Trimble eCognition is a sophisticated AI-powered geospatial software platform that transforms raw geospatial input into actionable geo-information. Using patented object-based image analysis technology , it segments and classifies imagery, point clouds, and vector data by evaluating contextual relationships between objects—colors, shapes, textures, and spatial position. The software is highly customizable, allowing users to craft custom rule-based workflows tailored to specific analysis goals. It supports multi-source data integration, enabling the fusion of raster, vector, and point cloud data. Python integration further enhances its flexibility, letting users automate and refine processes with advanced scripting. eCognition Server software provides a processing environment for the batch execution of image analysis jobs. eCognition Developer or eCognition Architect users submit a workspace to eCognition Server which will then automatically process all submitted data in batch mode. You can easily process very large scenes, batch process vast amounts of data, easily administer and monitor all processes, freely scale your production system, and embed your image analysis task into existing workflows. Trimble eCognition Server is built for scalability and speed. It’s a high-performance batch processing engine that executes image analysis jobs across large datasets using grid computing. Designed for enterprise-level deployments, the Server can be installed on one or more machines in a network, with each acting as a processing node. This setup allows organizations to process thousands of images simultaneously, drastically reducing turnaround time for large-scale projects. The Server works in tandem with Developer or Architect clients, executing rule sets and workflows created in those environments. It’s ideal for institutions and companies that need consistent, automated processing—such as national mapping agencies, environmental monitoring programs, or commercial remote sensing firms. With support for cloud-based workflows and centralized license management, eCognition Server ensures robust performance and streamlined operations across teams. Note: The NPO license is geared toward registered non-profit organizations working on humanitarian, environmental, or community-based projects. It enables NGOs and similar groups to leverage eCognition’s powerful geospatial tools for mission-driven work.
