ERDAS Imagine (Leica Geosystems, Atlanta, GA) will be used to process the image triples obtained in the flyover. With ERDAS Imagine, the major steps in image processing, such as image format conversion, image stacking and NDVI image generation can be implemented in batch, which help automate the processes. Other steps, such as image registration, image geo-reference and AOI image generation, are less difficult to run regularly than in batch specifically for the airborne image data over irrigation canals.
