Pinta 2.0-beta-5 released
We are happy to announce that a new version of our Automated Image Analysis SDK, Pinta (intopii.com/pinta), is out and available for download at intopii.com/en/products/pinta/download. Running now also on Mac, beta-5 comes with a load of improvements and new features.
Pinta is the fast and simple way to create high-performance applications that know what's in the image. It makes your applications able to classify, segment, and recognize images and videos based on their contents. Pinta comes with Trainer for creating analyzers and an API for integrating them with your software.
2.0-beta-5 boasts significant new features and improvements that make you able to create more powerful autonomous image analyzers with even less effort and time than before. These include newly written image cache that radically shortens learning time and reduces memory footprint when processing large amounts of image data, color correlogram features (see bit.ly/cuKk71 for an explanation) that enable your analyzers to understand spatial distribution of colors in the image (which color histogram, for example, does not allow), and feature combiner that allows analyzing multiple image features (such as texture and histograms) at the same time. The user interface of Pinta Trainer is now yet more intuitive and beautiful. We also trashed some features on the labeling side that made using Pinta more complicated while adding practically no value.
But what we are maybe the most excited about is the fact that Pinta now runs, in addition to Linux and Windows, also on Mac! We hope Mac developers will welcome the possibility to make their applications understand images using the unique, simple, and quick way Pinta offers.
There's one more thing we'd like to mention. Besides being a great product on its own, we think Pinta is a premium example of what can be created with Into - the most potent software framework for building cross-platform applications that leverage on computer vision and machine intelligence technologies. Into is currently in limited alpha phase but available on request for selected developers. We welcome applications at intopii.com/into.
That said, don't forget to get your hands on Pinta at intopii.com/en/products/pinta/download and get creative!
