The system was built into a desk and was configured with one color monitor (256 x 256 resolution), one B&W monitor, two 8" floppy drives (one for software and one for data). The first version of ERDAS was launched in 1978 on Cromemco microcomputers based on the 8-bit Z80 CPU running the CDOS operating system. These applications exist today within the ERDAS IMAGINE Suite which has grown to support most satellites, airborne mapping cameras and digital sensors used for mapping. developed various different products to process satellite imagery from AVHRR, Landsat MSS, Landsat TM and SPOT imagery into land cover / land use maps, map deforestation, and assist in locating oil reserves. Prior to the ERDAS IMAGINE Suite, ERDAS, Inc.
1.6 ERDAS IMAGINE Softcopy Photogrammetry.
Other usage examples include linear feature extraction, generation of processing chains ("spatial models" in ERDAS IMAGINE), import/export of data for a wide variety of formats, ortho-rectification, mosaicing of imagery, stereo and automatic feature extraction of map data from imagery. The level of brightness, or reflectance of light from the surfaces in the image can be helpful with vegetation analysis, prospecting for minerals etc. It is a toolbox allowing the user to perform numerous operations on an image and generate an answer to specific geographical questions.īy manipulating data placement in imagery it is possible to see features that would not normally be visible. It is aimed primarily at geospatial raster data processing and allows the user to prepare, display and enhance digital images for use in GIS or in CAD software.
