Advanced Imaging Methodology Consultation (AIMC)

AIMC started off in 1994 as a freelance endeavor. The purpose is to provide non-trivial image processing consultation services to our clients. We have specialized in research and development of high-end image restoration and microscopy related processing applications. More then 12 years of experience in generic image processing ensure a high degree in expertise and lead to the development of well-known image processing products sold by our clients worldwide.
