Introduction to Workpace Automation
Objective: Learn how to automate analysis using eCognition Server
- The set up of “subroutines” including how and where to insert workspace automation algorithms
- Module 1: Overview of the different functionalities of the individual workspace automation algorithms
- Module 2: Tiling and stitching using workspace algorithms

Introduction to condition-based object merging and growing
Objective: Learn how to use the algorithm 'image object fursion' from three case examples:
- Case 1: how to set conditions according the resulting object after the fusion
- Case 2: how to set the parameters to fuse only those objects which have a high ‘relative border’ to each other., but not isolated objects
- Case 3: how to fuse only those objects which have similar values for a feature (i.e. with a similar elevation)
Guided Tours
Guided tours are designed for use together with eCognition Developer. Step-by-step instructions guide the user through the creation of a specific image analysis solution ruleset.
If you do not have a eCognition software license, simply download the Quickstart package.
Guided Tour 2: Mapping impervious surface
One step beyond basic, hands-on exercises of a more complex image analysis routine. [read more]
- Use thematic layers (shape files) for segmentation and classification
- Work with multiple levels to use information from different levels of detail
- Introduction to performance optimization techniques
- Result optimization using different features and multiple condition
- Introduction to batch-processing
