Overview SDK - Automation API

The Automation API (application programming interfaces) is a component of the eCognition Developer software development kit (SDK). The Automation API can be used for automation of Trimble software and orchestrating the different processes.

This Automation API User Guide provides general instruction about the automation of Trimble software:

• Local automation of the Analysis Engine Software via the AMIEngine Interface. This allows you to embed the Analysis Engine Software into other software.
• Remote Processing via SOAP Interface. This enables you to provide functionality that can be, for instance, used in a script, in order to automate eCognition Server^®.
