ERDAS IMAGINE

Are You Making the Most of Your Geospatial Information?
Imagery is the most valuable source of geospatial data, vital to decision-making processes. Imagery captures actual events at specific times and places, and allows you to track the changes that take place. ERDAS IMAGINE® is the world's foremost remote sensing solution, providing tools to create, manage and analyze imagery to increase the value of your geospatial information.

Complete
ERDAS IMAGINE combines remotes sensing and GIS capabilities, enabling you to create geospatial data, extract the most information and update your existing GIS data.

Versatile
ERDAS IMAGINE allows you to process images and extract the information you need like a seasoned professional, regardless of your experience. You can analyze data from virtually any source. With add-on modules, you can tailor ERDAS IMAGINE to meet your specific requirements.

Seamless
ERDAS IMAGINE simplifies classification, orthorectification, mosaicking, reprojection and image interpretation, while maintaining the integrity of the geospatial data for updating your GIS in multiple formats, including ESRI Geodatabase and Oracle 10g. You may work in multiple datasets in the IMAGINE Geospatial Light Table^TM, reducing the time it would take to manually relate the information from various sources.
