Aivia Software
Launchpad
- Ashish Uppin
- Won Yung Choi
The Launchpad is designed to streamline the user experience by reducing decision fatigue and providing intelligent guidance. Tailored specifically for first-time users, it eliminates confusion by presenting a clear, visually driven selection process for analysis workflows. At every AIVIA launch, users are greeted with a predefined set of sequences (presets), providing a consistent starting point.
Key Features:
Image-Based Sequence Selection: Leverages built-in intelligence to analyze the user's loaded image and determine whether a 2D, 3D, or timelapse sequence is most suitable, ensuring they start with the right setup.
Minimal Decision Points: The interface presents only the most relevant options, reducing cognitive load and simplifying choices.
Engaging Visual Design: Large, attractive images accompany each sequence, making it easy for users to recognize and select their desired sequence.
Expandable Customization: Users can load and access additional saved sequences, allowing for flexibility as they gain experience.
With the Launchpad, users can effortlessly navigate the software, streamline their setup, and concentrate on their analysis, gaining proficiency with ease.
Interface
Number | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | Open File Button | Opens dialog box to open images directly, without a sequence |
2 | Sequence Options | Shows all available sequence options |
3 | Open Custom Saved Sequence | Opens dialog box to select a saved custom sequence from a file |
4 | File Options | Available file opening options for each selected sequence |
5 | More information | Displays information about each available sequence, allowing users to explore options by scrolling through the panels using the left/right arrows. |
6 | Show at Startup | When this option is checked, the Launchpad view will automatically appear every time the application starts. If unchecked, it will not be shown at startup but can still be accessed manually from the Launchpad button |
Sequence options
A sequence is a series of steps or tasks that you follow to complete a specific process. Think of it as a roadmap that guides you from the start to the finish of an analysis, ensuring everything is done in the right order. Each step is designed to make the process smooth and efficient, helping you achieve your goal with ease. Each step will have all the tools needed to perform the task in that step, ensuring you have everything you need at each stage.
Below described are the predefined sets of sequences provided with AIVIA.
Sequence | Description |
|---|---|
Object Detection | Detect objects (single structure such as cells or nuclei) by painting a few examples using a pre-trained deep learning model. Pre-defined steps:  |
Tracking | Track cellular dynamics and divisions over time.  |
Histology* | Detect cells or nuclei on histology / IHC images by painting a few examples. Pre-defined steps:  |
Colocalization | Identify overlapping and neighboring objects and explore the spatial context between them. Pre-defined steps:  |
CellL1
| Detect cells, nuclei, and subcellular components to see vesicle colocalization or distances between cell compartments. Pre-defined steps: |
NeuronL2
| Trace whole neurons – soma, dendrites, and spines – on 3D fluorescent, EM, or Golgi-stained images. Pre-defined steps: |
*2D Images only
**3D Images only
L1 Requires Aivia Elevate - CellBio or Apex
L2 Requires Aivia Elevate – Neuro or Apex
