Classified and Measured Washington Forested Land
|
This week's lab involved utilizing a brand new software, ERDAS Imagine, to alter and express data. I greatly enjoyed being able to work outside of ArcGIS and appreciated learning the features and functionalities of this new software. I did encounter a few errors throughout the assignment, as a multitude of steps were either outdated or have changed since the creation of the lab. For example, the creation of the 'Area' field on ERDAS imagine did not properly adjust the areas of the classified lands as it should have. Also, there was no plausible way to adjust the Legend to display the areas of the land swaths, without manually having to do so via the labeling function. The second part of this lab (Part b) was very useful in learning more about the functionality of ERDAS Imagine, and I enjoyed learning how to find the spatial resolution on the software. It was interesting comparing how many of the functions of this app are similar (though sometimes very different) to ArcGIS Pro, such as the selection tool. Overall, my skillset in this software and GIS in general is certainly a work in progress, but I am learning and becoming better by the day!
