Earth Resource Mapping unveils its newest industry standard JPEG2000-ECW technologies allowing EarthOnDrive/WavGen to support lossy and lossless wavelet compression technology across 8bit-16bit-32bit as well as in unsigned and signed integer file formats. ECW (Enhanced Compression Wavelet) is a proprietary wavelet compression image format optimized for aerial and satellite imagery. It was developed by Earth Resource Mapping, and is now owned by Intergraph. The lossy compression format efficiently compresses very large images with fine alternating contrast while retaining their visual quality.
