Why does a mosaic of an area of 800km2 with the information of only 5 bands 10m resolution occupy 17.8GB, ten times more than one original image?? Shouldn’t be smaller??
We also found that the memory needed for a mask of an area of 200km2 with 5 bands was bigger than the original image (2.24 GB vs 1.5 GB). Why??
Why do the products when using Sentinel 2 images occupy more than the original images if the area and the information they contain are much smaller?? We have problems with the space in our computer and need to optimize all the products.
could it be that this is caused by data type and data format?
If the output is GeoTiff file size increases drastically. Sentinel-2 is originally compressed as Integer JPEG2000.
If you convert it to float GeoTiff the increase in file size would make sense.
