 MapImagery is a free plugin for
MapInfo users that provides tools making it easier to use imagery within MapInfo
Professional. MapImagery supports a wide range of raster image formats and makes it
simpler to use these formats within MapInfo Professional by automatically extracting
registration information, where this is available.MapImagery has strong
support for working with ECW compressed images and Image Web Server URL images. In
addition, MapImagery enables ER Mapper algorithms, prepared via ER Mapper or MapImagery
Professional, to be displayed, and integrated with vector information, within MapInfo
Professional.
MapImagery Professional is an upgrade to
MapImagery, that provides an advanced set of raster tools, usually only available in high
cost dedicated image processing products. MapImagery Professional can be used
for preparing, adjusting and enhancing imagery, for use within MapInfo Professional based
applications.
MapImagery Professional shares the same
download and install as the MapImagery. The additional features of MapImagery
Professional can be activated via the entry of a software key, which can be purchased from
the MapImagery web site or from Earth Resource Mapping.
Overview
No not everyone is willing to put the time and effort
required to learn all the features of a fully fledged professional image processing
system. Also not everyone needs, or is willing to pay for a fully featured $10,000
professional image processing system. To solve real world problems people need to use many
tools. Integration of these tools can be as important or even more important than the
tools themselves.
 MapImagery Limited's new product, MapImagery Professional, has
been been created to address all of these needs. MapImagery Professional makes a
smaller number of features really easy to use. These features are made available to people
at a very attractive price.
 MapImagery Professional is seamlessly integrated with MapInfo Professional, and
other MapInfo based applications, solving many of the integration problems that people
have.
 MapImagery uses proven ER Mapper technology as a basis, so you can depend on its
quality and strength. What this also provides is an upgrade path for power users, to the
leading professional imaging product, ER Mapper. Compatibility with a whole range of free
imaging plug-ins also makes it simple to integrate MapImagery into your organization wide
GIS strategy.
With MapImagery everything like Installing, Licensing, and Getting support is
very simple, so that anyone can do it.
