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!
Contributor guide
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.
