With ER Mapper 6.0 there is no limit to the image processing power of your GIS. Download free GIS plugins today from our web site Distribute compressed imagery Free plugins in ER Mapper 6.0 allow GIS/CAD/Office users to view ER Mapper images from within their applications and distribute plugins with the data for easy viewing. The compression wizard achieves rates of up to 50:1 for color imagery. Each plugin contains the complete ER Mapper processing engine.
2 ER Mapper The enterpr The enterprise wide imagery revolution Give your GIS data real world meaning, by presenting it over ER Mapper image backdrops through a series of plugins. Benefits of using revolutionary `algorithms' instead of `disk-to-disk' processing ER Mapper performs all its processing when it displays an image, without using disk storage. As you change the processing, the image displayed by ER Mapper changes interactively. This promotes a valuable try it and see method of working, vital to modern image processing. ER Mapper is perfect for handling our aerial images, mosaicing, enhancements, and rectification...it is a vast improvement on anything I ve used in the past. -- Mario Gismondi, Survey Graphics 1. Prepare imagery in ER Mapper Whether you re mosaicing two airphotos or hundreds, nothing gets results quicker or easier than ER Mapper. Place your images in the real world using the most extensive database of coordinate systems and map projections. ER Mapper offers advantages such as: Import from over 100 different imagery formats No file size limits easily show images of any size Orthophoto and Geocoding wizards Mosaic and color balancing wizards Automatically join numerous airphotos View or hide individual airphotos Blend along areas of overlap Users are able to produce professional looking maps that would make even the most demanding of cartographers drool with envy. -- Desktop Computing, The Star 2. Use compressed images inside your GIS The skeleton lines and points of GIS vector data are transformed into a complete picture with the addition of an image backdrop. With the ER Mapper plugins you can directly read an ER Mapper image behind your GIS vector data. Your information is then immediately put into a real world context and errors and changes can be identified. You can now compress and display images of any size easily inside your GIS packages. Free plugins shipped with ER Mapper 6.0 include: Free ArcView GIS Version 3.1 plugin Free MapInfo Professional v4.5 and v5.0 plugin Free AutoCAD Map plugin Free Autodesk World plugin ER Viewer (view images within Microsoft programs such as Word and Excel) All brands, company names and product names are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective holders. Not all functions are available on all platforms. Product specifications subject to change without notice. It was the cheapest and best option for airphoto mosaicing. -- Jim Mitchell, Crazy Mountain ER Mapper can make a world of difference to the way you view your GIS Find and update changes and errors in your GIS data easier by using backdrops prepared with ER Mapper ER Mapper algorithm in MapInfo ER Mapper is an important tool for our research activities since it enables us to test some of the processing, quickly and simply visualize data sets, and merge either different types of data or interface directly with our data base. -- Yann H. Kerr, Cesbio

4 Case study Local planning, using the enterprise wide solution Application by Dawn Newman and Francois Venter of the Gauteng Provincial Government Because of the rate at which the area of Gauteng (an area in South Africa) is expanding, one of the problems we experience are informal settlements (squatter areas). These extending areas surround the major towns bringing with them associated sanitation, educational, infrastructure and safety problems. As the squatter areas expanded, more and more pressure was applied to find solutions to the problems at the grassroots level. This is why the impact of being able to visualize the problem with accurate and recent real world imagery is so important to us. The challenges of local government management and planning in a growing and developing region were far outweighing the capabilities of our traditional methods. These consisted of hardcopy maps with haphazard color coding and census data which were both inefficient and highly expensive, not to mention out of date. To assist in making effective decisions, we needed to have a method of gathering the information from various sources, integrating it and ensuring each source was transparent to the others. Three years ago we began to implement image processing and GIS techniques and the results have been outstanding. We use a combination of satellite imagery and aerial photography of the Gauteng region. ER Mapper is used to georeference and mosaic the imagery, and if necessary merged to form an image backdrop. More advanced processes such as manipulation of the spectral bands immediately highlight densely populated squatter areas. It is at this point that immediate conclusions can be easily drawn. Change detection comparing old maps with up to date imagery can easily show where new settlements have sprung up and which areas have increased in size. However, the imagery is given even greater value when combined with information from a GIS. We integrate GIS information from Autodesk World with our image backdrop from ER Mapper. Because the ER Mapper technology is embedded inside Autodesk World, the combination of data is simple. It effectively handles the vast complexity, variety and physical spread of the alphanumeric data involved. Because our visual interpretation of the GIS data is now easier, we can query the database for more complex information. It has simplified our data analysis process tenfold whilst increasing its accuracy and improving our decision making results. We have been able to verify and update cadastral data, query database information and map an effective scenario for decision-makers. In a matter of minutes, we now have all of this information at our fingertips allowing us to reach intelligent and informed conclusions. Our latest project has been for the Disaster Management Team in Gauteng. In one of the squatter settlements featured in the images here, lack of electricity meant extensive use of paraffin lamps in winter. This posed extreme dangers of fire. Through the analysis of aerial photos, satellite imagery and database querying it was found that housing within the area was so dense that only small pathways were left between each hut. This meant that the risk of fire spreading was greatly increased and the efforts of the emergency services in reaching the affected area were being hampered. In order to maximise response times and to minimise the damage, it is important for rescue teams to know the terrain they are going to work in before they make decisions on how to best handle the situation. The clean up operation in progress ER Mapper image inside Autodesk World As information specialists, it is our job to provide policy makers with relevant information to make informed decisions. Once the Disaster Management team became aware of this potentially deadly situation, they were able to relocate families to more suitable living areas. Again we used our combined imagery data from ER Mapper and database information from Autodesk World to select appropriate sites whilst improvements were being made. The area was cleared and cleaned, new housing zones identified and established, roads clearly marked and widened enough for the use of vehicles and fire engines. The community assisted the team once the benefits were seen and as a result the settlement is now a much safer and healthier place to live. Utilizing real world, up to date imagery instead of our basic cadastral and vector data has influenced a paradigm shift within our department. The vision held by most people has broadened to include the impact that each Government department be it H o u s i n g, Agriculture and Environment or The area surrounding the area after redevelopment Education and Health has on one another. It has also helped us to realise how important it is for all departments within Gauteng Provincial Government to work together towards our Smart Province Vision.

5 Case study When size really does matter. John Murtagh describes a solution the NRSC found to an age-old problem The above image is a small section of a 260Mb image mosaic that has been compressed to 2.6Mb Anyone who has ever used or generated imagery will know that file size is an issue. Whether scanned or acquired direct from a sensor, the resulting digital images are often large. Such unwieldy file sizes means that the results are costly in terms of storage, processing capability and data generation time. The UK National Remote Sensing Centre is one such company who continually generates imagery from its mass of historical and recent aerial flights. Previously, distribution of such massive datasets caused real problems as the mosaicing of imagery created datasets of several gigabytes. Fortunately this is no longer a problem for the NRSC. As users of ER Mapper we automatically have access to the latest breakthrough in compressed wavelet technology. This gives us the means to easily distribute 10GB (10,000MB) of color imagery on a single CD-ROM. The combination of using compressed imagery and a free ER Viewer has given us an ideal low cost and hassle free solution, overcoming the distribution and storage nightmares of old. The old and the new Before compression, we had to distribute images by CD-ROM, Exabyte, 4 mm DAT tape or QIC 150. Each 24 bit image needed 290mb, so a 650MB CD ROM could only hold two entire digital images. Even with our existing technology, only compression rates of 3:1 could be achieved reducing the imagery to 100 MB. This would allow a maximum of 6 compressed images per CD-ROM. Many CDs would be needed for countywide coverage at 1:25,000 scale. Further to this, creation of orthophoto mosaics not only exacerbates the problems of file size, but the variation of color across the imagery also creates an effect rather like a patchwork quilt. This is caused by various distortions in the camera lens. Balancing the colors in the images to create a more attractive, seamless mosaic would take our data processors anything up to a day to achieve the desired affect. With the solution that ER Mapper presented us with, we have now overcome all of the above issues. We can now compress the imagery by up to 100:1 using ER Mapper's compression technology. This means that we can save 224 images on a single CD-ROM and distribute them along with the Viewer. The compression algorithm helps us to have an efficient, cost effective workflow for producing and distributing our imagery quickly to our customers. How do we use compression? After rectifying, mosaicing and color balancing the imagery, we can save the result directly as a compressed image by using the compression wizard in ER Mapper. We can choose whether the compressed image is greyscale or RGB, and then we can select the compression ratio. This wizard will suggest the best compression ratio for the image, but we are at total liberty to select any compression ratio we require. The wizard will show you the resulting size and once satisfied we can run the compression and store the result. The Benefits to the NRSC There are a number of benefits to the NRSC that resulted from using compression for our imagery: No data royalties - There are no data royalties when using compression to produce compressed imagery. This means that we can distribute as much as we like without incurring additional costs. Free plugins - The free GIS and Office plugins can be distributed with our imagery to enable MS Office, ArcView, MapInfo Professional, Autocad MAP, ER Mapper and other users to directly access and use our imagery. Tightly integrated - As the Compression Wizard is integrated with ER Mapper 6.0, we can use other functionality within ER Mapper. Free Viewer - This enables us to distribute our datasets with the ER Viewer to our clients at no additional cost Distribution is a key component of our workflow. Without the efficient, low cost method we have been given to achieve this, we would be in danger of not only limiting accessibility to our imagery, but we would be creating higher overhead costs in terms of storage and processing. So, we no longer have a complex about size at the NRSC. We know small is better! John Murtagh, National Remote Sensing Centre
