is a searchable database of free modules, advanced solutions,
and links to compatible products, manufacturers, and consultants.
This database automatically connects you to the largest network
of imaging software users in the world, all supporting applications
using the Image-Pro Plus platform. You can also communicate
directly with hundreds of your colleagues via the Image-Pro
Plus email Users Group, a great forum to discuss image analysis
techniques with other experts in your industry. Image-Pro
Plus is backed by a worldwide dealer network that provides
personalized support wherever you are. These trained professionals
are available to assist you with individual application, configuration,
and technical questions.

Capture:
Acquire images easily from video, digital
cameras, scanners, scientific instruments and image databases.
Comprehensive file format and device support, including support
for today's most advanced digital cameras, sophisticated image
capture cards, TWAIN, Video-for-Windows (VFW), and scanner
devices, provide unparalleled compatibility between Image-Pro
Plus and other applications and devices. Visit Media Cybernetics'
driver support page for the latest list of supported acquisition
hardware.

Capture
and process a sequence of images using the sequencer tool.
Use the Sequencer to easily acquire, create, and playback
a sequence of images. The improved Sequencer contains additional
playback options and the ability to delete or add frames anywhere
in a sequence. It is fully integrated and supports all Image-Pro
Plus Filters.
Use one program for all your color and gray scale imaging
needs. Image-Pro provides full support of 8-, 12-, and 16-bit
gray scale and 24-, 36-, and 48-bit color images, as well
as, 32-bit floating point images.
Work more effectively with color images. Color segmentation
tools allow you to interactively separate objects or features
from the background based on color characteristics using a
new histogram-based tab dialog. In addition, a color-cube
based color separation tab dialog allows you to create multiple
ranges and select colors for each range. With these tools,
you can select and apply multiple color ranges from either
the histogram or color-cube dialogs.

Process:
Process images to guarantee high quality,
accuracy and reproducible results. Use equalization, background
subtraction, correction, and field flattening methods to enhance
images. Filtering functions will sharpen, soften, blur, or
enhance edges. Separate touching or overlapping objects, and
perform morphometric processing. Execute complex image manipulations
that are possible only in the frequency domain with high-speed
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operations.
Measure:
Use Image-Pro Plus for simple manual
measurements to complex automated measurements. Absolute spatial
calibration, closely coupled with your image acquisition device,
assures the most accurate measurement data.
Advanced filtering and segmentation techniques help separate
overlapping objects, complete grain boundaries, and recognize
clusters. Once segmented, each grouping can be color-coded
for quick visual identification and class verification. You'll
be able to easily acquire an image of an object, define features
in the sample, and automatically take measurements on selected
features such as best-fit arc, best-fit circle, and best-fit
line. Unlike manual or other tedious methods, Image-Pro Plus
will quickly calculate length, radius, diameter, and distance
between feature measurements.
In addition, optional pass/fail measurement routines can be
recorded in a macro for future playback. Once these macros
are recorded, Image-Pro Plus plays them back whenever needed
making it easier and much faster to perform quality assurance
testing.
Image-Pro Plus' Caliper tool detects edges, measures distances,
and more. The Caliper tool allows you to automatically locate
edges along straight or irregular lines and circles. No longer
having to rely on manual methods, this tool can automatically
detect and measure distances between edges. In addition, the
number of edges or spans between edges can be reported, making
any changes or defects easily identifiable.
Add densitometry with the click of a mouse. Whether you need
absorption or reflection measurements, Image-Pro Plus performs
equally well. Our calibration routine takes into account of
all your system variables, providing true absolute optical
density measurements.
Analyze:
Test, compare and visualize your data
for maximum results. Collect and visualize your data using
scattergrams, histograms, line profiles, and psuedocolor.
Image-Pro's solutions don't stop there. You can also add,
subtract, or mask images with Boolean or arithmetic functions,
or use powerful geometric transforms for spatial manipulations.
For convenient archiving, documentation and further statistical
analyses, send results to Excel or other spreadsheets via
Direct Data Export.
View image intensity in 3-D. For improved data visualization,
the Surface Plot tool allows you to display image intensity
in a full color 3-dimensional plot. With this tool, you can
rotate, tilt, colorize, and wireframe the plots to aid in
data visualization, and the plot can easily be exported to
the Report Generator or your printer.
Archive:
Organize your images and data more efficiently.
The built-in Image-Pro Plus Database provides you with a powerful
tool for acquiring, organizing, storing, retrieving, and sending
your images. The Query Records dialog allows you to perform
a search with multiple parameters.
Data entry is easy with the new drop-down choices, which can
be pre-defined or expandable by the user. User-defined custom
data fields can attach your specific measurement analysis
and data to each image record. Annotate your image with non-destructive
overlays, which can be saved with the image and recalled later.
Communicate:
Let Image-Pro Plus connect you to the
rest of the world. Share your images and data with your colleagues
on the Internet within the Image-Pro Plus application. Communicate
easily and quickly with popular word processors, spreadsheets,
publishing environments, and electronic media.
Produce professional documents and research reports. For printed
output, the Report Generator allows you to create custom formatted
reports with images, data, and text. Images can be inserted
into your reports with or without overlay data. In addition,
images, data, and text are easily sized and formatted to your
specifications.
Customize:
Build customized applications and automate
functions with the included Auto-Pro macro creation features.
These powerful built-in functions let you compress lengthy
operational sequences into a single key-stroke or mouse click,
so you can complete your projects faster. Record sessions
and play them back. Integrate and customize macros with Visual
Basic or Visual C++ to build applications to solve your specific
imaging needs.
Extend and customize Image-Pro Plus to fit your needs with
the freely available SDK. The Image-Pro Plus Software Development
Kit (SDK) offers a powerful development environment for OEMs,
systems integrators, and end-user/programmers to create tailored
versions of the industry standard application for analytical
imaging. Unlike programming toolkits, the SDK offers a proven
host environment that can be easily and quickly customized
to solve specific imaging applications without starting from
scratch, thereby reducing development risk and cost.
System Requirements:
- Intel® Pentium-class or AMD Athlon-class processor
- Microsoft® Windows® 98SE, ME, NT4sp6a, 2K, or XP
- Windows compatible mouse, keyboard and CD-ROM drive
- 128MB or more system memory (RAM) - for program and operating system
operation only. More memory may be required (and is recommended) for
processing large image data sets or for use with additional plug-in modules.
Greater RAM memory will increase processing speed and decrease disk swap
access
- 82MB free hard disk space - for program only. Image and data storage
requires more space
- A VGA (or better) 24-Bit color graphics display
