Harris Geospatial Solutions
is hosting two ENVI training
courses in January.
Introduction to ENVI Analytics training program on January
24-26, 2017. In this course attendees will learn about the core
functionality of ENVI, the image analysis software of choice
for image scientists, image analysts, and GIS professionals.
The course will cover the basics of working with ENVI, and
will also cover topics such as object oriented feature extraction
using ENVI’s Feature Extraction module. You will also be giv-
en an introduction to hyperspectral data analysis. The course
combines a mixture of lectures and hands on exercises, and in-
corporates data from various multispectral, hyperspectral and
radar sensors, including QuickBird, AVHRR, SPOT, Landsat,
TMS, and USGS Digital Elevation Models.
Extracting Information from Lidar Data on January 27, 2017.
ENVI is an interactive geospatial software environment de-
signed to help image analysts get the most out of their data.
The Feature Extraction (FX) module allows users to extract
features from point cloud data, as well as multispectral and
hyperspectral imagery. This course focuses on using the ENVI
FX module to display and extract information from 3-D point
clouds. ENVI FX supports most common lidar formats such as
LAS, Binary, ASCII, and NITF lidar. Using the FX module,
you can generate elevation products such as Digital Surface
Models (DSMs), Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), and digital
elevation contours. ENVI FX automatically extracts 3D fea-
tures from lidar point clouds such as buildings, trees, power
lines, and power poles. Products derived from lidar data pro-
cessing are ready for import directly into a GIS.
