This brand new product enables users to turngiant point cloud data into efficient MrSID files that retain 100 percent of theraw data at just 25 percent of the file size. Unlike raw LAS or ASCII data,LiDAR files compressed to MrSID are easily managed resources from whichderivatives can be extracted over and over again. One of the key features of LiDAR Compressor is its ability to reduce LiDAR filesizes by 75 percent while retaining all of the points and all of the pointprecision and accuracy of the original file. If users need even smaller files,LiDAR Compressor can reduce LiDAR file sizes by 90 percent with no perceptibleloss. With the release of LiDAR Compressor, LizardTech also unveils a new and improvedversion of the MrSID format called MrSID Generation 4 (MG4). It is still thesame MrSID format users have known for years, offering the highest quality withthe most advanced compression technology available, but now with MG4 MrSID filessupport the compression of LiDAR data, which will allow users to view and accesstheir LiDAR data faster.

Plus, since it comes with animproved MrSID Generation 4 file format, it allows LiDAR data to be viewed andaccessed much faster than before.” LizardTech LiDAR Compressor is available for purchase now directly fromLizardTech`s website or by contacting one of LizardTech`s sales representatives.About LizardTechSince 1992, LizardTech has delivered state-of-the-art software products formanaging and distributing massive, high-resolution digital content such asgeospatial image data.
