‑input / ‑i | Identifies the input source file. It can be a full path name, or a path that is relative to the current working directory. Example: ‑i foo.las |
‑inputformat / ‑if |
Identifies the input file format. Accepted formats are:
|
‑mosaic / ‑mos | Identifies the input file as a mosaic list. The file must have a .list extension. See below for more information. |
‑output / ‑o | Identifies the name of the file that GeoExpress creates. It can be a full path, or a path that is relative to the current working directory. Example: ‑o myfile.sid |
‑outputformat / ‑of |
Identifies the desired output format of the file that is to be encoded. Accepted formats are:
The default output format is MrSID Generation 4. |
The following command creates a MrSID file from a LAS file:
mrsidgeoencoder -i in.las -o out.sid
To create point cloud mosaics in GeoExpress, create a text file that lists the point clouds that you want to mosaic. The file must have a .list
extension. The point clouds that you want to mosaic must be georeferenced, and the resulting mosaic can only be saved to the MrSID Generation 4 (MG4) format.
For example, to create a mosaic of four LAS files, you might create the following file:
cloud_nw.las
cloud_ne.las
cloud_sw.las
cloud_se.las
The following command uses the file to create a mosaic:
mrsidgeoencoder -i mosaic.list -mos -o mosaic.sid
LiDAR mosaics are different from raster mosaics. You cannot create composite LiDAR mosaics, and LiDAR mosaic files must have a .list
extension, not .mos
