Idée 223 Queen Street East Toronto, Ontario Canada M5A 1S2 416.860.0330 www.ideeinc.com |
back to top | |
| Idée turns complex algorithms into visual search tools, making images and video searchable. The software and services developed by Idée look inside visual content, analyzing the appearance and patterns in the pixels themselves. Idée’s software can index and search collections that grow into the billions of assets. Searching is based on appearance rather than using keywords, tags or meta-data.
Idée’s unique algorithms and services are used by some of the world’s leading firms, including Adobe Systems, Digg, and Associated Press. They are the foundation for the world's first image identification based internet search engine, TinEye. Given an image to search for, TinEye tells you where and how that image appears all over the web—even if it has been modified. |

Massive Software PO Box 5456 Auckland 1141 New Zealand 310.837.7878 / +64 9 303 0030 www.massivesoftware.com |
back to top | |
| Massive is an AI authoring software utilized by engineers, filmmakers, and other users for creating and visualizing large scale, complex, agent-based simulations. Massive simulations may include agents of any kind, from humans to vehicles, animals, birds or insects. Massive is ideally suited for real world life safety, transportation, environmental planning and urban infrastructure design. Massive Agents™ utilize a fuzzy logic AI “brain” and simulated natural senses of sight, sound, touch, and memory. Agents interpret and react autonomously to the world around them based on what they see and experience, enabling Massive simulations to recreate the complexity and subtleties that characterize real-world interaction with the environment. The intuitive interface of Massive allows artists to define - and interactively fine tune - Massive Agent brains, creating realistic behaviors and results. | |||
