The platform upgrade provides a more intuitive administrative console that features additional enhanced status and history tools. A newly added service mode provides developers with a choice between asynchronous and synchronous mode, simplifying the development testing process and enabling applications that require real-time production updates.

Extremely flexible and adaptable to most software environments, LTU engine/ON demand enables image matching and similarity search at exceptional speed and accuracy levels. The functionality delivers outstanding results despite cropping, sizing, rotation, perspective, compilations and image quality. LTU engine/ON demand has proven especially powerful for integration with mobile applications and image tracking solutions as well as applications for e-commerce, stock photography, media and publishing.

"Image recognition has finally come of age and we are pleased to offer a platform that makes it possible for developers to quickly build compelling applications equipped with these capabilities," said Alexandre Winter, CEO and co-founder of LTU technologies. "We look to the developer community to expand our technology and call on their creativity to push the envelope and build future applications in which image recognition is a critical component."

Pricing and Availability

LTU engine/ON demand is available on a per capacity, monthly, pricing model that is based on volume (amount of images in the database) and the number of queries made. The flexible pricing model allows organizations of all sizes access to the technology without major software or hardware investments, while the LTU developer network makes it possible for developers to integrate the technology risk-free while testing the integration and the actual value of the functionality to their specific application.
