Compare functionalities for ERDAS IMAGINE product tiers

Available in three product tiers, ERDAS IMAGINE is capable of handling any geospatial task. Simple enough for the most novice user to get started, to those requiring robust accuracy suited for any application or project that any organization demands. All three tiers offer remarkably fast viewing and processing performance, even when handling massive data sets from any sensor in any format, dynamically.

IMAGINE ESSENTIALS
IMAGINE Essentials®: A powerful, low-cost image and LiDAR mapping and visualization tool that allows different types of geospatial data to be combined and quickly organized for projects. IMAGINE Essentials provides a robust set of tools for geocorrection, analysis, visualization, and map output.

IMAGINE ADVANTAGE
A geographic imaging toolset that extends the capabilities of IMAGINE Essentials by adding more precise mapping with sensor model support and geospatial data processing functions.The IMAGINE Advantage level allows for Point Cloud editing and includes a complete set of tools to analyze data from imagery via mosaicking, surface interpolation, radar analysis, advanced image interpretation, and orthorectification.

IMAGINE PROFESSIONAL
The most sophisticated software for geographic imaging, the Professional level of IMAGINE, includes complex hyperspectral image analysis, and advanced multispectral image classification and point cloud classification tools. It also includes graphical spatial data modeling, which is a unique capability for analyzing spatial data.The robust spatial modeler is a dynamic, graphical, spatial data modeling environment that provides real time feedback and previews. The modern interface includes extended analysis operators (including Point Cloud) as well as support for Python scripting. Authored models can be easily run in batch or published to a server (ERDAS APOLLO WPS).

IMAGINE Expansion Pack
For IMAGINE Advantage and IMAGINE Professional you benefit in addition from a package of special modules: IMAGINE Expansion Pack. The IMAGIN Expansion Pack includes the following modules:

IMAGINE AutoSync: Automated image-to-image registration
IMAGINE DeltaCue: Change Detection
IMAGINE OrthoRadar: Orthorectification of SAR data
IMAGIN StereoSAR DEM: Terrain models from radar data
IMAGINE VirtualGIS: 3D-Visualisation
Stereo Analyst for IMAGINE: Stereo feature collection
IMAGINE NITF Support
