Nonetheless, the original objectives are a continuing challenge to the system design team."Īnother page from the first manual may be found here. ERDAS systems with these features are now being used around the United States, in Europe, and even in a mobile van-mounted unit. The choice of computer hardware options has been expanded to include the new DEC PDP-11 and VAX family of minicomputers, along with new turn-key hardware/software options for polygon digitizing, 9-track tape features, etc. Many programs have been expanded to handle multi-channel data (e.g., new LANDSAT) or extended ranges of data values for more complex GIS layers. Several menus for LANDSAT and GIS applications have doubled in the number of features offered. The Manual incorporates a wide variety of ideas which originated through feedback from system users. This User’s Manual in many ways reflects the growth and development of the original concept and design objectives. LANDSAT 4, digital soils and terrain tapes), new techniques, and new applications needs to be identified. The ability to expand both the system hardware and software over time as new data sources (e.g.The design of a “user-friendly” system environment through the use of keyword oriented menus and conversational programs.The need to integrate LANDSAT remotely sensed imagery into a more comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS) with other data sources such as soils, topography, cultural features, etc.Some of the original major design issues included: This Earth Resources Data Analysis System (ERDAS) was designed to be used by professionals in application areas without requiring a prior knowledge of computers or computer programming. "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a product which analyzed existing geospatial information and create updated information for re-analysis rather than use outdated data allowing the customer to make the most informed decision on the their part of an ever changing world.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. +++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.+++
