== Software ==
The eCognition Suite offers three components which can be used stand-alone or in combination to solve image analysis tasks. eCognition Developer is a development environment for object-based image analysis. It is used in earth sciences to develop rule sets (or applications) for the analysis of remote sensing data. eCognition Architect enables non-technical users to configure, calibrate and execute image analysis workflows created in eCognition Developer. eCognition Server software provides a processing environment for batch execution of image analysis jobs.
 
=== Definiens Tissue Studio ===
== Industrial Applications ==
eCognition software is utilized in numerous [[remote sensing]] and geospatial application scenarios and environments, using a variety of data types.
 
''Definiens Tissue Studio'' is a [[digital pathology]] image analysis software application based on CNT.<ref>http://www.definiens.com/technology_41_1_4.html</ref>
=== Sample application types ===
The intended use of Definiens Tissue Studio is for biomarker [[translational research]] in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples which have been treated with [[Immunohistochemistry|immunohistochemical]] staining assays, or [[H&E stain|hematoxylin and eosin]] (H&E).<ref>http://www.definiens.com/tissuestudio</ref>
 
The central concept behind Definiens Tissue Studio is a user interface that facilitates [[machine learning]] from example digital histopathology images in order to derive an image analysis solution suitable for the measurement of [[biomarkers]] and/or histological features within pre-defined regions of interest on a cell-by-cell basis, and within sub-cellular compartments.<ref>http://www.definiens.com/tissuestudio</ref> The derived image analysis solution is then automatically applied to subsequent digital images in order to objectively measure defined sets of multiparametric image features. These data sets are used for further understanding the underlying biological processes that drive [[cancer]] and other diseases.<ref>http://laboratorian.advanceweb.com/Article/The-Image-Analysis-Challenge.aspx</ref> Image processing and data analysis are performed either on a local desktop computer workstation, or on a server grid.<ref>http://www.definiens.com/tissuestudio</ref>
''Generic'': Rapid Mapping, Change Detection, Object Recognition
 
''By Environment'': Diverse Landcover Mapping, Urban Analysis (i.e. impervious surface area analysis for taxation, property assessment for insurance, inventory of green infrastructure), Forestry (i.e. biomass measurement, species identification, firescar measurement), Agriculture (i.e. regional planning, precision farming, crisis response), Marine and Riparian (i.e. ecosystem evaluation, disaster management, harbor monitoring).

The online eCognition community was launched in July 2009 and had 2813 members as of July 9, 2010. Membership is distributed globally and user conferences are held regularly, the last having taken place in November 2009 in Munich, Germany. The bi-annual GEOBIA (Geographic Object Based Image Analysis) conference is heavily attended by eCognition users, with the majority of presentations based on eCognition software.
