Administrators EmperoR Posted September 30, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 From gpsworld, great news for ArcGIS Server User i quote it for you : ERDAS announces the release of ECW for ArcGIS Server, version 11.0.2. This product provides a means for ArcGIS Server to deliver data in the ERDAS-patented Enhanced Compression Wavelet (ECW) format to clients via OGC-compliant Web Coverage Service (WCS) and Web Map Service (WMS). ERDAS reports that based on technology originally provided in ERDAS ECW/JP2 SDK version 4.2, ECW for ArcGIS Server enables ArcGIS Server to support ECW imagery, providing the fastest decompression available. Using minimal memory, ECW can quickly decompress and open massive files, in many cases faster than uncompressed imagery can be opened. Additionally, multi-resolution level of detail is built into the file, eliminating the need to generate or distribute pyramids or overviews. The ECW technique does not require the creation and storage of intermediate tiles (RRDs), as they are an inherent part of the ECW format. ECW also supports opacity channels, allowing images to overlay other imagery cleanly without showing compression artifacts around the edges. for detail news, please see [hide] http://www.gpsworld.com/gis/earth-imaging-and-remote-sensing/news/erdas-releases-ecw-arcgis-server-version-1102-12111 [/hide] enjoy :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasfans01 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 yes, I just recently know that we can use ECW freely at arcgis desktop, but not with the arcgis server, we need that plugins in order to display ECW files to our webmap application, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
