During the year ended September 30, 2018, we recognized goodwill of $6.8 million and other intangible assets of $3.0 million resulting from one acquisition. In November 2017, we acquired Odos Imaging Limited (Odos), a Scottish technology company that provides three-dimensional, time-of-flight sensing systems for industrial imaging applications. This acquisition enables us to expand our existing capabilities by bringing 3-D time-of-flight sensor technology to industrial applications. We assigned the full amount of goodwill related to Odos to our Architecture & Software segment.

Computer software products represent costs of computer software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed. Computer software products amortization expense was $11.8 million in 2018, $9.8 million in 2017 and $11.5 million in 2016.
Estimated amortization expense is $25.4 million in 2019, $22.6 million in 2020, $21.6 million in 2021, $18.9 million in 2022 and $17.7 million in 2023.
We performed our annual evaluation of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for impairment as required by U.S. GAAP during the second quarter of 2018 and concluded that these assets are not impaired.
