The Benefits of Definiens

Definiens Cognition Network Technology surpasses every other automated image analysis system delivering deeper insights, faster results and better decisions.

• Definiens applications can be developed in a fast and modular way.
  Applications can be developed rapidly by combining existing ruleware modules. Complex tasks can be addressed with the full power of Definiens Cognition Network Technology, which in turn creates ruleware that can easily be reused in other situations.
• Definiens' applications identify the most important images and the areas of interest within them.
  Definiens' applications perform automatic image triage, directing the attention of image analysts to the key areas of interest on the most important images. The technology is massively scaleable, making it capable of automatically processing large numbers of high resolution images.
• Definiens enables analysts to extract accurate information more efficiently.
  User friendly interfaces support the workflow of image analysts, enabling them to integrate additional data and imagery, and ensure high interoperability with GIS. For example, smart object-based editing greatly speeds up the review and upgrade process of automatically derived information.
• Definiens handles complex real world situations.
  The multi-scale object network can explore an image, the objects in it and the relations between them simultaneously on multiple levels. The technology can even detect anomalies due to the constellation of targets, like cars queuing up in a line in front of a building. At the same time, the Fuzzy Logic handles uncertainties due to sensors, varying operating conditions and vague models.
• Definiens fully supports a multi-source environment.
  Definiens' technology interprets all types and combinations of modern spaceborne and airborne sensors including panchromatic, multispectral and hyperspectral optical imagery, infrared, LIDAR, single channel, multifrequency and multipolarimetric SAR.
• Definiens extracts, measures and quantifies data directly.
  Definiens’ powerful data structures allow extraction of exactly the relevant data at the right time significantly reducing complex and time consuming post processing. The measurement and quantification can be fully automated delivering accurate, consistent results.
• Definiens provides reliable information for decision making.
  The easy-to-use knowledge base creates a fully transparent extraction process. The deterministic approach ensures all results are fully reproducible while the fuzzy classification provides the detection confidence for each object.
• Definiens integrates image intelligence across existing processes.
  Definiens' technology integrates easily into any intelligence environment. As a result, it supports end-to-end intelligence processes maximizing the combined value of intelligence from all sources. The seamless interoperability between applications for land, sea and air and between feature extraction and target recognition contributes to an unparalleled image-based situation awareness.
• Definiens will continue to lead the field.
  The unique patented software, built on an open standards-based architecture, represents a new paradigm in automated image analysis. Gerd Binnig and his team continue to lead the research and development at Definiens, ensuring that the technology will remain at the forefront of enterprise image intelligence.
