Developers can add support for MG4 files created with LizardTechs GeoExpress Version 9.5.3
Seattle, Wash. February 23, 2017 LizardTech, a division of Celartem Inc. and a leading provider of software solutions for image asset handling, announced the release of the MrSID Generation 4 Decode SDK Version 9.5.4 to compliment the release of LizardTechs GeoExpress Version 9.5.3. This latest SDK release includes support to view MrSID compressed Harris Geiger-Mode LIDAR point clouds, paralleling previously incorporated tools for viewing MrSID compressed LAS and LAZ point clouds.
LizardTech continues to enhance LiDAR and raster compression capacity across its image asset handling platform for image compression, management, distribution, integration and deployment. This includes updating compilers, refreshing target computing platforms and improving compression performance.
Trusted as a raster format by geospatial professionals since 1992 and supported in a broad spectrum of GIS and CAD applications, MrSID is the highest quality file format with the most advanced compression technology available. A no cost download of the MrSID Generation 4 Decode SDK is available at http://developer.lizardtech.com, and enables application developers to add support for viewing and decoding multiple image files and most recently Geiger-mode, LAS and LAZ point clouds compressed into MrSID.
