What can you discover in a single satellite image? In this one-on-one course, you’ll dive into the world of ERDAS Imagine and learn how to extract hidden patterns and valuable insights from aerial and satellite imagery. With personalized guidance, interactive online modules, and realistic assignments, you’ll rapidly develop your skills in geospatial image analysis.
ERDAS Imagine is powerful software that allows you to process, analyze, and interpret satellite and aerial imagery. It is an indispensable tool in the field of geoinformation. Whether you’re working on spatial projects for government agencies, in consulting, or in research—with ERDAS Imagine, you’ll get more out of your geodata than with standard GIS software.
The principles of image interpretation have existed for over 150 years and form the basis for analyzing visual data. Think of elements such as shape, shadow, color, texture, and location. What once began with military aerial reconnaissance has since evolved into a widely applicable analytical method within fields such as environmental studies, agriculture, and urban planning.
With ERDAS Imagine, you’ll learn to combine these classic interpretation elements with modern analysis techniques. This allows you to translate complex imagery into clear insights that you can immediately apply in your professional field.
In an era where remote sensing and Earth observation are becoming increasingly important, knowledge of ERDAS Imagine is a valuable skill for anyone who works professionally with geodata.
During this blended learning course, you’ll learn to work with ERDAS Imagine—the leading software for analyzing satellite and aerial imagery—in an accessible and practical way. You’ll be introduced to the most important image processing steps, from importing and correcting images to analyzing and interpreting them. You’ll work with both basic and advanced features of the software.
An important part of the course is visual image interpretation. You’ll learn how to use elements such as color, shape, texture, shadow, and location to correctly understand and analyze images. These skills form the foundation for independently conducting image analyses within the field of geoinformation and remote sensing.
The blended learning approach—based on the Rotation Model—offers you a combination of self-paced online modules and live online sessions with an experienced instructor. This way, you learn at your own pace, but you’re never on your own. You’ll practice with realistic datasets and scenarios drawn directly from the field. This allows you to immediately apply what you learn to concrete applications, such as environmental analysis, spatial planning, or mapping changes in the landscape.
This course is designed for professionals and students who want to use ERDAS Imagine as a powerful tool for image analysis with geodata. You’ll build a solid foundation and discover how to get more out of the software’s advanced capabilities.
Blended learning combines independent online study with hands-on, interactive sessions, allowing you to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience with ERDAS Imagine and image analysis. The online modules give you the freedom to study at your own pace. At the same time, they offer structured and interactive lessons on remote sensing, image processing steps, and the application of ERDAS Imagine in geospatial workflows. You’ll learn how to import, edit, and analyze satellite imagery. You’ll also discover how to perform classifications and recognize patterns in imagery.
During the hands-on online sessions, you’ll immediately apply the knowledge you’ve gained. You’ll work with realistic geodata and receive personalized guidance from experts in image interpretation and remote sensing. You’ll learn how to effectively apply visual interpretation techniques, how to set up projects in ERDAS Imagine, and how to perform analyses that are directly applicable to your daily work. Furthermore, you will learn how to confidently support decisions based on visual data.
The combination of flexible online learning and hands-on training ensures that you not only learn how to work with ERDAS Imagine, but also how to apply it in real-world scenarios. After completing this course, you will be able to independently interpret, process, and use satellite imagery for spatial analysis. This will allow you to work more effectively and make better-informed decisions in your field.
You’ll receive 1-on-1 guidance. After signing up, our course coordinator will contact you to schedule your first session.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
Do you have questions about the course content? Or are you unsure whether the course aligns with your learning goals or preferences? Would you prefer an in-house or private course? We’d be happy to help.
After the course, you’ll have another two weeks to ask the instructor questions. Since the instructor is already teaching other courses, it’s best to email your questions to info@geo-ict.nl. Your question will be forwarded to the instructor, and you’ll receive a response within 24 hours.
If you’re a bit further along and encounter practical problems you can’t solve on your own, it’s best to use Online Support. You’ll spend one day online with the instructor and receive personalized one-on-one instruction. All your problems will be resolved, and you’ll have made significant progress.
If you run into problems in practice that you can’t solve on your own, you have two options: you can sign up for a beginner or advanced course, or you can sign up for Online Support.
You’ll spend a day online with an instructor and receive personalized one-on-one instruction. All your problems will be resolved, and you’ll have made significant progress.
