What are the ERDAS extensions for ArcGIS?
IU's site license with ERDAS provides two complimentary extensions designed for ESRI's ArcGIS Desktop software:
- Image
Analysis for ArcGIS allows you to prepare imagery for
GIS. It includes tools for spatial, radiometric, and
spectral enhancement, as well as supervised and unsupervised
classification.
- Stereo Analyst for ArcGIS adds image viewing and feature collection capabilities to ArcMap. You can use this extension to collect 3D geographic information for creating and maintaining highly accurate GIS data stored in a geodatabase.
To use these extensions, you must purchase both an ERDAS IMAGINE license and an ArcGIS license. If your organization already has a current ERDAS IMAGINE license, you may download the above extensions from IUware Online. If you do not already have an ERDAS IMAGINE license, see At IU, how do I purchase software from ERDAS?

-

extension to Stereo Analyst for ArcGIS, ERDAS Terrain Editor for
ArcGIS enables you to update a Geodatabase Terrain file.
