😃 Introduction

Welcome to our webinar on the latest version, 3.2, of our software. In this session, we will explore the exciting new features and enhancements that have been added. We have focused on making the software more user-friendly and efficient, while also introducing powerful new tools for image analysis. Let's dive in and discover all the improvements in version 3.2!

🚀 New Features in Version 3.2

2.1 Pipeline Operations

2.1.1 Clean and Accessible Design

We have implemented a cleaner and more accessible design for the pipeline analysis panel. The new design makes it easier to navigate and collapse/expand specific operations. This improvement helps users quickly locate and focus on the operations they need without cluttering the analysis panel.

2.1.2 Collapsing Operations

To optimize the use of space in the analysis panel, we have introduced the ability to collapse individual operations. This feature enables users to minimize the space occupied by completed operations, making it easier to scroll through the pipeline and locate specific operations.

2.1.3 Preview and Transparency Options

We have added a preview icon for each operation in the analysis panel, providing quick access to preview the results. Additionally, a slider allows users to adjust the transparency of the preview, making it easier to compare the processed and original data.

2.1.4 2D and 3D Operations

We have bundled all denoising operations into one, eliminating the need to differentiate between 2D and 3D filters. By default, most operations run in 3D, processing multiple planes simultaneously. The preview, however, remains calculated in a 2D view to reduce waiting time for users.

2.2 Distance Map Operation

The distance map operation is a powerful tool for measuring distances between reference and subject objects. It provides flexibility in choosing the measurement criteria, such as edge-to-edge, surface-to-object, or center-to-center distances. The new version allows independent parameter settings for distance measurements from and to the reference and subject objects, providing greater control and accuracy.

2.3 Normalization Operation

The new normalization operation helps manage uneven illumination and signal attenuation in image sets. By normalizing only for the purpose of object detection while preserving raw data intensities, users can obtain reliable and consistent results. This operation is especially beneficial for batch analysis and comparing results from different pipelines.

2.4 Seeded Region Growing Operation

The seeded region growing operation offers an efficient solution for membrane-based segmentation. By growing from the boundary of nuclei, users can detect membrane objects with greater accuracy and speed. This operation is particularly useful for complex surfaces and images with diffuse staining.

2.5 Machine Learning Segmenter

Our machine learning segmenter has been enhanced to support segmentation across multiple channels simultaneously. This feature allows users to train the software to recognize objects based on their characteristics, enabling faster and more accurate results. The improved version also splits RGB images into separate channels to optimize segmentation performance.

🔄 Batch Processing with Machine Learning

The machine learning segmenter can be seamlessly integrated into batch analysis. Anything that can be run in a pipeline can be extended to batch processing. This allows users to leverage the power of machine learning for large-Scale analysis and automation, saving time and effort.

💡 Efficiency of Machine Learning with Histology Images

Machine learning segmentation has proven to be highly effective with histology images. The ability to train the software using representative pixels and features specific to histology helps achieve accurate segmentations. With the improved capabilities in version 3.2, users can expect even better results, irrespective of image color space or staining techniques.

💽 Storage Recommendations for Limited Disk Space

To ensure optimal performance, it is crucial to have sufficient space on the hard disk. Temporary documents and image data should be stored on the primary drive to avoid data transfer issues. If disk space is limited, consider offloading non-essential data to external drives or expanding storage options. However, it is advisable to maintain temporary documents on the hard disk to prevent potential failures due to connectivity or power issues.

🎉 Conclusion

Version 3.2 of our software brings significant enhancements and new features, improving user experience and analysis capabilities. The streamlined pipeline operations, distance map operation, normalization operation, seeded region growing operation, and machine learning segmenter empower users to perform advanced image analysis efficiently and accurately. We are excited to share these updates and look forward to your valuable feedback.

🔍 FAQs

Q: Can the machine learning tool be used with batch processing?
A: Yes, the machine learning tool can be seamlessly integrated into batch analysis. It allows users to automate large-scale image analysis efficiently.

Q: Can I apply the machine learning training on different image sets?
A: Yes, the machine learning training can be applied to different image sets as long as the data is similar.

Q: Do I need a Second Channel to apply the region growing algorithm, or can it be done using the same channel?
A: The region growing algorithm can be applied using the same channel if necessary. However, it is generally recommended to have separate channels to achieve better results.

Q: How efficient is the machine learning tool with histology images?
A: The efficiency of the machine learning tool with histology images depends on various factors such as staining quality and image complexity. It is recommended to try it out with your specific data to assess its performance.

Q: If I don't have enough space on my hard disk, is it possible to save temporary files on OneDrive?
A: It is not recommended to save temporary files on OneDrive or any external cloud storage. It is advisable to free up space on the hard disk and maintain the temporary files locally for optimal performance.
