ANNOUNCEMENT
LizardTech Introduces Enhanced GeoExpress
—
LizardTech®, the creator of MrSID® and provider of software
solutions for managing and distributing geospatial content,
today announced the release of GeoExpress 9.5.1. The
company’s flagship product for compressing geospatial images
and lidar data into high-quality MrSID files now boasts a
streamlined interface, faster processing and support for .pix
raster files.
GeoExpress 9.5.1 features include; Intuitive User Interface
(UI)--An updated look and streamlined interface make this
version more user friendly while delivering top quality
compressed and manipulated images; seamless mosaicking
of lidar files—seamless mosaicking of lidar files supplements
lossless compression that uses four times less storage space,
faster default workflow for existing MrSID images—processing
of MrSID files is now faster by default when working with
existing MrSID files, with cropping, editing, despeckling,
AOI, tiling and more and new Format Support – Compression
of PCIs standard .pix raster files to MrSID means greater
flexibility.

Equipped with a water-penetrating
green channel and two infrared channels, the Titan maps
both land and shallow coastal waters efficiently in the same
flight. In addition, the Titan’s three separate wavelengths
enable automated target classification, helping surveyors
differentiate trees, soil, grass and more.
Harbor managers and port authorities looking for a low-
cost survey solution will be interested in the integrated lidar/
sonar solution developed with our sister company Teledyne
RESON. By combining a long-range
terrestrial
lidar scanner with a RESON SeaBat multibeam echosounder
on a light watercraft, this solution lets surveyors map above
and below the waterline simultaneously and view the data
immediately in Teledyne PDS software.

A long-time standard in underground mining, CMS is
popular for precisely measuring ore passes, raises, storage bins
and other dangerous areas in 3D without putting the operator
at risk. The CMS V500 expands into new applications with an
integrated camera, making it perfect for inspection and target
identification too. Visitors saw the CMS V500’s completely
wireless design, which improves resilience in underground
conditions, and learned how its new integrated georeferencing
software enables the immediate production of data aligned to
the mine’s coordinate system.
