Enterprise Image Intelligence™ company, today unveiled its Definiens Extension for
ArcGIS®. Highlighted on the opening day of the 27th ESRI User Conference in
extension allows organizations to combine ESRI’s leading geographic information system
(GIS) technology, ArcGIS®, with the Definiens Enterprise Image Intelligence™ Suite of
products to better leverage the value of information contained in earth observation and
remote sensing images. Having joined the ESRI business partner program as an ArcGIS
Integration Partner, Definiens provides a simple-to-use iterative workflow for the ArcGIS
environment to enrich GIS applications with additional intelligence from images, producing
accurate and detailed map data in a standardized and cost-efficient way.
“Most GIS applications available today cannot exploit all the information contained in images.
Extracting information and fusing it with geospatial data has been simply too difficult and
time consuming. Combining GIS information management with intelligent, highly automated
context-based image analysis brings remarkable benefits to GIS users. The integration
between Definiens and ESRI saves organizations time and resources while unlocking the
value of the rich information residing in remote sensing and earth observation images,”
commented Rene Hermes, Vice President of Marketing at Definiens.
Definiens Extension for ArcGIS supports GIS users by improving their efficiency, providing
deeper insights and faster mapping capabilities. This technology provides organizations with
an advanced, out-of-the-box solution for fast and intelligent feature extraction, object
recognition and change detection. In addition, data management connectivity enables
Definiens’ applications to interact directly with the geodatabase. ESRI customers can enrich
their GIS applications with detailed, accurate and area-wide geospatial information from all
modern remote sensing sensors such as aerial, satellites, SAR, Lidar and hyperspectral
sensors, etc.
