Fast AI Assisted Annotation with NVIDIA Clara AI
March 2019
NVIDIA just announced the Clara Train Annotation at the GTC 2019 Keynote (jump to 01:25:00), which allows you to rapidly segment organs with a few clicks! In a cooperation between the German Cancer Research Center and NVIDIA, we already integrated this new technology into our segmentation tools in our recent MITK Workbench release 2018.04.2.
Learn more about this exciting new feature.
MITK 2018.04.2 Release
March 2019
MITK 2018.04.2 has been released.
Most fixes are related to multi-layer/multi-label segmentation and the build system.
We are happy to announce that we, in a cooperation with NVIDIA, integrated the NVIDIA AI-Assisted Annotation in the form of two new Segmentation tools. These tools use the power of the NVIDIA GPU cloud to greatly accelerate the segmentation of organs with only a few clicks. More information.
Read the full release notes and a list of highlights.
You can download an installer containing the MITK Workbench application with and without NVIDIA AI-Assisted Annotation tools for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
