Remote Sensing software Software, HQ special strength ERDAS (Atlanta, USA: 1979) – vector integration PCI (Toronto, Canada: 1982) – orthophotos / breadth ENVI (Boulder, USA: 1991) - hyperspectral ER Mapper (Perth, Australia:) - image web server …. now part of ERDAS (2007)
Prior to ERTS / Landsat (1972), little was known about image processing except how to contrast stretch and rectification CCRS first to acquire Image100 system developed by GE - $1million OVAAC 8 by Dick Economy (formerly GE), on standard VAX system, … sold to PCI in 1985 Hardware 1970-80 Specialised hardware 1981 IBM PC (2 bit colour = 4 colours) 1990 UNIX workstations 8 bit colour 2000 PC – windows with 24 bit colour Early software history

Started in 1982 by U.S. Army - Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (USA-CERL) in Champaign, Illinois. USA-CERL completed its last release of GRASS as version 4.1 in 1992. GRASS development was assumed by academia in 1997, an international team manages the source code. GRASS - http://grass.itc.it/
