[TCMUG] open source image compression expert

[Brian Fischer]

Brian,
These tools work pretty good.  http://www.cs.unc.edu/~isenburg/lastools/  I would say Martin Isenburg is leading this area.  We're considering using his tools in the Red River Basin app.

Right now we have had good luck compressing the LiDAR with 7-zip.  That is what this app does on the zip and ship process.  http://gis.rrbdin.org/lidardownload/index.html

I know a lot about lidar, and a bit about compressing lidar data.  There isn't too much in the open source image compression arena.  What were you looking for?
