GeoExpress 4.1 now supports JPEG 2000
New Orleans, LA – October 12, 2004 – LizardTech, Inc., a leader in software solutions that make it significantly easier to manage, distribute and access digital content such as aerial photography, satellite imagery and scanned color documents, today announced the unveiling of GeoExpress 4.1 with MrSID at GEOINT 2004 Symposium in New Orleans, Oct. 12-14, which now supports encoding to JPEG 2000.
In addition to support for MrSID GeoExpress 4.1 includes easy to use image profiles that simplify the creation of JPEG 2000 imagery in U. S. Department of Defense standards such as NPJE and EPJE formats. Available now, GeoExpress 4.1 is the first commercial JPEG 2000 application geared specifically towards large geospatial imaging implementations.
“The addition of JPEG 2000 demonstrates LizardTech’s continued commitment to advanced wavelet imaging technologies and provides specific tools to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s JPEG 2000 initiatives,” said Karen Morley, Vice President of Global Marketing.
In addition to unveiling GeoExpress 4.1, LizardTech will also participate in the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Interoperability Demonstration both in the OGC booth and in LizardTech’s booth number 18.
LizardTech will demonstrate how easily the company’s geospatial products work with common standards like WMS to connect data and technologies through web services for the delivery of MrSID and JPEG 2000 imagery across the hall or around the world. This live demonstration will include both MrSID and JPEG 2000.
