I2K Software Functionality Overview:

Overview: The objective of the I2K suite of tools is to research and develop solutions to real life problems in the application areas of machine vision, precision farming, land use and land cover classification, map analysis, geo-spatial information systems (GIS), synthetic aperture radar (SAR) target and multi-spectral scene modeling, video surveillance, bio-informatics, microscopy and medical image processing, and advanced sensor environments. The main goal of the I2K research and development is to automate information processing of repetitive, laborious and tedious analysis tasks and build user-friendly decision-making systems that operate in automated or semi-automated mode in a variety of applications. The development is based on theoretical foundations of image and video processing, computer vision, data fusion, statistical and spectral modeling, data mining and pattern recognition, software engineering and sensor design.

Software Description: This software contains (A) general tools and (B) custom-made tools for processing two-dimensional multivariate (multi-band) images, as well as, (C) software tools that operate with various hardware components, such as, spectral cameras, audio equipment and programmable MEMS sensors.
