For raster images, you can create test images to test an image manipulation or compression operation without using data from the data cartridge. Test images are output images that have a visible watermark.
You can create test images from raster images and mosaics, but not LiDAR point clouds.
For example, to create a test encode of the image foo.tiff
, use this syntax:
mrsidgeoencoder -i foo.tiff -testencode -o foo.sid
You can use the test encode function in combination with any other encode settings such as mosaic, compression ratio, and cropping.
