MegatronX: The powerful geospatial data production system

メガトロンX Who or what is  Megatron X ? Nobody knows according to the wiki . All that  is  known is that  his battle capabilities are off the charts. Inspired by the original Megatron X, one of the ERDAS IMAGINE  development team   (ThePixel) decided to name their super powerful computer on loan from HP as  MegatronX . The two have a lot in common, this computer's configuration is of the charts too. Model         :    HP Z820 Workstation RAM           :  128 GB  total (16x 8 GB modules)  DDR3 Quad,   RAID          :  15 TB   RAID 1 (7200 RPM SATA HDD) SATA SSD   : 256 GB ZTurbo SSD :  750 GB   Processor    :  8 cores @ 2.9 Ghz ( 16  cores ) -  2x Intel Xeon E5 2690   MosaicPro is one of the prominent data production tool in ERDAS IMAGINE.

Compute the least cost path between two points/location in Rabun county .  The first point/location we picked was Rabun County Jail and the second one was somewhere in Rabun Bald . We picked these locations to re-enact a hypothetical prison break/escape scenario, for some fun, but eventually got dropped and we did not to continue too deep with the theme. The example though stayed with us and is used extensively by my team in our automated testing suites for ERDAS IMAGINE  one of the flagship products of Hexagon Geospatial .  This blog post is my attempt to use the example as a tutorials to show how to use the Least Cost Path operator in Spatial Modeler . Using the Operator Create a Cost Map Video still to come... Filter and Rasterize the to/from points from a larger data Video still to come... Whole big model Video still to come...
