This section explains the specific image analysis part of the Multiphase Analysis - AI job template which is delivered with the software. We recommend that you read General Preparations and General Analysis Workflow to make yourself familiar with the general workflow. This job template uses the machine learning functionality of Intellesis or a deep learning AI model to perform the multiphase analysis. The idea is to use the Intellesis semantic segmentation or functionalities of deep learning AI models (e.g. instance segmentation) to distinguish different phases inside the image.

Frame Setup

Setting up a frame for the multiphase analysis is an optional step. If you want to, you can add a specific measurement frame (e.g. rectangle area in the center of the sample) which then will be used for the analysis only. If you want to use a measurement frame is depending on your sample and individual processes. The tool offers everything you need to setup the frame properly. With the tool parameters you can adjust the frame individually.

Image Segmentation

In this step the software segments the structures with the segmenter. In the Image Segmentation tool you can adapt the segmentation result according to your needs. The available phases are directly derived from the Intellesis or deep learning AI model and reflect the classes used inside the model for segmentation. Depending on your model type, additional post-processing options allow you to further refine or narrow down the results of the segmentation.

Interactive Image Segmentation

In this step you can correct the segmentation result interactively. By using the tools under Edit Regions you can interactively edit the segmented areas.

Result View

At the end of each analysis the Result view is displayed. It shows all images and results of the analysis performed. Additionally, the original images are displayed as well. In the Image Selection tool on the left side you can exclude images you do not want to have displayed within the result. If you click on the Statistics section within the tool, you can display all results of the analysis in a clearly structured table view.
