chunk. 15 LERC tests in all.Remote COG (the file from the issue): LINZ

No visible UI change.
