nui™ technology focuses on storing the image in a way that drastically reduces the time of retrieval for end user access. nui™ technology provides significant performance advantages as image file size approaches 2 gigabytes and shows no degradation in retrieval speed even when file size reaches terabytes in size.

Other technologies focus on the manipulation of images to address specific needs. Satellite imagery, for example, is geometrically distorted to match the surface of the earth, high-resolution photography of art is color balanced, and medical images are adjusted using contrast and brightness to make certain features more prominent. nui™ technology addresses these needs, and also assures that the resulting images, regardless of file size, can be read at practically real-time speed.
