Adding support for MrSid and other raster data formats in GeoServer

Adding support for MrSid and other raster data formats in GeoServer

Posted in GeoServer by galipaydin on August 1, 2010

I recently obtained a MrSid encoded satellite image for part of Elazig region and wanted to add this as a layer on GeoServer. However the original GeoServer installation does not have the capability to process and show MrSid image format. So I did a bit of googling and found out that I had to install gdal libraries.

First grab a copy of the imageio-ext binary package from here imageio-ext and install it.

Create the GDAL_DATA environment variable; in my case the GDAL_DATA points to C:\Program Files\imageio-ext\gdaldata

then restart the geoserver and go to Stores-> Add New Store, and you should see the new Raster data formats added to the list.
