Lab ERDASIMAGINEsoftware Introduction

This document provides an overview of a lab introduction to using the ERDAS IMAGINE remote sensing software. It outlines 27 steps for loading and viewing Landsat images, stacking image bands, adding vector data, and generating spectral profiles within the ERDAS interface. The document describes functions for adding, linking, and setting properties of raster image layers from Landsat sensors. It also provides information on predefined data and using tools like attribute to annotation to label vector shapefiles overlaid on images. The goal is to demonstrate basic image processing and analysis capabilities in ERDAS IMAGINE.

Introduction to ERDAS IMAGINE Software
May 25, 2017
1. Open ERDAS IMAGINE 2010 from your computer

2. The components of ERDAS Window


3. The Tabs of Software

4. Add an Image of our Study Area


5. About Landsat Images

a. Landsat Multispectral Scanner

b) Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM)

c) Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+)


d) Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS)

6. Image Codes Meanings


7. Mechanism of Remote Sensing
7. Load Raster Image in the ERDAS Window

9. Create 2-D View to add another image (or another band of the same image)
10. Add band 3 image in 2nd view window and fit view to data extent (fit view to frame)

11. Another way to add Image and study layer properties


12. Add Band 4 Image in Viewer 3 and Band 5 image in viewer 4

13. We may also set the layer properties by Raster Option Tool

14. When you want to see the layer information


15. The layers’ (Band 3 image of L5) Info

16. Determining the Histogram, LUT and File Pixel values


17. Linking of all Views that contain Georeferenced Data

18. View / Edit Metadata of image layer


19. Layer Stacking

20. Stacking all bands of Image one by one to reduce error


21. Stack image added to your destination folder

22. Stack Image added to your window with Natural Band Combination (4-3-2 for landsat 5) for
further image processing
23. Predefined info of layer to be added

24. Images in False Color Combinations (5-4-2- Vegetation band combination)


25. Creating Subset of AOI
a) Open a Vector Layer

b) I had the map of Complete Pakistan


c) Select Islamabad – your study area

d) Add Islamabad Shapefile to your Image in Erdas and Fit layer to Window
e) View the Symbology of your Vector Shapefile

f) Change the Outlined Border’s color of your Shapefile to fit visible on the image
g) Vector Attribute to Annotation

h) Function (Result) of “Attribute to Annotation” Tool


(It turns an attribute field (district) into an annotation layer text element to assist in labeling
(and deconflicting polygon shapefiles)

.
26. Spectral Profile of Stack Image

27. Spectral Profile for Stack_l5 Image
