Imagenomic Press Release

Monterey, CA, October 12, 2005: Imagenomic announced this week at the Mobile Imaging Summit (Americas) the release of several new Noiseware image enhancement products aimed at the exploding mobile imaging and camera phone markets. With over 300M unit sales in 2005, camera-equipped cell phones are the fastest growing digital capture device on the market, and are forecasted by Future Image, sponsors of the Mobile Imaging Summit series, to become the most popular consumer electronics product in history before the end of the decade.

Addressing the ever-increasing Mega Pixel capture capability with the bandwidth-constraints of over-the-air wireless transmission, Noiseware ME (Mobile Edition) is the initial implementation of Imagenomic’s popular noise removal engine for Symbian based camera phones, including the Nokia Series 60. Noiseware ME brings digital still camera (DSC) picture quality and order of magnitude compression benefits within a seamless and transparent end-user experience.

For third-party software implementations, camera device imbedding, and network-based photo service solutions, the Noiseware ME Software Development Kit (SDK) extends the benefits of Noiseware’s processing speed, picture quality and overall ease of use into these diverse environments.

Through these flexible design and implementation options, Noiseware helps ensure a “cleaner camera phone ecosystem” with tangible benefits to end-users, OEMs and service providers alike.
To complement this strategic new direction for the company, Imagenomic is pleased to announce two Advisory Board appointments: Bob Goldstein, imaging industry expert and author, and Berge Ayvazian, EVP and Chief Research Officer, The Yankee Group. With the industry expertise and thought leadership that Bob and Berge bring to the company, Imagenomic is positioning for more “breakview” imaging innovations in the near future.
