Company info sheet for:

 


"Amerinex Applied Imaging, Inc. (AAI) develops and markets software products that employ
computer vision technology. AAI's first commercial offering in 1987, the KBVision System, was the
most innovative and advanced imaging toolset ever introduced commercially. It is widely used in
image understanding research, and has been embedded into third party systems developed by AAI
and its OEM customers. AAI's products and technology have established it as the leading software
developer of image understanding tools and solutions."

"In recognition of AAI's expertise, the Company has received government and commercial contracts
to develop imaging software systems. One such U.S. Government contract, awarded by the
Advanced Research Projects Agency, calls for AAI to develop the IUE (Image Understanding
Environment), an advanced system for government-sponsored research. AAI was also selected by a
major stock exchange to develop stock certificate reading software that uses image understanding
rather than template matching to analyze free-form documents. Other examples of imaging
applications with which AAI has experience include feature-based detection, tracking and 3D
analysis and visualization."

"AAI has also developed the VisionTutor System, a computer vision course that teaches the basics,
as well as advanced concepts of image processing and image understanding. The VisionTutor
materials can be used in either a college course or as training in a company setting. This product is
now an option to the Aphelion product, and is available on the same delivery CD-ROM."

"In 1995, AAI established a strategic partnership with a French company, ADCIS (Advanced
Concepts in Imaging Software), to develop Aphelion software. Aphelion combines and enhances
the best technology available to both companies, including key elements of AAI's KBVision
System, , the X-LIM morphology software from the Paris School of Mines in France, and both
companies' expertise in Windows and UNIX systems. The two companies will collaborate on other
products and projects, and cooperate in the world-wide marketing of their products."

"The combination of AAI's technology and market focus, its commercial and government
relationships, its strategic collaboration with ADCIS, and its professional staff of software engineers
and imaging scientists will enable AAI to remain a leader in the development of imaging tools and
applications."
