REDLANDS, CALIF. — ESRI ArcGIS 10 technology provides new capabilities to quickly access, visualize process, analyze, and exploit all forms of imagery. To familiarize users with these tools, ESRI has announced it will host a free online seminar, Visualizing and Analyzing Imagery in ArcGIS 10, later this month.

The seminar will air live at www.esri.com/lts on Thursday, August 12, at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 3:00 p.m. Pacific daylight time.

Attendees will see a demonstration of the new Image Analysis window and process functions. They will learn how to quickly access common image enhancement and display tools including clipping, masking, dynamic range adjustment, and gamma and stretch adjustments.

The Image Analysis window is also the platform for accessing new, on-the-fly image processing techniques such as filtering, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), pan sharpening, and creating composite bands. They will also be given a demonstration of the new Image Classification toolbar, which provides a single location for classifying imagery.

Attendees will also learn about creating viewsheds and shaded relief maps from digital elevation models; using on-the-fly processing to orthorectify and pan sharpen images, and using enhanced images as input into standard geoprocessing tools.

This live training seminar is geared toward geographic information system (GIS) and image analysts who visualize, interpret, and analyze imagery and for administrators who manage large volumes of images and need to make them accessible to others.

A broadband Internet connection and an ESRI Global Account are needed to participate in the training seminar. Creating a global account is easy and free: visit www.esri.com/lts, click Login, and register your name and address. A few weeks after the live presentation, this seminar will be archived and available for viewing on the ESRI Training Web site.
