DualAlign Intros New Image Registration and Recognition Software

DualAlign, a provider of image intelligence technologies, has reportedly developed image registration and recognition software - i2k Align- that helps professionals automatically register and stitch images even if the originals were taken from different camera systems.

 

According to Charles Stewart, DualAlign’s CSO, “i2k Align is the most sophisticated software package in the world for registering and aligning two-dimensional images and for constructing multi-image montages.”

 

Officials say that this fully automatic and robust software is promising to become the foundation for future innovations in medical, satellite and defense imaging applications.

 

In medical imaging for example, the software enables a doctor to align retinal images to detect glaucoma in a patient. In commercial photography, this may allow a photographer to take multiple images of a single place and convert it into one file for viewing.

 

The i2k Align technology is built on the powerful, new i2align image registration algorithm, which both decides whether or not two images overlap and computes the inter-image transformation (pixel location mapping function), so it is both a registration and recognition algorithm.

 

i2k Align comes packaged with four different software packages including Windows (XP and Vista) and Mac (OS X 10.4 and 10.5). Each software package includes an application programming interface (API) for custom software development. It helps professionals register and stitch images of varying scales or with physical changes or little overlap.

 

DualAlign has also announced a cloud computing panorama software service, i2k Quickage Mobile to provide anyone with access to email and a camera so they can capture, create and preserve beautiful composite images. DualAlign is also planning to introduce a social media plug-in to their service next month that will allow users to automatically share i2k Quickage Mobile panoramas with their social media sites like Facebook (News - Alert) and Flickr.
