ERDAS Imagine – A Introduction to ToolBar

ERDAS  Imagine – A Introduction to ToolBar
Earth Resource Data Analysis System (ERDAS) is an remote sensing application software for Geo-spatial Analysis. It helps the Analyst to process, display and excavate information specific to the user’s Area of Interest (AOI) for GIS.

Requirements:
ERDAS Imagine Software ( I use 2010)
An Digital Image or LADSAT Imagery
Storage Folders created in your local Hard Drive
Understanding the Menu Bar:
Familiarize yourself with the menu items located along the top left of the icon panel  on the software.


1.     Session:  Session settings such as user preferences and configuration.
2.     Main: Allows access to all the modules located along the icon panel.
3.     Tools: Allows you to display and edit annotation, image, and vector information, access  
           surface draping capabilities, manage post script and true type fonts, convert
          coordinates, and view ERDAS Macro Language (EML) script files.
4.     Utilities: Allows access to a variety of compression and conversion algorithms including
JPEG, ASCII, image to annotation, and annotation to raster.  
5.     Help: On-Line Help documentation as well as icon panel and version information.  


1.    Viewer: A main window for displaying raster, vector, AOI, and annotation layers.
2.    Import/Export: Allows downloads and uploads of Vector or Raster Data
3.    Data/Prep: Set of Data Tools that will help in Image Classification.
4.    Composer:  Prepares data for hardcopy map production.
5.    Interpreter: GIS Analysis, Spatial enhancement, spectral enhancement, Fourier analysis, topographic analysis, various Image manipulation utilities.
6.    Catalog:  Catalog the enables easy retrieval of Raster Files, stored in the archive database.  
7.    Classifier:  Helps perform supervised or unsupervised image classification.
8.    Modeler: Allows you to perform many GIS algebra and GIS modeling operations using Model Maker and the Spatial Modeler Language.
9.    Vectors: Tools in allows conversion raster to vector and vice versa, build and clean vector layers, copy, rename, and delete vector layers, and more.
10. Radar: Provides access to native image processing operations with radar imagery.
11. Virtual GIS: This an Add-on-module. VirtualGIS is a family of tools for working with perspective scene generation and virtual worlds. This is a separately-licensed add-on module for IMAGINE.
12. Streo: This an Add-on-module. Details to be referred on ERDAS Help.
13. Auto-Sync: This an Add-on-module. Details to be referred on ERDAS Help.
14. Sub-Pixel: This an Add-on-module. Details to be referred on ERDAS Help.
15. Delta Cue: This an Add-on-module. Details to be referred on ERDAS Help.
16. Objective: This an Add-on-module. Details to be referred on ERDAS Help.

17. Feature: This an Add-on-module. Details to be referred on ERDAS Help.

GIS Knowledge share on Evelyn's dream factory

Well, mid-career change needs a lot of guts and support system. Thanks to Edsley for giving me both. Today i'm pursuing my higher education in a filed that i truly appreciate. HR is a domain that life landed me into, and Geo-spatial Studies is a domain that i choose to re-make my professional Career in. Parking aside the personal story, Geography mostly viewed as a subject of social science in India has in 20th century got it's new avatar of GIS, Geo-spatial and Remote Sensing. The theoretical concepts of geography, now has sea of applications from Sky, to land, Water and universe beyond. It's no longer a subject of earth, thanks to the technological advancements and customized software applications that enable mapping, analysis and visualization of spatial data. Going forward this blog, intends to regularly document the knowledge gained in the field of Geo-spatial Studies and GIS Technologies. It will serve both as a open-source platform for training reference and knowledge share archive.

To start with i'm going to write in detail of Fundamentals if ERDAS,..... Posts will also cover latest trends in the domain.

Socializing? Oh not me!!!!

Been a tiring month,..... Hearing and listening to people's Tantrums has been very exhausting on me,.... Folks just lie to cut a sorry figure and they do not mean a word of what they say.. World rightly calls it "Noises". In the process of socializing, we humans compromise on our innate potential and talent. Listening to people "Superficial /coated" Problems robs us of our  time, which can be used resourcefully otherwise,.... Offlate, i get a feeling that animals and birds are better of nature than human beings. Urban People just live their life pusedo-pleasing, bad mouthing, Back Stabbing, loving just money and monetary wealth.  There is no bit of sincerity or selfless love in man anymore. I prefer to stay a loner with a fruitful and sane mind than to be involved in mindless chatting in the name of socializing.   Socialzing? Oh Not me!!!!

It's not all about money, Honey

Talk about life, talk about money. Existence on earth is monetized so much that it is impossible to live in this world without money.  Feels like the world is entirely capitalized and the system is so much monopolized to favor the rich. “Just in time” a movie that says it all!!!! The poor, will forever need to work their blood out, to survive another day/month, while the rich makes recurring inflows again and again and again, without sweating a bit…. There is no morals, or values or good nature in man anymore.  His Life is defined by only net worth – Money!!! People Cheat, make lies, camouflage smiles and craft wild schemes,  to con  few thousands or lakhs. Such a shame to be a part of this blood-thirsty world. Nobody seems to care about meeting God after death. Well man, oh! you are so bothered about coveting home after home, gold, wealth, power, fame knowing that you will have to leave it all one day. How much more would you need to give thought of what is to come afterlife?? Will Man ever wake up to the reality of God-Christ, Love, heaven, goodness or selflessness? Scared it will be so,... 


But, in all this scam and white collared robbery, I believe that Jesus Christ, is Jehovah Jireh – “My Provider”.  He has so beautifully supplied for all my needs through my Man. At the moment, I’m like a little college kid, whose needs have been fully taken care. Well fed, Well pampered and most of all abundantly loved. It’s so amazing that God brings good tidings for his loved ones.   My Good tiding is my Edsley,….
