LizardTech, a division of Celartem, Inc., and a leading provider of software solutions for managing and distributing digital content, announced the release of the ArcMap Plug-in for Spatial Express, an add-on to ESRI’s ArcMap application. LizardTech’s Spatial Express enables storage of MrSID and JPEG 2000 images natively in Oracle® Spatial 10g, an option to Oracle Database Enterprise Edition.
Until now, LizardTech’s customers, who widely used ArcMap, were not able to add raster imagery stored with Spatial Express in an Oracle Spatial database to ArcMap projects because ArcMap did not support Oracle’s GeoRaster methodology. However, with the release of the ArcMap Plug-in for Spatial Express, customers can now use their non-GeoRaster applications with Spatial Express.
Since Spatial Express adds the capability to store MrSID and JPEG 2000 imagery natively in Oracle Spatial, customers can use the applications with which they are most familiar while saving 95 percent of the storage space required for their imagery on their database and preserving the ability to easily query by coordinates and other spatial criteria.
“LizardTech’s goal is to build tools that allow customers to use their applications of choice with Spatial Express,” said Jon Skiffington, LizardTech product manager. “Many of our customers use ArcMap, but were not able to use it with Spatial Express. Now our customers can easily work with imagery stored using Spatial Express in their ArcMap projects.”
Spatial Express customers can download the free ArcMap Plug-in for Spatial Express now from LizardTech’s new Spatial Express web page: http://www.lizardtech.com/products/spatial/ This page also provides access to the latest updates and other key product information.
LizardTech is exhibiting this week at the GEOINT 2006 Symposium in Orlando, FL. Stop by booth #941 where information will be available about LizardTech’s complete line of geospatial products.
About Spatial Express
LizardTech Spatial Express enables storage of MrSID® and JPEG 2000 images natively in Oracle Spatial. Spatial Express helps organizations maximize their investment in Oracle Spatial 10g by enabling dramatic reductions of up to 95 percent for raster image storage. Spatial Express also enables organizations to lower costs and keep all raster, vector, and business information in a common Oracle Database. Further, because LizardTech's Spatial Express uses Oracle GeoRaster interface, MrSID® and JPEG 2000 images can be viewed in any GeoRaster-enabled application, easing training, deployment, and support costs.
