TerrSet 2020 Software Features

IDRISI GIS Analysis

The IDRISI GIS tool set offers over 300 analytical tools, primarily oriented to raster data, for the manipulation of geospatial datasets for the exploration of our rapidly changing world.

IDRISI Image Processing

The IDRISI Image Processing System in TerrSet is an extensive set of procedures for image restoration, enhancement, transformation and classification of remotely sensed imagery.

Land Change Modeler

Land Change Modeler (LCM) is an innovative land planning and decision support software tool for land change analysis and prediction with a special facility for REDD project-level modeling.

Habitat and Biodiversity Modeler

The Habitat and Biodiversity Modeler (HBM) is a vertical application intended for habitat assessment, landscape pattern analysis and biodiversity modeling.

GeOSIRIS

GeOSIRIS is a tool that quantifies and maps the impacts of national-level REDD projects on deforestation, carbon emissions, agricultural revenue, and carbon payments.

Ecosystem Services Modeler

The Ecosystem Services Modeler (ESM) is a spatial decision support system for assessing the value of natural capital for sustainable development.

Earth Trends Modeler

The Earth Trends Modeler (ETM) is an integrated suite of tools for the analysis of image time series data associated with Earth Observation remotely sensed imagery.

Climate Change Adaptation Modeler

The Climate Change Adaptation Modeler (CCAM) is suite of tools for modeling future climate and assessing its impacts on sea level rise, crop suitability and species distributions.

  • Ecosystem Services Modeler
    The Ecosystem Services Modeler (ESM) is closely based on the InVEST tools developed by the Natural Capital Project. Fifteen ecosystem service models have been implemented. In this illustration, ESM is used to evaluate water yield and water scarcity in the year 2100 for the state of Massachusetts. The predicted land cover input was generated by Land Change Modeler in TerrSet and the predicted precipitation was generated by the Climate Change Adaptation Modeler in TerrSet. The outputs from water yield are used to calculate hydropower potential at the subwatershed level in the year 2100.
  • Segmentation in TerrSet
    The SEGMENTATION module creates an image of segments that have spectral similarity across many input bands. This example shows two levels of segmentation from panmerged Quickbird imagery. The image on the left uses a larger similarity threshold than the one on the right, resulting in more generalized, less homogeneous segments. Altering this threshold allows for the segmentation of objects, such as forest stands, tree crowns or buildings.
