Another important characteristic is its scale-out functionality, using the Apache Spark framework for distributed computing. In addition, Orbit can run locally as standalone or connect to the open-source image server OMERO.
This deep learning segmentation can be integrated with complex object detection for analysis of intricate tissues. First, Orbit has machine-learning capabilities. Orbit Image Analysis is capable of sophisticated whole slide imaging analyses due to several key features.
The tool consists of a generic tile-processing engine which allows the execution of various image analysis algorithms provided by either Orbit itself or from other open-source platforms using a tile-based map-reduce execution framework. We describe Orbit Image Analysis, an open-source whole slide image analysis tool.
