ERDAS IMAGINE supports a massive range of raster and vector formats. It natively reads formats like GeoTIFF, MrSID, ECW, and proprietary formats from major satellite providers (Landsat, Sentinel, SPOT, Planet). The file format (ERDAS Imagine format) has become an industry standard for raster data due to its efficient handling of large files.

Raw satellite images contain distortion from camera tilt and terrain. Using the or LPS (Leica Photogrammetry Suite) module, ERDAS IMAGINE software uses a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and sensor parameters to produce a geometrically corrected map accurate to sub-pixel levels.
