Partnering with developers

Your image analysis algorithms on Wolution

Wolution connects developers and users

Scientific image analysis is an active domain of research. Professional researchers in image analysis labs around the world develop algorithms for many specific purposes. However the same image analysis problems are often solved repeatedly because such work is difficult to share. On the other hand non-expert image analysis users are unable to get their problem solved and unaware of recent developments that could help them. A lot of valuable work and time is lost in that way. Wolution offers a way how expert image analysis algorithms, even for highly specialized applications, can be used easily by non-expert users. Here is how Wolution Partnering works:

Share and commercialize your work

Profit from your expertise

Sharing your algorithm and making it usable by non-expert users can be a lot of work. Having a financial incentive to do this work overall benefits the research community. It motivates researchers and engineers to solve problems of common interest and to do so as well as possible. With Wolution you (or your institution) earn a percentage of the price Wolution charges its users for each image he or she analyzes with your algorithm. Wolution gets the other part for user interface, computing, data storage, billing, marketing and customer service.

We make sharing your algorithm easy.

Wolution does all the non-scientific work for you, so that you can focus fully on research and development. In particular Wolution provides the following services for you and your algorithms:

User interface

Wolution has a very comfortable and intuitive user interface based on modern web application technologies. Users can adjust the parameters of algorithms, pipe them together, test them on images, and run large scale analyses of thousands of images or more. All this without any programming.

Cloud computing

Data storage and computing is done by a dynamic computing cloud that can provide massive computation power if needed by the user. If your algorithm is of Machine Learning type, it may require GPUs to run efficiently, which we also provide.

Marketing

A big problem in image analysis is that algorithms developed in one place often do not reach the people who could use them. This is where we come in. Our marketing team contacts potential users and informs them about their possibilities with Wolution. They will learn about your algorithms and use them if they matches their needs.

Billing

Wolution bills the user for image analysis per image, depending on the total amount of images analyzed and the complexity of the algorithm. Wolution gets part of the money and the other part goes to you, the developer of the algorithm.

How to get my algorithm included in Wolution

Which algorithms are interesting?

Wolution is interested in algorithms that its users, usually researchers and engineers, will find useful. Even if only a few people in the world need your algorithm, it can still be valuable to share it with Wolution.

What to do next?

If you have created algorithms in the past that you think can be useful to other people, or if you have ideas for new algorithms, do not hesitate to contact us at contact@wolution.com. We will give you immediate non-committal feedback. If we agree to work together, you provide the code, and our team includes it in the Wolution computing engine for free.
