Neuron Tracing & Trace Editing

Automatic Tracing for Faster Results

Neuron Tracing in microscopy volume imaging data can be challenging and laborious. The Automatic Neuron Tracing module allows analysis of even complex structural networks in both 2D or 3D multichannel image sets of virtually any size (tested with 100s of GBs). The integration of two modern, published methods and state-of-the-art algorithms offers an easy-to-use approach with full flexibility and interactivity at all steps.

The novel software architecture and algorithms of the arivis Scientific Image Analysis Platform deliver top performance in tracing applications for various imaging modalities in light microscopy. Combined with our best-in-class Machine Learning segmentation, automatic tracing and trace editing of multidimensional data sets becomes an easy task, without the need to be an expert in bioinformatics. arivis Vision4D allows you to create expert results and meaningful output data for any kind of tracing data sets. The new semi-automatic trace editing tool creates a neuron trace or branch interactively by drawing in the viewer with automatic detection of the path. And the unique arivis VisionVR virtual reality solution gives you superior productivity when proofreading and correcting your automatically created results.

The arivis Imaging Platform

The arivis Imaging Platform is a flexible computing universe for Imaging Science that scales, parallelizes, integrates and connects all imaging workflows, sparking organization-wide image data proficiency and efficiency at all levels. The integrated toolsets take care of everything from the file storage format to user and project-specific computations to reporting. The computational and management hubs that comprise the platform connect your datasets and take care of your central imaging databases and can expose data assets - including raw data and specified portions of raw data - to Machine Learning and AI routines.

VisionHub Your nucleus of computational activity and collaboration at scale. VisionHub enables design and execution of large-scale experiments that produce results from images, whether datasets are already stored or are actively being produced. Mass quantities of imaging datasets are onboarded and processed by a virtual team of computational workers. Smartly utilize processing cores in servers or workstations with the maximum speeds possible. Read More
