Build Imaging Solutions With Aphelion™ SDK
Download the flyerVersion 4.0 of the Aphelion family of products includes three base products: Aphelion Lab for non-experts in the field of image processing and analysis, Aphelion Developer (projected release in Q2 2010) for researchers and developers of applications with image analysis content, and Aphelion SDK for programmers who wish to quickly develop and deploy imaging applications using Visual C++, Visual Basic or C# in the Visual Studio environment.
Aphelion SDK includes native libraries (DLLs), ActiveX components, and .NET components fully compatible with Windows® environments built on the Microsoft® .NET Framework.
Example of C# code based on the Aphelion SDK to load, display, and segment an image
The .NET components are organized as five major component sets, as follows:
Acquisition: To capture images from a camera (IEEE1394 and WDM drivers)
Visualization: To display both still and live images, and Aphelion ObjectSets, and to annotate images and graphics
Processing: To process 2D and 3D images, and Aphelion ObjectSets
Analysis: To compute measurements (fully calibrated)
Management: manage images and Aphelion ObjectSets
The Aphelion .NET components provide important, new capabilities, such as:
- Larger Images - Support for 64-bit environments enables processing images too large for 32-bit memory addressing
- Faster Performance - Optimized data addressing improves processing speed
- Higher Productivity - Improved design of classes is easier to use (than ActiveX components) in advanced programming environments such as Visual C++ or C#.
Main benefits of Aphelion SDK:
Full compatibility with 3rd party Microsoft® .NET components enables development of powerful applications that require more than image processing functionality
High quality design, with examples and comprehensive documentation, enables shorter learning curves and faster product deployment
Capability to process very large 2D and 3D images enables practical solutions for more image domains
High performance imaging libraries enables higher productivity applications
Ability to address applications such as high-throughput microscopy and 3D tomography applications
