Leica Geosystems Introduces ViewFinderŽ V2.1, the Latest
Version of its Imagery Viewing and Manipulation Tool
www.gis.leica-geosystems.com
Atlanta, Georgia, USA - Leica Geosystems announces the release of ViewFinderŽ V2.1, a
free viewing tool that provides the ability to: display image files; spatially query image files prior
to exporting; overlay, smooth, sharpen and enhance imagery; and reproject multiple images
on-the-fly; rapidly navigate large imagery data sets; and move imagery from its existing
projection system to one of many predefined output datums and projections, creating files in
either the IMG or TIFF formats.
ViewFinder 2.1 supports Windows platforms and is available for download at
www.erdas.com/login/main.asp.
Loaded with the same functionality as ViewFinder V1.1, the previously released version that
provided basic image viewing and manipulation capabilities, the latest ViewFinder release has
the following new and enhanced features:
Improved initial display speed.
Added Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) coordinate display in the Inquire
Cursor dialog.
Added Brightness and Contrast thumbwheels for quick and easy image enhancement.
Ability to copy the contents of the Main View to the Windows clipboard. Data is then
easily available for pasting into any application that uses the clipboard.
Display of image information such as the number of rows, columns and bands, layer
statistics, projection parameters, etc. Provision is also made for building image
statistics and pyramid layers.
Extended library of U.S. and international projection systems for transformations.
Extended range of raster formats are supported, including JPEG (JFIF), ERMapper
.ers and generic binary BIL, BIP and BSQ formats.
Filtering of files on all raster formats to see all supported images in a directory.
Ability to swap quickly between non-stretched and 2 Standard Deviation modes of
displaying the images.
Easily display separate files as a multi-band True Color image. Some data providers
deliver multispectral images as separate files (one band per file). You can now open
one of these bands as a True Color image and then use the Band Combinations dialog
to add in other bands to the color guns.
ViewFinder 2.1 is ideal for GIS professionals, casual users, data vendors and for those who
need to convert imagery from an IMG to a TIFF or GeoTIFF file.
