PDT and Digital Image Processing

As Digital Image Processing companies seek a greater return on investment...

Imagery analysts and creative professionals such as artists, designers and publishers are looking for new ways to improve their current return on investment. Increased competition and a slower economy have resulted in prices being driven down, and a reduction on the expected turnaround time between request and delivery are driving the need for improved workflows and increased efficiency. Key areas of possible cost reduction include improving image management and shortening the creation and editing workflow processes. The growth in web publishing and handheld devices has also raised the profile of cross media publishing tools and online collaboration - the idea of creating once and using multiple times to achieve a greater ROI.

Demand for more intuitive methods of viewing and editing are on the rise...

Increasing bandwidth has enabled larger, more complex images to be accessed by more and more individuals via the Internet, while higher resolution hardware such as digital cameras and satellite equipment are resulting in substantial growth in the digital photography market as a whole. As more high-density documents are converted from hardcopy to softcopy, there is a growing demand for online and local viewing and presentation tools that help a wide range of people to interact with larger amounts of information in an intuitive manner.

Introducing PDT - An intuitive viewing and editing technology by IDELIX

Pliable Display Technology (PDT) by IDELIX Software Inc. is an advanced virtual lens interface that enables faster and easier comprehension of images. PDT provides both an efficient and intuitive alternative to zoom, pan, and inset window viewing tools for people working with digital images. Whether it is used for image management, viewing, editing or presentation purposes, the unique real time detail-in-context functionality of PDT makes it easier for users to work within the spatial limitations of a display screen.

PDT: Supporting detailed inspection and viewing tasks while helping users maintain sight of the entire image

PDT enables people working with digital images to perform key tasks more efficiently, eliminating repetitive zoom and pan activities out of the workflow process. By creating a magnified portion of the imagery under the lens in real-time, the user will have the power of image analysis, in-place editing, measurement, annotation, quality control and vector collection within the lens without losing sight of the surrounding information as they would using a coonventional zoom. It is applicable to both local and online presentation of digital images.
