Aivia Community is a free software created by the Aivia team with the intent of accelerating scientific research. Aivia Community was created with four main use cases in mind:
-
open and interactively explore 2-to-5D microscopy data sets (tested up to 3 TB files);
-
open, explore and create attractive visual outputs (such as video animations) from data sets previously analysed with Aivia AND raw microscopy images;
-
collaborate to create ground truth annotations and machine learning powered image enhancement and segmentation models;
-
preview how your trained machine learning models perform on your data.
