Definiens Developer 7 - User Guide
2 Basic Concepts
2.11 Definiens Application
A Definiens application can extend each of Definiens Enterprise Image Intelligence
platform products providing industry- or user-specific ruleware and functions.
Definiens applications enlarge the capabilities of both the Definiens Enterprise Image
Intelligence (EII) Clients (Definiens Developer, Architect, Analyst, Viewer) and the
processing environment Definiens eCognition Server.
Definiens applications enable users of clients such as Definiens Architect to create
ready-to-use solutions for their specific image analysis problems. Started with one of the
Definiens Image Intelligence Clients, an application completes the client functionalities
by using particular ruleware, controls, and workflows needed for industry- or userspecific
tasks.
Example: If you start a Definiens client like Developer, Architect, Analyst, or Viewer
together with, for example, ABC application, you can use specific ABC functionalities for
your particular ABC tasks. If you start a client with another XYZ application, you benefit
from other specific XYZ functionalities needed for your particular XYZ tasks.
Definiens offers a range of applications. They are optional and licensed through
application-specific licenses.
