ERDAS Desktop 2010, Version 10.1 Upgrade
This update is the first general software-maintenance update to the ERDAS ERDAS IMAGINE, LPS, and ERDAS ER Mapper2010 software. This update can be installed on top of ERDAS IMAGINE and/or LPS and/or ER Mapper 2010. It contains the resolutions to over 450 individually identified issues, as well as the following new features:
LICENSING
This enhancement uses existing ERDAS 2010 version 10.0 licensing. No new license file is required, except for the new LPS eATE product, which does require a new license file.
GENERAL
Large Address Aware Support
- On 64-bit systems, many applications have been upgraded with the capability to use more system memory.
- Generally increases the maximum size of input images, as well as the number of images which can be simultaneously handled.
- ECW JPEG2000 Codec SDK upgraded to v4.1

ERDAS IMAGINE
- Inquire Cursor Improvements
- Keeps user entered coordinates unchanged.
- Supports full precision display of coordinates.
- Provides capability to read out elevation values.
- Display Heights in Ellipsoid, Mean Sea Level or any other vertical datum reference.
- Cursor reports values based on active layer.
Image Segmentation
- Improved scalability, so large images may be segmented efficiently.
Objective Batch Processing
- Added Batch Processing to IMAGINE Objective to allow scalability of workflows.
Improved Projection Support
- Improved support of EPSG-defined coordinate systems.
- Added various other projections.
- Improved interoperability with GeoTIFF projections.
Improved Scalability in NITF
- Improved memory handling of NITF format so more images can be loaded in memory.
Out of Band access of Web Coverage Services data
- Networked files loaded through the GeoServices Explorer (GSX) can be accessed directly as regular images for increased performance.
Dynamic Quality Roam
- When roaming JPEG 2000 compressed images, lower quality layers may be used if the roaming rate is high.
MrSID Raster Format
- Direct read updated with an optional look-ahead reader which can boost performance of some applications by 30%.
- Direct-write format added across ERDAS IMAGINE.
- Output images can now be compressed directly to lossless MrSID without the use of a temporary file.
DPPDB Footprint Extraction
- Extracts segment footprints to either shapefile, annotation, or AOI.
WorldView-2 Sensor Support
- Sensor model support for WorldView-2 was enhanced to accept more band combinations in the “bandID” field.
- Support was added for using the .TIL file for assembling tiled Digital Globe images (Quickbird, WorldView-1, WorldView-2).
IMAGINE SAR Interferometry
- Spectral Shift Filter applies a range and azimuth spectral shift filter for Stripmap acquisition mode.
- Manual Baseline Tool added to assist in improving baseline refinement.
- Improvement in rectification processing time in OrthoRadar.
- Increase SAR Metadata capability to more SAR parameters.

ERDAS ER MAPPER
- Create Transparency Masks when compressing to ECW and JPEG 2000.
- Assign Transparency Masks to existing ECW images.
- Now supports more EPSG Projection codes and offers a more compatible GeoTIFF, as well as having better backward compatibility with ERS files produced in older versions.

LPS
eATE
LPS eATE is a new LPS module for generating high resolution terrain information from stereo imagery. Featuring a completely new design and sophisticated algorithms for generating and classifying dense elevation surfaces, LPS eATE provides an unparalleled environment for processing terrain data. This highly flexible solution provides capability for data types ranging from satellite to airborne frame and digital pushbroom sensors. It can generate grid, TIN and point cloud data over both reflective surface and bare earth depending on project needs. It can distribute processing across multiple cores in a workstation, or across multiple workstations in a network using Condor. The Condor installer's download is located under Fixes & Enhancements > LPS 2010.
LPS - General
- Added preferences to the Project Manager to "Enable semi-transparency when drawing Graphics" and "Draw graphics with anti-aliasing". Both improve the viewing experience of LPS Project Manager.
- Fixed the inconsistent handling of internal LSR coordinate systems for the camera sensor model in LPS Core, TE, & ORIMA for a block file which has a horizontal only datum such as "NAD27" , "DE_DHDN (BeTA, 2007) to ETRS89", "Rome40 (DLL)" , "NZGD2000 (NTv2)", "RGF93_NTF (NTv2)" ,and "NTF->RGF93 (NTv2)".
- Improved the performance of DEM reprojection in Ortho Resampling and display of images calibrated with DEM.
- Added ability to regenerate pyramids in LPS.
- Added preference to launch IMAGINE ribbon interface from LPS. The default is to launch IMAGINE Classic interface.
OrthoProcess
- LPS Ortho Resampling can run up to 4 processes concurrently on multiple CPU machines through the Batch tool.
- Improved performance of a Mixed Sensor block by avoiding unnecessary reprojection when the block file and its individual images have the same coordinate system. This performance improvement affects ortho resampling and mosaicking.
Sensor Models
- Sensor model support for WorldView-2 was enhanced to accept more band combinations in the “bandID” field.
- Support was added for using the .TIL file for assembling tiled Digital Globe images (Quickbird, WorldView-1, WorldView-2).
Stereo Point Measurement Tool
- Added support for nearest neighbor resampling and choices for anaglyph mode viewing.
- Added ability to have different colors for the active and the tracking cursor to help differentiate the two.
- Rearranged and streamlined the SPM interface for more efficient production.
- Added a "recenter cursor" feature that pulls the cursor back to the center of the view (same as in TE).
Terrain Editor
- Added Feathering settings to Terrain Editor Preferences.
- AAdded scale dependent rendering to Terrain Editor.
- Added support for 3DConnexion Space Explorer Mouse. It is available for TE, SPM, PRO600 and ORIMA.
