Cognition Network Technology (CNT), also known as Definiens Cognition Network Technology,
To emulate the human mind's cognitive powers, Definiens used patented image segmentation and classification processes, and developed a method to render knowledge in a semantic network. CNT examines pixels not in isolation, but in context. It builds up a picture iteratively, recognizing groups of pixels as objects. It uses the color, shape, texture and size of objects as well as their context and relationships to draw conclusions and inferences, similar to human analysis.
History
In 1994 Professor Gerd Binnig founded Definiens. CNT was first available with the launch of the eCognition software in May 2000. In June 2010,
Software
Definiens Tissue Studio
Definiens Tissue Studio is a digital pathology image analysis software application based on CNT.[5] The intended use of Definiens Tissue Studio is for biomarker translational research in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples which have been treated with immunohistochemical staining assays, or hematoxylin and eosin (H&E).[6]
The central concept behind Definiens Tissue Studio is a user interface that facilitates
eCognition
The eCognition suite offers three components which can be used stand-alone or in combination to solve image analysis tasks. eCognition Developer is a development environment for object-based image analysis. It is used in earth sciences to develop rule sets (or applications) for the analysis of remote sensing data. eCognition Architect enables non-technical users to configure, calibrate and execute image analysis workflows created in eCognition Developer. eCognition Server software provides a processing environment for batch execution of image analysis jobs.
eCognition software is utilized in numerous remote sensing and geospatial application scenarios and environments, using a variety of data types:
- Generic: Rapid Mapping, Change Detection, Object Recognition
- By environment: Diverse Landcover Mapping, Urban Analysis (i.e. disaster management, harbor monitoring).
- Other: Defense, security, atmosphere and climate
The online eCognition community was launched in July 2009 and had 2813 members as of July 9, 2010. Membership is distributed globally and user conferences are held regularly, the last having taken place in November 2009 in Munich, Germany. The bi-annual GEOBIA (
