About MRSID

Overview

MrSID (Multi-resolution Seamless Image Database) is a proprietary compression format designed for storing massive raster images, such as aerial photography, satellite imagery, and digitized maps. Developed by LizardTech, it allows terabyte-sized images to be compressed into manageable file sizes while enabling instant viewing at any zoom level.

Technical Details

MrSID uses wavelet compression technology (Discrete Wavelet Transform). Unlike JPEG which divides images into independent blocks, wavelet compression treats the image as a continuous signal. This allows MrSID files to store multiple resolutions of the image within a single file structure.

History

Developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in the early 90s to handle the enormous data storage needs of the FBI and government archives. It was commercialized by LizardTech. It became a de-facto standard in the GIS industry.
