The ERDAS® IMAGINE® Reader provides FME with access to data in the ERDAS IMAGINE1 format.
Overview
ERDAS IMAGINE is a complete suite of geoprocessing tools for geoscience and earth resource applications for use in image processing, GIS in remote sensing and photogrammetry.
The software provides a combination of Image Processing, GIS analysis, terrain modeling, 3D visualization and programming toolkits for projects that require the processing and GIS analysis of geographic image data.
The ERDAS IMAGINE reader provides supports for the file format that the ERDAS IMAGINE software uses.
Reader Overview
FME considers a single ERDAS IMAGINE file to be a dataset. The ERDAS IMAGINE file contains pixel data: each pixel in the file is a point in a single FME raster feature.
Writer Overview
The ERDAS IMAGINE writer creates and writes data into a single folder specified by the Dataset parameter. The output file contains pixel data: each pixel in the file is a point in a single FME raster feature.
The writer distinguishes duplicate output files by appending numbers to the filenames.
FME Raster Features
FME raster features represent raster data and use several concepts that are unlike those used in the handling of vector data. The topics below describe how FME processes raster data.
ERDAS IMAGINE supports rasters with an arbitrary number of bands, provided all bands are the same data type. Bands may optionally have an RGBA32 palette, followed by any number of string palettes.
