MrSID for iXSurvey

iXSurvey has recently purchased LizardTech’s GeoExpress software. The company acquires hydrographic and geophysical data which is crucial for both offshore and coastal engineering projects. GeoExpress is now being used to convert their raster images to MrSID, an industry-standard compression format and one that is natively read by nearly all geo-based software.

LizardTech has recently released the latest version of their image compression and preparation software; GeoExpress 8. This new product introduces a new version of the MrSID format; MG4 which allows users to compress a huge range of raster formats to the industry standard compression format and to compress Lidar data clouds.

Rhys Davies a hydrographic surveyor with iXSurveys commented that “The GeoExpress software is working extremely well for us and I am very pleased with the results we have produced so far. The mosaicing of images is so straightforward and the compression is incredible. I wish some of the other software out there was as simple to use. ”
