by Dear community,
On behalf of a client, I am trying estimate the number of users for various
image processing applications.
I would really appreciate if you could help me since your are hands-on users
with knowledge about the below adressed issues. Other relevant comments,
rumours, tips&hints are also most welcome.
I need information about approx. number of users for the following
applications (especially Europe & N-America):
Development Environments
- AVS (Advanced Visual Systems)
- WiT (Logical Vision/Coreco subsidary)
- KHOROS (Kh*Research)
- HIPS (SharpImage Software)
- Dynamic Imager/MTIP (Dynamic Imaging)
- IDL, Interactive Data Language (Research Systems)
- MatLab Image Processing Toolbox (Mathworks)
Do you know about other "obvious" competitors to the above programs
(commercial codes)?
You may also have some knowledge about these Object Libraries
- Leadtool (LEAD Technologies)
- PIKS (PixelSoft)
- SAPERA etc. (Coreco)
- ILIB Imaging Libraries (Invention Ltd.)
- XITE (University of Oslo)
- AdOculus (The Imaging Source)
Furthermore, if you have other details regarding the below topics, it will
help me even more:
1. Market share/penetration
- The company's turnover and %-turnover related to software sales
2. Competitor market strategy
a. Target market (typical segments covered, e.g. medical, remote sensing,
GIS, etc)
b. Distribution (direct sales, distributor, VAR, OEM)
c. Pricing (commercial, academic, single-user, multiple, site, lease,
maintenance)
d. Distributor royalty
3. Other sources I can use to get relevant market information, analysis
reports, etc.
(yes I have tried the standard research companies such as Gartner Group,
Frost&Sullivan, etc.)
Best regards,
Frode Iglebek
