  • Understanding Compression of Geospatial Raster Imagery
    Understanding Compression of Geospatial Raster Imagery Document Overview This document was created for the North Carolina Geographic Information and Coordinating Council (GICC), http://ncgicc.com, by the GIS Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). Its purpose is to serve as a best practice or guidance document for GIS professionals that are compressing raster images. This document only addresses compressing geospatial raster data and specifically aerial or orthorectified imagery. It does not address compressing LiDAR data. Compression Overview Compression is the process of making data more compact so it occupies less disk storage space. The primary benefit of compressing raster data is reduction in file size. An added benefit is greatly improved performance over a network, because the user is transferring less data from a server to an application; however, compressed data must be decompressed to display in GIS software. The result may be slower raster display in GIS software than data that is not compressed. Compressed data can also increase CPU requirements on the server or desktop. Glossary of Common Terms Raster is a spatial data model made of rows and columns of cells. Each cell contains an attribute value identifying its color and location coordinate. Geospatial raster data like satellite images and aerial photographs are typically larger on average than vector data (predominately points, lines, or polygons). Compression is the process of making a (raster) file smaller while preserving all or most of the data it contains. Imagery compression enables storage of more data (image files) on a disk than if they were uncompressed. Compression ratio is the amount or degree of reduction of an image's file size.

    freeware irfanview windows 10 latest version download Freeware irfanview windows 10 latest version download. Advantages of IrfanView 64-bit over 32-bit version: It can load VERY large files/images (image RAM size over 1.3 GB, for special users) Faster for very large images (25+ Megapixels, loading or image operations) Runs 'only' on a 64-bit Windows (Vista, Win7, Win8, Win10) Advantages of IrfanView 32-bit over 64-bit version: Runs on a 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Loads all files/images for normal needs (max. RAM size is about 1.3 GB) Needs less disc space All PlugIns will work: not all PlugIns are ported (yet) to 64-bit (like OCR) and some 32-bit PlugIns must be still used in the 64-bit version, some with limitations (see the "Plugins32" folder) Some old 32-bit PlugIns (like RIOT and Adobe 8BF PlugIn) work only in compatilibilty mode in IrfanView-64 ( only 32-bit 8BF files/effects can be used ) Command line options for scanning (/scan etc.) work only in 32-bit (because no 64-bit TWAIN drivers ) Notes: You can install both versions on the same system, just use different folders . For example: install the 32-bit version in your "Program Files (x86)" folder and the 64-bit version in your "Program Files" folder (install 32-bit PlugIns to IrfanView-32 and 64-bit PlugIns to IrfanView-64, DO NOT mix the PlugIns and IrfanView bit versions) The program name and icon have some extra text in the 64-bit version for better distinguishing.

  • Mrsid: a Modern Geospatial Image Format
    MrSID: A Modern Geospatial Image Format Over the past few years, the size and variety of geospatial data has increased at an astonishing pace. Multispectral imagery and LiDAR data are now being collected with better accuracy than ever before. Through it all, the LizardTech® MrSID® format has evolved to anticipate the needs of the GIS industry. Now in its fourth generation, the MrSID format has become the most advanced compressed image format on the market, with support for multispectral imagery, alpha bands, and even LiDAR point clouds. In this white paper, LizardTech introduces you to the concept of compression, to the MrSID technology, and to the features that the MrSID format can bring to your applications and workflows.
