"In early 1979 a group of the multi-disciplinary professionals (including Planners, Landscape Architects, Geologists, Remote Sensing Specialists, and Electrical Engineers) collaborated on the design of a microcomputer-based geographic information system to be used for planning and resource analysis applications.
PE&RS, Nov 1988).įrom the 1984 ERDAS 2400 Users' Manual -1 we read,
Combining remote sensing and GIS analysis capabilities made the ERDAS software a true decision support tool as a GIS is intended to be (Cowen, D. Combining remote sensing with GIS allowed ERDAS to deliver a product which analyzed existing geospatial information and create updated information for re-analysis rather than use outdated data allowing the customer to make the most informed decision on the their part of an ever changing world. Since its beginning, ERDAS software was designed to be a blend of remote sensing and GIS analysis capabilities. I have rebuilt this history from "What's New" PowerPoints, "What's New" documents, software documentation, release plans, software media, software code, advertisements, and personal interviews. I thought I would take some time to briefly outline some of the major points in the history of ERDAS IMAGINE. It allows you to extract data from images like a seasoned professional, regardless of your experience or education.+++While this blog post was originally in April 2009, I have added to it to keep it up-to-date on releases and new information uncovered in my historical research.+++ Erdas Imagine gives you the tools to manipulate and understand this data.Ī Comprehensive Toolbox : Erdas Imagine is a broad collection of software tools designed specifically to process imagery. It is a valuable source of data that captures actual events at specific times and places in the world so that you can study how the earth changes over time. Imagery is far more than pictures of the earth’s surface. In addition, the software's utilities are extensive and include those necessary to perform tasks ranging from geometric correction and image enhancement to advanced processing and analysis of multispectral and hyperspectral imagery in 2-D and 3-D environments. The product's straightforward, easy-to-use graphic interface presents users with a complex suite of high-powered spatial enhancement and analysis tools. Since its inception, Erdas Imagine has been used for numerous applications, including natural resource management, telecommunications, urban planning and habitat mapping.
