Definiens Cognition Network Technology®

Definiens’ revolutionary, patented Definiens Cognition Network Technology is the basis of the company’s world leadership of the field of digital image analysis.

The Definiens Cognition Network Technology is the brainchild of the 1986 Nobel Laureate Prof. Gerd Binnig, Definiens' Founder and Head of Research, together with his pioneering engineering team. They set out to find a far more effective method of extracting intelligence from any digital data including text, images, numbers and tables. Definiens Cognition Network Technology is the outcome of their painstaking efforts.

The human mind is unique in its ability to make sense of objects, patterns and context, and to extract intelligence from this data. Conventional computer-based methods fall far short of this natural learning and cognitive ability.

To rise to the formidable challenge of emulating the human mind’s cognitive powers, Definiens made a radical departure from conventional approaches. By applying processes of iterative segmentation and classification, Definiens succeeded in developing a robust, sophisticated and powerful method of rendering knowledge in a semantic network - the "Definiens Cognition Network".

A quantum leap over legacy methods, Definiens Cognition Network Technology delivers the power and performance required to realize a new generation of cognitive applications. Just like the human mind, Definiens' Cognition Network Technology uses the color, shape, texture, and size of objects, as well as their specific context and relationships, to make sense of them.
