BUILD IMAGING SOLUTIONS
WITH APHELION™ SDK
Aphelion Imaging Software Suite includes three base products: Aphelion Lab for non-experts in the field of image processing and analysis, Aphelion Dev for researchers and developers of applications with image analysis content, and Aphelion SDK for programmers who wish to quickly develop and deploy imaging applications using Visual C++, Visual Basic or C# in the Visual Studio environment.
Aphelion SDK includes native libraries (DLLs) and .NET components fully compatible with Windows® environments built on the Microsoft® .NET Framework.

The .NET components are organized as five major component sets, as follows:
Acquisition: To capture images from a camera (IEEE1394 and DirectShow drivers)
Visualization: To display both still and live images, and Aphelion ObjectSets, and to annotate images and graphics
Processing: To process 2D and 3D images, and Aphelion ObjectSets
Analysis: To compute measurements (fully calibrated)
Management: To manage images and Aphelion ObjectSets
The Aphelion .NET components provide important, new capabilities, such as:
Larger Images - Support for 64-bit environments enables processing images too large for 32-bit memory addressing
Faster Performance - Optimized data addressing improves processing speed
Higher Productivity - Improved design of classes is easier to use (than ActiveX components) in advanced programming environments such as Visual C++ or C#
Full compatibility with 3rd party Microsoft® .NET components enables development of powerful applications that require more than image processing functionality
High quality design, with examples and comprehensive documentation, enables shorter learning curves and faster product deployment
Capability to process very large 2D and 3D images enables practical solutions for more image domains
High performance imaging libraries enables higher productivity applications
Ability to address applications such as high-throughput microscopy and 3D tomography applications
