About ERDAS Development

Developed by ERDAS, it provides EML (ERDAS Marco language) and SML (Spatial Modeling Language ).
After Leica ERDAS Imagine 9.1 is installed, there are two developed PDF files in programming reference.

After reading EML and SML for half an hour, I feel that SML is okay, but EML is not what I want. Using EML for UI is like using FoxPro as the interface a long time ago. It is not as good as VB. Besides, there are. net!

Let's take a look at the next paragraph.
"Since 2002, with the financial support from Leica, the pace of development of ERDAS Imagine is more favorable and fast, with more new features andAlgorithmIn the new version, a series of measures not only make full use of users' current investment, but also get the protection of future product development. According to the company's product development plan, a new-generation Remote Sensing Image Processing System (Version 9) based on COM and image processing services will be available, this will provide users with more powerful functions and more convenient system and means for development and expansion. "

The analysis is as follows:
(1) Leica acted very early and eventually acquired ERDAS.
(2) com-based trends. It is conducive to development. If there is com, the. NET platform will be integrated. But now 9.1 does not seem to have any COM information. It can be seen that the workload of COM is huge. But on the other hand, it is not necessary to use. Net for development, such as AutoCAD. More MATLAB, it seems that there is no com, but there is. Net builder, and SPSS has. Net link. Can ERDAS support. Net builder and. Net link ?!
(3) network. I don't know what technology to adopt in an important direction. It may be ActiveX or Java applet. Ajax or Silverlight may not support vector publishing of massive data.
