An Introduction to ERDAS Imagine Software

This workshop was conducted in May 2019 to introduce and provide hands on training to participants of the Digitizing reptile and amphibian specimens at the Bombay Natural History Society project in the use of ERDAS Imagine software. ERDAS Imagine is an image processing software package that allows users to process both geospatial and other imagery as well as vector data. Participants were introduced to fundamentals of Remote-Sensing, Georeferencing using toposheets and satellite images, Topographic analysis and more. Understanding the fundamentals and use of this software is helpful for georeferencing location data as well as designing maps for species distribution.
