What makes Into special

Industrial-grade reliability

Into has been tested in serious industrial applications running 24/7 for years. We regard memory leaks as fatal bugs that cannot be fixed by restarting the application.

Phenomenal productivity

Imagine a multi-threaded image analysis server in less than twenty lines of C++. No kidding. Into has also brought code reuse to a new level: every operation shares a simple, generic interface, which makes every module compatible with every other module. Into-compatible modules enjoy instant JavaScript support, which means a lot faster prototyping and application development.

Superior scalability

Ydin, our innovative asynchronous execution engine automatically runs your software in parallel, and load can even be shared between networked machines. You can run parts of an analysis application in a cell phone, while other parts are running on a server just as if everything was a single application.

Portability

Into runs on a wide variety of computing platforms. Prebuilt packages are available for Linux, Windows, and OS X.

A modern C++ API

Into makes heavy use of C++'s sophisticated features such as generic algorithms and templates to create efficient software with as few code as possible.

Not just an API

Into features an execution engine that frees you from the sequential logic of traditional function call based APIs. Ultimately, all you need is to draw a schematic diagram of your software, without a single line of program code.

Professional user interfaces

Into is built using Qt, and naturally uses Qt for user interfaces. There is no extra work in integrating analysis and UI, and all data formats are already compatible. Into provides UI components that can be used as building blocks for your desktop application and integrates with Qt Quick for mobile development.

Effortless networking

Into comes with an HTTP library that makes it easy to build client and server applications. Passing data between machines is as easy as passing data within a machine. A web browser is a very suitable user interface for an Into application.

Wide applicability

Into has already been used for industrial visual inspection, people tracking, 3D measurements, image categorization, robot control etc. Its plug-in based architecture and powerful interfaces make it easy to make just about any other software Into-compatible. For example, OpenCV integration is a built-in feature. Our target is to make Into the de facto standard of building intelligent applications.

Free, in both senses of the word

Into is free software, licensed under the Affero GPL 3 license. A special exception of the license makes it possible to link Into to almost any free software, not just GPL. A royalty-free commercial license is available for proprietary applications.

Maintained and supported

Maintaining and developing a software platform means a lot of work. It takes money, dedicated personnel and long-term commitment. Intopii is dedicated to the task as a company, and we own the copyright of the code base. Our personnel takes pride in making Into simply the best software platform there is for creating intelligent applications. Our support services are available to both open source and closed source developers.
