GeoViewer supports a broad range of file formats, including the industry standard MrSID format and the ISO standard JPEG 2000 format. IMPORTANT Extensis has discontinued development for this incarnation of GeoViewer. Because of this, we are making the GeoViewer Pro upgrade available to all users at no charge. GeoViewer Pro has no additional system requirements but offers additional features. For upgrade instructions, see Upgrading to GeoViewer Pro on page 8. Here are some of the tasks that you can perform in GeoViewer: n Display multispectral imagery and select the image bands that you want to display. n View image metadata, including projection information. n Display an OpenStreetMap layer as a base map. n Browse and display imagery from a WMS server that you specify. n Change the map’s projection to view images in their native projection, in WGS 84, or in Web Mercator. n Display LiDAR point clouds in 3-D. n Create bookmarks for frequently accessed locations. n Measure distances. n Export images or portions of images. n Use dynamic range controls to improve the way that images are displayed. n GeoViewer Pro: Print images or portions of images that you specify. n GeoViewer Pro: Create image tiles when you export images. n GeoViewer Pro: Change the map’s projection to additional supported projections. n GeoViewer Pro: Display the area of shapes that you draw on the map. About this document The GeoViewer User Manual is written for geographic information system (GIS) professionals that want to view geospatial imagery, including raster imagery, WMS imagery, vector imagery, LiDAR imagery, and more. This guide assumes that you have basic knowledge of GIS, including knowledge of projection systems. This guide describes how to install and use GeoViewer. - 5 - New features GeoViewer 9.0 includes the following new features and enhancements: n Printing (available with the GeoViewer Pro upgrade*) Print one or more images that you add to the map. When you print images, you can print the visible area, print custom areas, or print the full extents of all layers on the map. You can print at native resolution or automatically fit images on the number of pages that you specify (for example, specify to fit images in an area two pages wide and two pages high). n Bookmarks Create bookmarks to save areas of interest that you access frequently. You can edit, delete, and export bookmark areas. With GeoViewer Pro, you can also print bookmark areas. n Changing the Map’s Projection Reproject images to another projection that you specify. By default, you can display images in their native projection, in WGS 84, and in Web Mercator. With GeoViewer Pro, you can reproject images to additional supported projections. n OpenStreetMap Support Display an OpenStreetMap layer as a base map. The OpenStreetMap layer is excluded from export jobs and print jobs. n Dynamic Range Stretching GeoViewer automatically uses dynamic range stretching to improve the appearance of a 16-bit raster. You can change dynamic range stretching for a specific layer or for all layers. n Area Measurement (available with the GeoViewer Pro upgrade*) Display the area of shapes that you draw on the map. n Location Search Search for geographic coordinates. n JPIP Improvements When you access JPIP imagery, GeoViewer reads projection information from the JPIP server to display imagery in the correct location. Additionally, if you access the JPIP component of an Express Server, you can browse a list of the imagery available on the server. n Tiled Image Export (available with the GeoViewer Pro upgrade*) When you export imagery from GeoViewer, you can select tiling options. You may want to create image tiles when you export very large images. n Expanded File Format Support You can now view 16-bit images and images in the CADRG and PNG file formats. n Auxiliary File Support GeoViewer now reads projection information from auxiliary files in the aux.xml format automatically. The projection information from aux.xml files takes precedence over image metadata and over world files as well. * See Upgrading to GeoViewer Pro on page 8. - 6 - System requirements Before you install GeoViewer, verify that your system meets the minimum system requirements.

  • 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.

Choosing the proper image file format according to the demand of the project or according to a specific parameter is of vital importance. Therefore, in this paper we provide a brief review on most common and different image file formats in order to ease the user to choose appropriate file formats while working with files.

(3 Feb 2007) In linux (ubuntu) .8 crashes when I try to refresh after setting the projection for the two layers. (4 Feb 2007) Michael Hamel Overview A common GIS development task is the need to digitize data off of a paper map. There are two main ways to do this: 1. Digitize using a digitizing tablet. 2. On-screen digitizing from a background (scanned) image of the map. This document describes part of the process for on-screen (#2) digitizing: Getting a background image georeferenced so that you can do online digitizing using it, or simply use it as another GIS (raster) layer. 1. First, you must identify the map you want to digitize and check it for metadata. 1. Check for georeferencing coordinates (are there long/lat lines on the map? UTM coordinates? What kind of datum/map projection is it in?) (See Appendix A for an example from a USGS topomap).

  • System: Direct Use of Geodata Files
    System Direct Use of Geodata Files The TNT products can directly select and use geodata files in the wide variety of formats listed below. The name of any geodata file in a format that is listed here for direct use will automatically appear in the standard Select Objects window along with any TNT Project File names. If the name of a file does not appear in this list it is not in a format that can be directly used and must first be imported into a raster or geometric object in a Project File and perhaps subsequently georeferenced. Double-clicking on the name of any TNT supported geodata file can also be used to open it in a new 2D Display group.
