ERDAS Imagine is a complete image processing software package which focuses
on satellite image processing (including Landsat TM, MSS, AVHRR, SPOT (a French
satellite) and RADAR imagery) and geo-applications.
Imagine Professional Available in the Visualization Portal and Modeling Lab
Imagine Professional 8.7 is available:
- For presentations: on the SGI platforms in the Visualization Portal
- For work: on a windows machines in
the Modeling Lab.
All copies have the optional Vector and Virtual GIS modules.
Imagine Professional Key Features
Core System
- Image input: Imagine can read various kinds of image formats.
- Imagine can display ArcInfo coverage and ArcView shapefile directly.
- Geo-correction: register an image to a georeferenced map or another image.
- Orthocorrection: register air photos (taken at an angle) to ortho photos.
- The Imagine mosaicking tool mosaicks a number of individual images into a
single image.
- Imagine includes various image processing filters and transformations for image enhancement.
- Imagine can
derive topographically-related information (e.g. slope, aspect, shaded relief, and
contours) from surface data.
- It's proximity spatial analyses allows you to derive region-based
statistical measurements.
- Multiresolution image merge merges together images of different
resolutions.
- Imagine's advanced image classification classifies the image according to landuse, landcover, temperature
etc.
- RADAR image analysis: speckle suppression and feature
enhancement.
- Modeling language: graphical flow charts and EML scripts.
Vector Module
This module inputs and exports various kinds of vector
data.
Virtual GIS Module
This module allows you to build a surface model, including man made
features such as buildings. The Virtual GIS Module can perform the
following actions on GIS models:
- Virtual Reality
fly-through under user control or on a set path.
- In mono or in stereo.
- With data query on demand
- The result of flying on a set path can be output as a movie.
