ERDAS IMAGINE

Create Information From Imagery

ERDAS IMAGINE, the world’s leading geospatial data authoring system, incorporates geospatial image processing and analysis, remote sensing and GIS capabilities into a powerful, convenient package.  It enables you to easily create value-added products such as 2D images, orthophoto mosaics, landcover classification, 3D flythrough movies, vectors derived from imagery, and cartographic-quality map compositions from geospatial data.

ERDAS IMAGINE is available in three product tiers to scale with your geospatial data production needs.

  • IMAGINE Essentials is the entry-level image processing product for map creation and simple feature collection tools. IMAGINE Essentials enables serial batch processing.
  • IMAGINE Advantage includes all the capabilities of IMAGINE Essentials. In addition, it provides advanced spectral processing, image registration, mosaicking and image analysis, and change detection capabilities. IMAGINE Advantage enables parallel batch processing for accelerated output.
  • IMAGINE Professional includes all the capabilities of IMAGINE Advantage. In addition, it provides a production toolset for advanced spectral, hyperspectral, and radar processing, as well as spatial modeling. Includes ERDAS ER Mapper.

Intergraph also offers a selection of add-ons to expand the core functionality of ERDAS IMAGINE.

  • Flood
    Flood
    This shows high resolution imagery draped over a LiDAR DEM. You can interactively change the water elevation to see where roads and other infrastructure might be impacted during a flood event.
  • Intervisibility
    Intervisibility
    Here we have a linked 2D and 3D view of intervisibility along a highway. In the 3D view, the corridor shows green as visible from the road and red as hidden from view.
  • Landcover
    Landcover
    Here we show a high resolution CIR image where a corridor along a proposed highway has been classified to show the various land use classes that will be impacted by the new construction.
  • Camera Placement
    Camera Placement
    Here we show a freeway intersection with a camera placement and we can see the camera's Field of View (FOV). We can use this to dynamically model the placement of cameras.
  • Google Earth Integration
    Google Earth Integration
    Connect and synchronize the ERDAS IMAGINE Viewer with Google Earth
  • Microsoft Bing Maps in ERDAS IMAGINE
    Microsoft Bing Maps in ERDAS IMAGINE
    Use Microsoft Bing Maps as a base map or for geocoding in ERDAS IMAGINE
  • Measure heights of features in monoscopic imagery
    Measure heights of features in monoscopic imagery
    Even if you don’t have stereo imagery you can still measure height information of vertical features from sensor layover effects on a single image and even store the measurements as attributes on GIS features
  • Greater Integration in ERDAS IMAGINE 2013
    Greater Integration in ERDAS IMAGINE 2013
    The 2013 release of ERDAS IMAGINE provides you with greater raster and vector integration, helping to optimize your workflow performance.
  • Spatial Modeler

    Generate on the fly results of your geospatial analysis
  • Map Report Dynamic Elements
    Map Report Dynamic Elements
    Pull dynamic annotation elements directly from imagery headers or geographic context, such as image acquisition data, ownership information, geographic location, etc.
  • Multiple spatially-linked viewing environment
    Multiple spatially-linked viewing environment
    ERDAS IMAGINE enables layering of multiple datasets and data types in multiple views with geospatial linking between each layer.
  • Spatial Modeling
    Spatial Modeling
    GeoMedia vector operators are available in the new spatial modeler analysis on GeoMedia warehouses or Shapefiles.
  • Discriminant Function Change used to identify new construction along corridor

    Panchromatic and 8-band multispectral WorldView-2 imagery is shown pan sharpened in the right-hand View
  • Create and re-use standardized report layouts
    Create and re-use standardized report layouts
    Access map report layouts through the Ribbon gallery chooser, drop in your latest imagery and data, add additional annotation elements such as Inset Views to call attention to specific details and quickly finalize your presentation.
  • Contours from the Terrain Preparation Tool
    Contours from the Terrain Preparation Tool
    Create vector contour information at user-defined intervals from various sources of terrain information including LIDAR, point clouds and raster DEMs
  • Map Reports to Microsoft PowerPoint
    Map Reports to Microsoft PowerPoint
    Rapidly annotate over imagery using templates and send the Map Report directly to Microsoft PowerPoint
