The CogniSign Intelligent Image Recognition Technology software uses principles from cognitive psychology to emulate specific human image recognition processes. The result is a sophisticated computational model describing how visual memory and serial attention cooperate in the human brain. This model is based on nearly a decade of research.

This cognitive approach has been reduced to Recognition Kernel software, which can establish similarity between two non-identical images in a human like fashion. As when humans view images, it is sensitive to some discrepancies in color, shape, and viewing perspective, and is highly tolerant to variation in position and scale.
