First launched in May 2000, '''eCognition''' introduced the computer method for extracting information from images using a hierarchy of image objects (groups of pixels) as opposed to traditional pixel processing methods. The technology, referred to as Cognition Network Technology, was realized by [[Gerd Binnig]] together with a team of researchers at Definiens AG in Munich, Germany. In June 2010, Trimble Navigation Ltd (NASDAQ: TRMB) acquired Definiens business assets<ref>Trimble / Definiens Joint Press Release: "Trimble Acquires Definiens’ Earth Sciences Business to Expand its GeoSpatial Portfolio". June 11, 2010. http://www.ecognition.com/sites/default/files/Trimble%20eCognition.pdf</ref> in earth sciences markets including eCognition software.
