Products
LizardTech's Express Suite line of geospatial products combines image manipulation and compression tools with solutions for raster image storage and distribution in standard geospatial formats. The Express Suite products – GeoExpress, Spatial Express and Express Server – were designed to work together and interoperate with many geospatial applications and protocols. LiDAR Compressor is a geospatial application but is not part of the Express Suite line.
- GeoExpress
LizardTech's flagship software product is GeoExpress, which originally leveraged the MrSID technology and now also supports the ISO standard JPEG 2000 technology. GeoExpress is used by government agencies, utilities, mapping data providers, state and local municipalities and similar organizations for manipulating and compressing geospatial imagery. - Spatial Express
With the introduction of Spatial Express, LizardTech made it possible to store MrSID and JPEG 2000 images natively in an Oracle Spatial database, not only reducing the storage requirements for geospatial imagery but also making raster data available to users of mapping and other GIS applications in the same way as vector data. The functionality of Spatial Express is accessible through Oracle's GeoRaster API. - Express Server
LizardTech Express Server, an add-on application for Web servers, was introduced to quickly and efficiently distribute massive datasets of raster imagery in MrSID and JPEG 2000 formats. Express Server can be configured to distribute imagery via open standards such as the OGC's Web Map Service (WMS) protocols; via plug-ins for proprietary applications such as ArcIMS; or via a Web interface for use with standard browsers or customized viewing applications. Express Server was designed to deliver user-defined image data catalogs to any device over any connection. - LiDAR Compressor
LizardTech LiDAR Compressor was released in 2009 to enable users of elevation data to turn point clouds, which can be very large, into MrSID files that retain 100 percent of the quantized raw data at just 25 percent of the file size through lossless compression. The product achieves reduction of LiDAR file sizes by 90 percent or more through lossy compression, in which a higher compression ratio is used to reduce point accuracy and reach a desired file size. LiDAR files compressed to MrSID can be used as resources from which subsequent derivatives can be extracted.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“The reality is that zero defects in products plus zero pollution plus zero risk on the job is equivalent to maximum growth of government plus zero economic growth plus runaway inflation.”
—Dixie Lee Ray (b. 1924)
“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
