Top Rated ERDAS IMAGINE Alternatives

I think it is the mainstream software for remote sensing analyst. The thing I like the most with ERDAS IMAGINE is its capability of performing almost all the processings you can find from remote sensing books, such as calibration, classification, and accuracy assessment.

It's a commercial software and the price is relatively high. The GUI is a bit out dated and the usage of the tool is not that straightforward. Compared with other spatial data processing software, such as ArcGIS, the help document is not that specific. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spatial Modeler is the backbone of the processing engine. ESRI's Model Maker was based on Spatial Modeler. This means the user can build their own tools using spatial modeler with Python and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool icons are really helpful as the icons make it easier to know what the tool does. The process is also faster than the previous software like ENVI and ArcGIS which I used. Additionally, the image processing is also faster, and it does not take time as it does in other softwares. The interface is smooth and, It did not take me a lot of time to get use to it. The tool box and the way how instruction is shown is very useful, as even if I get stumbled on any tool, it shows what the tool does. I would say that the best part among all the best part is that this software is simpler to use and easier to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes I wish the application had more shortcut keys. The application could be more faster I guess. If I had more shortcut keys I would do my job faster and the interface would be very fun to use it as well. On one hand the software may not be aesthetically pleasing as it is a technical software, if it were, I guess it would seem complex. I also wish that the meta data text could be made bigger as well. as sometimes, I have difficult time reading the text. Specially, if I am instructing someone, I would have to go really near the screen to read the text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
