Weaknesses (Cons)
1. Steep Learning Curve & Poor UI
- Interface feels like early 2000s Windows software—overloaded menus, non-intuitive icons, minimal contextual help.
- New users often require weeks of dedicated training just to run basic classification.
- Imagine the health of a cornfield next week: By calculating NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) in the Spatial Modeler, you aren't looking at green; you are looking at chlorophyll production. You are predicting yield before the harvest.
- Imagine the heat leaking from a poorly insulated factory: Using thermal bands, you turn temperature into a grayscale image. Cold is black; hot is white. Energy waste becomes a literal bright spot.
- Imagine the forest floor beneath a canopy: Using LiDAR data processed in the ERDAS LiDAR Module, you strip away the trees digitally. You map the archaeology hidden under the leaves—a lost Mayan road, a buried foundation.
