Feature highlights of WEBKNOSSOS from 2022
The visualization, sharing and annotation capabilities of WEBKNOSSOS have grown a lot over the last year. In this article, we will be revisiting some of our favorite features. Have look and make sure you have not missed anything!
The interpolation feature
Annotate a cell, skip a few slices and annotate it again. Use the interpolation tool to have WEBKNOSSOS segment it in 3D!
The quick-select tool
Simply draw a rectangle around a cell and voila! It’s annotated. Try it out in combination with the interpolation tool for even more efficient results.
Custom color segments
Change the colors of segments in WEBKNOSSOS. Make cells blue, pink, even black or white! This is great for differentiating cells in your segmentation.
Proof-reading tool
Simply click on a location in your annotation and right-click on another one to merge or split segments.
Team sharing
You can allow members of your team to edit your annotation and work on a single annotation together, without having to send around versions.
Dataset tags
Filter your datasets with tags depending on their attributes or specifications using the dataset tags.
Folder structure for datasets
Organize your datasets in different folders and attach user permissions to each folder. This will help you manage your data, even when your organization is handling hundreds of datasets!
Mesh and layout in sharing link
The currently visible meshes and the layer configuration are part of the sharing link — the recipient will see the exact same thing as you!
Short links
The sharing links of WEBKNOSSOS became shortened by default. So much data in just a few characters!
Datasets exposed as Zarr arrays
Any dataset and annotation in WEBKNOSSOS can be streamed to other third-party programs that understand the Zarr interface (e.g. Neuroglancer, Fiji and Napari). Additionally, you can also load any Zarr-format-based datasets into WEBKNOSSOS.
Connectome viewer
Select a segment, and a list of its synaptic connections and partners will appear. Click on a synapse, and the viewports will jump to its location. The easiest way to explore a connectome!
Stay tuned on Twitter to follow the development of WEBKNOSSOS — and all the upcoming feature of 2023!
