Understanding Images

Definiens is the No.1 Enterprise Image Intelligence Company for analyzing and interpreting images on every scale, from microscopic cell structures to satellite images.

We help customers to extract intelligence from images, delivering deeper insights, faster results and better decisions.

Our unique Definiens Cognition Network Technology is fundamentally different from conventional data analysis. Developed by Gerd Binnig, the 1986 Nobel Laureate for Physics, and his team, it emulates human cognitive processes, extracting intelligence from digital data, such as images. The technology is context-based and identifies objects rather than simply examining individual pixels. It then makes inferences about those objects by looking at them in context.

A huge range of applications

Definiens' technology can be applied in every industry where image analysis is critical, although we have primarily focused on life and earth sciences.

Pharmaceutical and biotech companies use Definiens' technology to reduce risk, late-stage attrition and time to market. Definiens' technology enables scientists to analyze and correlate image information all along the drug development chain, supporting translational medicine.

Organizations involved in geospatial intelligence and remote sensing use Definiens' technology to automate feature extraction, object detection and target recognition. The technology ensures consistent quality, extraordinary detail, high throughput and all at significantly lower cost.

The development platform

Our Definiens Enterprise Image Intelligence™ Suiteis a powerful, scalable platform for developing a full range of image analysis applications - from single user viewing and analysis, through semi-automated click-and-classify, to lights-out automated high-volume batch processing.

The platform is designed to be easy-to-use. Modular ruleware and a clear graphic interface enables people with no programming skills to build powerful image analysis applications. Experienced programmers have full access to the Definiens Cognition Network Technology, enabling them to build innovative applications.
