WCS Rendering formats support #195

Closed pomadchin closed 3 years ago

At this point WCS GetCoverage can return data only as a tiff. It would be nice to have some rendering options support.

@pomadchin I'm not sure if I understand this issue. Could you please clarify ?

In my understanding WCS is supposed to return a rasters in format cell values can be used for further processing. Tiff being the most common format. For rendering WMS is the intended protocol, it has support for selecting rendering style and image encoding (PNG, JPG, etc).

Now given that we're planning on adding RGB composite MAML operation we may end up in some kind of weird middle ground where one could define a layer to be served by WCS where each pixel is an Int that actually encodes an RGB value. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, just going to happen at this point.

@echeipesh WCS also supports specification of the output mime type (i.e. image/png instead of a tiff): https://github.com/geotrellis/geotrellis-server/blob/develop/ogc/src/main/scala/geotrellis/server/ogc/wcs/CapabilitiesView.scala#L207

Ah, so we can add JPG as supported format
