Aiforia feature: Multi-channel Images and Analysis

Unlimited channels, limitless data 

Aiforia’s multi-channel viewing and analysis capabilities can be applied to any image allowing for hundreds of channels to be imported and processed.

The feature is supported in Aiforia’s AI for image analysis platform, Aiforia Create, and in the cloud-based image management platform, Aiforia Hub

When viewing multi-channel images, you can adjust the visibility of each channel, and select the colors you want to view the image with. You can hide or highlight the channels of interest as you go.

The neural networks of our deep learning AI are able to learn from all channels at the same time. In particular, the neural networks are able to learn which channels are the most useful ones for a specific task. You can view and turn on/off as many channels as you want to increase feature visibility while annotating.
