What Benefits Do These New Features Bring to
Your Application?
User and Developer Experience Improvements
Customize LuciadFusion to Your Own Environment
The products in the Luciad portfolio have always been geared towards integration. Our goal is to let you define the best
architecture and technology for your system and deliver a solution that fits right in. This is in stark contrast with other
solutions on the market that encourage the users to give in to the workflows and capabilities of the solution, and even
reconsider business processes to better match the software.
In this release, the integration possibilities of LuciadFusion platform and the customization possibilities of LuciadFusion
studio are taken to a new level again.
Apply Your Own Corporate Branding
LuciadFusion Studio can now be easily adapted to your corporate branding, thus ensuring immediate recognition of your
organization. You can add your (customer) company logo. Colors, fonts, button styles and images can also be configured.
As a developer, you can configure LuciadFusion Studio to check for changes to the look and feel configuration regularly.
This means that changes to the look and feel can be conveniently reconfigured while the server is running. They will be
automatically reflected after reloading the LuciadFusion Studio application.
Use Your Preferred Database for the Metadata Catalog
LuciadFusion now supports a whole range of production databases for storing the metadata catalog. For development
and small-scale testing, an H2 database is used by default.
This extended list of supported production databases ensures that the platform will seamlessly integrate with the
existing infrastructure at your or your customer’s site.
LuciadFusion now offers the choice for:
• Oracle,
• PostgreSQL
• Microsoft SQL Server
A set of samples is available to get LuciadFusion administrators started with setting up the production server.
Manage and Publish Elevation Data in a Few Clicks
As a user of LuciadFusion Studio, you may already be familiar with one-minute data management. With support for
imagery, vector data, point clouds and meshes, we now also include elevation data.

Elevation datasets typically are delivered as a set of many files and tiles. The LuciadFusion Data Connectivity Manager
can consolidate these elements into a single dataset. With this V2019.0 release, the LuciadFusion Studio user can
now automatically prepare elevation datasets without the need for this extra tool. Elevation data can be discovered
and organized into products using LuciadFusion Studio. Once the data is ready for publication, a tiling process will
automatically launch to optimize the data for streaming using the LTS (Luciad Tile Service) protocol.
This protocol is optimized for elevation data. All client solutions from the Luciad portfolio support the LTS protocol in
their Essential tier. Thanks to the LTS protocol, users can access the data subset most suitable for their current map
location and scale, thereby reducing the amount of data that needs to be loaded. Web services can easily cache tiles for
high-performance tile retrieval and serving, which results in a better user experience.
The result of the data processing is a LuciadFusion coverage, a high-performance file-based format designed for tiled
data storage and access. This storage format has been used successfully for raster and grid coverages and has been
proven to accelerate tile retrieval considerably.
Of course, you can continue to use the elevation coverages that you have created in the past with the DCM. These are
automatically detected by LuciadFusion and can be served on-the-fly.

Documentation Improvement
In our continuous efforts to help you get the most out of LuciadFusion we have added structure to the product
documentation to:
• Increase accessibility of information
• Reduce the time spent scouring developer guides for that tiny hint of code
We now provide navigation from a new documentation portal with functional, task-oriented organization; it allows you to
find the documentation you need for your level of expertise, your time constraints, and the task at hand.

Other Improvements
Detect Removed Files During a Recrawl
When a dataset is crawled on a regular basis, you can now define the behavior in case files that have been deleted since
the last recrawl. Either you can keep the metadata for these files, or you can remove their reference from the repository.
The job configuration page has been updated to reflect this possibility.
Remove Uploaded Data and Styles
The LuciadFusion Studio UI has been extended to consistently offer the possibility to remove uploaded data and styles.

Improved OGC SLD Raster Normalization Support
LuciadFusion V2018.1 introduced support for the OGC SLD raster normalization operation, allowing users to stretch the
colors of raster data to a given minimum and maximum interval. Version 2019.0 extends this capability by automatically
defining the normalization interval. It is no longer required that you provide this normalization interval up front. This value
is now automatically calculated using histogram analysis. A common use case for this capability is the normalization of a
High Dynamic Range (HDR) image in which all values are contained in a limited dynamic range.
