Description

https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/CloudOptimizedGeoTIFF

Basically a GeoTIFF with tiles that can be served without a full tile server.

A good starting place could be this OpenLayers viewer by @cholmes: https://github.com/cholmes/cog-map

Could be a great code sprint project!

Research direction

Read the Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF description at the linked GDAL page, then inspect the referenced cholmes/cog-map OpenLayers viewer for the expected usage. The issue does not identify Cesium entry points, files, tests, or acceptance criteria, so first define how Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF support should work in Cesium and what demonstrable result counts as done.
