Avizo Software 2019.1 Release Notes - March 2019

Thermo Scientific Avizo Software version 2019.1 rolls out exciting new tools and enhancements.

- new version number and new life cycle
Starting with this 2019.1 release Avizo Software releases will be fully synchronized in terms of version number and life cycle.
. Avizo Software 2019.1 is the upgrade of Avizo Software 9.7
All products now benefit from quarterly releases, constantly keeping all users at the best level of features and performance for increased productivity.
- new 3D Image Stack Processing
Introduced in the previous release of Avizo Software, the Image Stack Processing workroom features an interactive environment to easily create and execute image processing recipes to process image stacks in 2D. (Each image of the stack is processed individually.)
In the 2019.1 release, the Image Volume Processing module is the 3D equivalent to the Image Processing Module. This module enables the processing of an image in 3D rather than processing each image of the stack individually. When a recipe is created, the preview is performed on a 3D-slab (with a user-defined width) rather than on a slice. This allows for correctly set 3D parameters.
- new out-of-core image Stack Processing
While the Image Stack Processing module allows the creation of a workflow from a single slice, it still needs to have the full stack in memory to process it. The new Process Stack on Disk module enables the processing of a full stack directly on disk. Each image in the stack is loaded into memory, processed, and then saved on disk. At any given time during the processing, only the workflow to process a given image is in memory. This allows for the processing of extremely large image stacks that could not even fit in memory.
- new pore and cavity segmentation using Compute Ambient Occlusion
This new module enables the segmentation of pores and cavities, which usually cannot be distinguished from the surrounding material, by considering the gray values and texture properties of the image.
This tool is a major feature, unlocking segmentation workflows that were not previously possible.
- new and enhanced modules
. The Filter by Measure Range module extracts a subset of labels from a label image by computing a measure for each label, then keeping only those labels within a given range of the measure.
. The new NeighborCount measurement returns the number of objects close to the current label. This measurement is useful for identifying particles belonging to a cluster.
. The Filter Sandbox module now integrates the GPU Adaptive Manifold mode for the Non-local Means filter, with a huge performance improvement, especially in 3D mode.
- Avizo Inline framework
. Enhanced DICOM/DICONDE support and extended user management
. Avizo Inline adds support for extra DICOM/DICONDE features in the Receiver Service, providing segmentation files management, organized folder structure of to-be-inspected models, as well as extended automation configuration capabilities.
. As well, Avizo Inline 2019.1 provides additional user management features, such as common preferences and password-protected configuration.
