Sneak Peak #3

A cool new TITAN Viewer feature for this upcoming release is HTML support via KML placemark balloons, including support for images and video.


After running through a very quick and easy tutorial for Google Spreadsheets to KML, I created a KMZ of ERDAS offices around the world, complete with images and an embedded video from YouTube. The screenshot above shows a placemark balloon containing information, links plus an illustration of our ERDAS office in Belgium.

History of Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry

ASPRS is documenting the history of aerial photography and photogrammetry which will be available here: www.asprs.org/films....although at this time the page is still under construction.

Geospatial Intelligence in WWII - Stats like: "WWII: TVA and USGS effort alone = 500 men and women; 11 countries mapped; 1.5 million hours worked
Photogrammetry in Space Exploration including a very interesting way maps were utilized in the Apollo 17 mission :)

Here is an interesting one on Aerial Survey Pioneers, documenting the very beginnings of imaging from the air:

ERDAS TV

If you haven't seen it already, many of us here at ERDAS have gotten into the movie making biz... Well, we're not on the cover of a Hollywood magazine yet but we are getting a lot of hits on ERDAS TV.

Sneak Peak #2

Sneak peak #2 highlights new coordinate display preferences. Along with decimal degrees, the user will now also have degrees minutes seconds and degrees decimal minutes as coordinate display options.


These coordinate changes show up in various places in the TITAN Viewer, including the display at the bottom left and also within the Find Tool.
