ERDAS IMAGINE 2013

Whats New?

ERDAS IMAGINE performs advanced remote sensing analysis and spatial modeling to create new
information. In addition, with ERDAS IMAGINE, you can visualize your results in 2D, 3D, movies, and on
cartographic-quality map compositions. The core of the ERDAS IMAGINE product suite is engineered to
scale with your geospatial data production needs. Optional modules providing specialized functionalities
are also available to enhance your productivity and capabilities.

IMAGINE Essentials is the entry-level image processing product for map creation and simple
feature collection tools.

IMAGINE Advantage enables 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 a production toolset for advanced spectral, hyperspectral, and
radar processing, and spatial modeling. Includes ERDAS ER Mapper.

ERDAS IMAGINE 2013 has new point cloud capabilities to create, analyze,
and render point clouds.

New Features for 2013

New Tools and Technology for Handling Point Clouds

ERDAS IMAGINE 2013 enables you to more thoroughly visualize, analyze, and manage your
point clouds. New viewing technology allows you to simultaneously view point clouds in 2D, 3D,
and as a user-specified profile that can reveal cross sections of the point cloud. There are also
tools to classify, subset, and filter your point data, as well as, RGB encode it (use an orthophoto
of the same area to add color to the points).

Next-Generation Spatial Modeler

The next-generation spatial modeler features an all-new, modern interface and provides real-time
preview of results. In addition to the ERDAS IMAGINE raster operators, the new spatial modeler
incorporates GeoMedia vector and grid operators to greatly extend the problem-solving capability.
Python scripting allows users to extend the utility of the modeler and even incorporate operators
from other software.

The new spatial modeler has a new, modern look for 2013.

New Expanded Sensor Support Available Throughout ERDAS IMAGINE

New Tools in the IMAGINE Radar Mapping Suite

IMAGINE Radar Mapping Suite provides new tools that enable easier, more thorough use of
radar data resources. Many of the radar tools are now presented using a ribbon interface for
faster and easier access. Other features include real-time ship tracking with Automatic
Identification System (AIS) feeds, on-the-fly georeferencing, and quick and easy detection of
floods or spills.

Better Results for Object-based Feature Extraction

ERDAS IMAGINE Objective uses a new segmentation algorithm, FLS, and provides you with the
ability to fine-tune the creation of segments based on shape, size, texture, and spectral value.

ERDAS IMAGINE Objective uses a new segmentation algorithm.

Additional Indices and a Streamlined Interface for Working with Indices

ERDAS IMAGINE 2013 includes more than 35 of the most commonly used indices (band algebra
formulas that enable easier information extraction from imagery), and the interface used to work
with indices is now streamlined. The indices work with all of the sensor models supported by
ERDAS IMAGINE, and the indices tool is connected to the spatial modeler for easy editing.
