arivis Vision4D 3.6

Take a Deep Dive into Your Scientific Imaging Data

arivis Vision4D 3.5 already proved that you do not need to be an expert in bioinformatics to unleash the power of machine learning (ML) for advanced results in less time. The newest version of our leading software platform for scientific image visualization and analysis goes even further. Vision4D 3.6 for the first time features a seamless and flexible workflow for deep learning (DL) applications with multilayered neural networks for faster-than-ever results from your valuable data. Well-trained deep learning algorithms can save you precious time and effort when annotating and segmenting even the most demanding samples from your instrument such as 3D FIB-SEM and CryoEM volume imaging data. Deep Learning can speed up the time required for tedious analysis tasks from several weeks to mere hours, freeing up valuable resources in your research lab for more important tasks.

Top Features of arivis Vision4D 3.6:

Vision4D 3.6 fully supports import of deep learning models in the Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) format as well as the CZ model from ZEISS ZEN Intellesis and the APEER cloud-based image processing platform. With APEER you easily annotate and train new models or combine already existing ones into customized workflows, without the need for programming knowledge*. Vision4D now gives you the flexibility to import and apply fully trained neural networks from various libraries and backends to your analysis pipelines to enable deep learning for automated analysis of your imaging data.

Additionally, Vision4D now features improved support for well plate imaging datasets with a new graphical overview, easy navigation and intuitive selection of the position of your well plates image set. Advanced visualization and automated analysis of your high-content imaging applications has never been more efficient! Fully supported formats and systems include ZEISS Celldiscoverer 7 and any CZI file with well plate information as well as selected Molecular Devices and Yokogawa imaging systems**. Further updates to Vision4D 3.6 include the Blob Finder analysis tool that now comes with more options and parameters for normalization as well as various bug fixes and speed improvements across the board.
