Creating a Test Encode

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 images and mosaics as test images, but not LiDAR point clouds.

As an example, in order to create a test encode of the image foo.tiff, you would use the following 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, cropping, etc.
