Built for big data
The new functionality of 9.8 leverages all the infrastructure Aivia has to offer for multi-TB data, including multi-res and multi-block rendering, semantic object tagging (free text), ortho and clipping planes, cloud computing and web-deployment.

Automatic neuron reconstruction
Use one of Aivia's newly pre-trained deep learning models to automatically skeletonize and create morphologically accurate 3D reconstructions of dendritic trees imaged by Electron Microscopy

Manual and AI-aided neuron reconstruction and editing
Create skeleton (trees) and / or dendrite outline annotations using Aivia's manual and AI-enhanced tools. These tools can also be used to edit / curate the results obtained by the automated neuron reconstruction pipeline

Built for big data
Big data, bigger performance boost
Multi-resolution and multi-block rendering allows you to visualize terabytes of data with ease. Aivia renders the full data at low resolution to conserve GPU memory that gradually becomes more well-defined as you focus closer on the dataset. You can use the advanced visualization tools such as the clipping plane and orthoslicer to further refine the visualization by cutting away certain parts of the image to reveal the data within.
We have also made navigating and exploring dendrite networks easier with advance mesh visibility options and a data tagging system. Using the mesh visibility options you can hide or show only selected meshes to reduce the noise and focus on specific dendrites for further exploration. The tagging system allows you to add notes, label dendrites or mark regions of interest. When a tag is selected Aivia automatically navigates to that location, eliminating the need to search and find specific locations in large datasets. Additionally, you can do text searches to quickly relocate objects and regions of particular interest.
Finally, the full power of Aivia 9.8 is well suited for well-funded labs or imaging core facilities with state-of-the-art computing hardware. That said, we also offer AiviaWeb and AiviaCloud, so that everyone can have access to the latest and greatest powerful hardware available. Whether you are working in the lab or working from home, you can remotely access the computing resources offered by AiviaWeb and AiviaCloud for your analysis.

Automatic neuron reconstruction
Form and function for each neuron
A myriad of measurements (such as dendrite / dendrite tree volume, length, key points, convex hull and many more) are provided in Aivia for comprehensive neuron analysis. The neuron reconstructions can be exported to SWC (for dendrite trees) and PLY (for meshes) files for additional processing with third-party software or to be deposited into reference databases.
You can find our 3 pre-trained deep learning models in our curated AI Model Library with usage descriptions, sample images and references for each model. Additionally, you can download the models directly within Aivia (Help > Update > Models).

Manual and AI-aided neuron reconstruction and editing
Perfect neuron reconstruction, every time
You also have access to existing and updated neuron editing tools including the Mesh Contour Editor and the remaining tools of the Neuron Composer. Using the painter, eraser and region tool within the Mesh Contour Editor you can draw or modify the neuron mesh plane-by-plane. The Neuron Composer tools allows you to edit the dendrite trace such as deleting dendrite trace points or joining dendrite segments.
These tools in combination with our EM-focused recipe provides you with multiple approaches to 3D neuron reconstruction:
-
EM Create Tool + Mesh Contour Editor for fully manual reconstruction
-
EM Create only to examine the dendrite tree and network
-
Mesh Contour Editor only to create ground truth for deep learning model training
-
and much more
With Aivia 9.8 complete neuron reconstruction is easier than ever.

Customizable hotkeys
Your key to greater workflow efficiency
Certain 3D tools automatically activates a hotkey overlap display so no need to memorize all the hotkeys used in each tool. This overlay is also customizable, you can select the font size, color and style that fits your viewing preference.
With the new hotkey customizations, you can style the hotkey controls in the manner that is easily memorizable and the most suitable for your workflow.
