Civil Featured Image

Architecture, Engineering & Construction

Architects, engineers, and construction managers use imagery more than ever. Whether it’s for surveying sites, project visualization, or completion shots, aerial imagery is a critical part of contracting and maintaining buildings and facilities.

LizardTech’s Express Suite® line of geospatial products makes it easy to manage and view these images no matter where you are. On the job site, LizardTech’s free GeoViewer lets you consult up-to-date aerial imagery of your site with your own custom vector overlays portraying critical information. On your desktop back at the office, LizardTech’s MrSID images work with all of your applications. And when you’re out working remotely in the field, Express Server® can deliver your imagery fast, even over low-bandwidth connections.

 
 

Overview


LizardTech Benefits for AE&C Organizations

Companies such as Bergmann & Associates and Carroll Engineering are already LizardTech customers. You can take advantage of the same tools they use to:

  • Use up-to-date imagery for site surveys, in-progress shots, and completion photos
  • Convert your imagery to project-specific coordinate systems
  • Combine raster and elevation data in MrSID format for project visualization
  • Use LizardTech’s color balancing tools to create eye-pleasing combinations of imagery collected at different times
  • Serve imagery to any party that needs it: engineers, landscapers, contractors, or employees working in the field

Manipulation and Compression

Import your source imagery into GeoExpress, where you can mosaic and crop images, correct tonal imbalances, and reproject to the coordinate system you require. Use GeoExpress’ powerful manipulation tools to deliver high quality datasets to your customers and users.

Output in compressed MrSID or JPEG 2000 format directly to a file system or Express Server. Publish existing MrSID and JPEG 2000 imagery to Express Server without having to reencode.

Distribution and Viewing

Use Express Server to pull imagery from a file system or from Express Server catalogs. With an Express Suite workflow, your imagery can be viewed simultaneously in WMS and Web applications, ESRI applications and all GeoRaster-enabled applications—virtually all commonly used GIS applications.

The interoperability that is the foundation of Express Suite means the utility of your imagery is not restricted by particular formats, data sources or viewing environments. With Express Suite, your imagery just gets where it’s needed—and gets there faster.

View Geospatial Images

Use GeoViewer, LizardTech’s free, stand-alone application, for viewing geospatial imagery and vector overlays. With GeoViewer you can combine, view and export visual layers from varied sources, such as local repositories, Express Server catalogs, and WMS and JPIP servers. LizardTech GeoViewer supports a wide range of input formats and exports to GeoTIFF, PNG and JPEG. This is the most efficient means of viewing MrSID, JPEG 2000 and NITF images.
