Includes MrSID Decode, MrSID Geoinfo and MrSID Geometa tools:

• MrSID Decode: Command line utility that allows for decompression of MG2, MG3, or MG4 .sid files to .tif, GeoTiff, and other formats. Documentation and Sample commands included.
• MrSID Geoinfo: Command line utility that displays metadata information embedded in .sid, .tif, and other formats.
• MrSID Geometa: Command line utility for modifying specific types of metadata in a MrSID, such as embedding world file information, adding user metadata, etc.

The MrSID^® file format is a proprietary technology that provides tools for the rapid compression, viewing, and manipulation of geospatial raster and LiDAR data.

This free, graphical utility provides you with the ability to decode LiDAR files compressed to MrSID Generation 4 (MG4) back to LAS or ASCII formats.

System Requirements:

This command line utility resets the blocksize of an input MrSID image. A blocksize of 64 is recommended as optimal for MG3-encoded image files. Resetting the MG3 blocksize to 64 may alleviate memory problems encountered when attempting to view composite mosaic files in third-party applications.

Instructions for Use:

Once downloaded this tool can be executed from the Windows command line via the following command:

• mrsidoptimize -i "source_image" -o "output_image" -bs 64

Running this utility does not affect the quality, size, or properties of your data. The only change will be that a composite image composed of files whose blocksize has been reset will use less memory upon decoding.
