ESG MrSID Tools for ER Mapper Overview

The ESG MrSID Tools for ER Mapper give ER Mapper users the ability to analyze and convert MrSID images to GeoTIFF and ECW formats. They are wizard interfaces that completely automate use of free command line programs provided by LizardTech. Read the User Guide (PDF) for complete details.

Note: These wizards do not allow direct read of the MrSID format within ER Mapper. You must download the command line programs yourself (they cannot be provided with the wizards due to license restrictions).

Get MrSID Image Info The Get MrSID Image Info wizard lets you generate information about all MrSID images in a directory, and also in all directories at the same level. It can create a summary log file for all MrSIDs, create a detailed metadata file for each MrSID, and show total uncompressed file size of all MrSIDs.
Create Thumbnails of MrSID Images The Create Thumbnails of MrSID Images wizard lets you generate low resolution preview (thumbnail) versions of all MrSID images in a directory, and also in all directories at the same level. A fast way to see what the images look like, build a mosaic or analyze coverage without converting them at full resolution.
Convert MrSID Images to GeoTIFF The Convert MrSID Images to GeoTIFF wizard lets you convert a single MrSID or all in a directory to GeoTIFF format. Includes automatic options to divide large MrSIDs into multiple GeoTIFF images (tiles) if needed or desired. This wizard runs via a DOS batch (.bat) for background processing so you can continue normal use of ER Mapper.
Convert MrSID Images to ECW The Convert MrSID Images to ECW wizard lets you convert a single MrSID or all in a directory to ECW format. TIFF is used as an intermediate image format before converting to ECW, and TIFF files are automatically deleted during processing when no longer needed. This wizard runs via a DOS batch (.bat) for background processing so you can continue normal use of ER Mapper.
