PCI Geomatics® Certified by Definiens to Deliver eCognition Training

Richmond Hill, Ontario/Munich Germany, February 16, 2004 - PCI Geomatics® and Definiens are pleased to announce that instruction for eCognition, the popular object oriented image classification software from Definiens, is now available from certified PCI Geomatics training professionals. This official recognition allows PCI Geomatics to provide user training for eCognition software alongside PCI's other courses for their leading earth observation-based geomatics solutions, including Geomatica 9 and OrthoEngine.

"The same professional training techniques that help Geomatica users become more productive are now being applied to eCognition," states Sean Borman, Customer Support and Training Manager for PCI Geomatics. "By providing customers with this new learning opportunity at our modern training facilities, our instructors can enhance a session's overall value; for example, by combining eCognition and Geomatica lessons."

Certified eCognition courses presented by PCI Geomatics help clients discover the eCognition work environment, its principal features, and its basic procedures. PCI Geomatics and Definiens are also committed to assisting eCognition users who may have completed introductory training by offering opportunities to develop and share new project approaches. Advanced and customized training developed by PCI Geomatics will provide eCognition users with in-depth instruction on new procedures and productivity methods, often using client-supplied data and project examples. Courses will be offered at one of PCI Geomatics' training facilities, though customized training at alternative locations can be arranged through PCI Geomatics.

Definiens has provided solutions for the geomatics and earth observation market for over five years. A strategic software and services supplier to customers in the business, government and education sectors, Definiens's eCognition software offers a unique approach to image classification. Known simply as "Object Oriented Image Analysis", eCognition makes image classification more intelligent, more accurate, and more efficient.

PCI Geomatics provides training for all of its software products, including OrthoEngine photogrammetry software and Geomatica, the company's "all-in-one" geomatics solution. Geomatica 9 Version 9.1, the most complete geospatial software solution for remote sensing, GIS, photogrammetry, and map production, began shipping to customers in January 2004 and is functionally interoperable with eCognition software. New 2004 courses schedules for PCI Geomatics software, eCognition training, and other learning opportunities can be found on the PCI Geomatics web site: www.pcigeomatics.com.
