Tools

The human eye is a highly developed tool for visual processing; when working with images and developing image analysis solutions it is essential to harness its natural capabilities whenever possible. At the same time, setting up and configuring specific algorithmic steps requires a wide range of detailed information. It is crucial to be able to access all information immediately and seamlessly.

By providing a comprehensive range of intuitive tools within Definiens Developer XD, setting up and reviewing an image analysis solution becomes straightforward. These tools make developing rule sets an interactive process. The user is provided with a real-time display of segmentation and classification results after each processing step and can retrieve crucial information easily, as the created image objects, tools and all related information are mutually linked.

The wide range of display options within the Image Viewing Pane is another powerful aspect of the program. Users can display images in any gray scale, any false color composite and with any contrast enhancement. At the same time, they can be overlaid with the contour lines of image objects, classification label colors and can even be rendered with thematic information.

Each development step, as well as the final exploration of segmentation and analysis results, is supported by both the immediate availability of any information and by the extensive visualization capabilities.
