About The Imaging Source
Image Processing
After natural language, the use of images is the second most important way of communicating for human beings. The area of image processing is correspondingly wide.
The hardware and software components that are manufactured by The Imaging Source serve to acquire, visualize, archive and analyze images. The most important areas of deployment are in industry, medicine, science and security.
In these areas in particular, image processing is currently in a state of transition that is characterized by the following three aspects:
Decreasing prices
In industry, medicine and science, image progressing has traditionally been seen as expensive. It is the goal of The Imaging Source to change this perception. Our weapon to achieve this goal is called "standardization": Only by standardizing is it possible to achieve low prices, simplicity and longevity.
Decreasing integration costs
Image processing is often perceived as being expensive because of complicated system integration, typically due to hardware and software components not having been designed with the goal of being compatible. Furthermore, system engineers are forced to work with inefficient and complicated software tools.
The development of our hardware components is driven by fifteen years of developing modern software components. This intimate interplay guarantees that our components work in perfect harmony and are thus a key element in our desire to lower integration costs.
New markets
Low prices and easy of use of our components enable our customers to build completely new products. Typically, such products - being a marriage of quality and low prices - are predestined to deploy low cost components.
