For more than a decade, the MrSID® technology from LizardTech® has been the GIS industry’s leading solution to the problem of storage and management of large geospatial datasets. Today, as the precision of sensors increases and as new data forms such as multispectral and LiDAR become more widely available, the need for advanced compression technology such as MrSID continues to grow.

In this white paper, LizardTech introduces you to the concept of compression, MrSID technology, and the features that the MrSID format brings to your applications and workflows.
