How to Use Interactive Segmentation Tools in Segmentation+ Workroom

These two tutorials list the most commonly used segmentation tools in Amira and Avizo Software. The combination of tools provides excellent flexibility for full segmentation projects or for establishing ground truth used in Deep Learning model training.

Amira and Avizo Software provide versatile interactive selection tool for complex image segmentation work. The combination of tools provides many options for efficient and high-quality segmentation in cases where fully automated approaches are not expected to work.

It is also increasingly common to use manual selections to train a Deep Learning model. So even when the goal is full automation, it is beneficial to have a source of truth from manually labeled data. This short tutorial series illustrates these tools.

This first tutorial video documents the Brush, Lasso, Magic Wand, and Pick tools. Additionally, the Masking concept is explained. Basic material creation and editing is shown.

This second tutorial video introduces additional segmentation tools: AI Assisted Selection and Superpixels. These tools require a 3D Pro license or edition with the Pro features.
