Hi Friends

Imagery is far more than pictures of the earth’s surface. It is a valuable source of data that

captures actual events at specific times and places in the world so that you can study how the earth changes over time. ERDAS IMAGINE gives you the tools to manipulate and understand this data. A Comprehensive Toolbox ERDAS IMAGINE is a suite of software tools designed specifically to process geospatial imagery. It allows you to extract data from images like a seasoned professional, regardless of your experience or education.
Easy to Use With its large and easy-to-use selection of image processing tools, ERDAS IMAGINE both simplifies and streamlines your workflow. It also allows you to keep in-house many of the functions you may have needed to outsource before.
Enterprise Enabled ERDAS IMAGINE V9.0 introduces enterprise-enabled geospatial imaging processing. A relational database provides enormous benefit by enabling end-user visibility into the data it contains and increasing the accessibility of the data. This maximizes the investment in image and feature geospatial information. The three modules providing enterprise capabilities are IMAGINE Essentials®, IMAGINE Enterprise Loader™ and IMAGINE Enterprise Editor™. IMAGINE Essentials provides read-only access to data already stored in centralized databases. IMAGINE Enterprise Loader gives users the ability to load vector and raster data into a database. IMAGINE Enterprise Editor lets users topologically edit feature data in the database.

In support of his point that trying to innovate in the use of information technology rarely pays off, he cites quite directly the Innovate program of the McDonald's Corporation. This is the billion-dollar program to put sensors in fryers and soda taps everywhere to create a worldwide "real-time" information system. The plug was pulled after just $170 million was spent, with the first extensive report on what the system entailed coming from Baseline reporters
