Built for standards-aware measurement, not black-box grading

ConductVision is designed to support the methods your lab already cites. We use careful claim wording: supported workflows, not certified compliance, until validated on your images.

Pilling grades from a photo

Photograph a specimen after its pilling test, and ConductVision suggests a grade from 1 to 5, gives the probability of each grade and marks the areas that look most pilled. A person on your team confirms the grade you report.

  • A whole grade from 1 to 5
  • The probability of each grade
  • A heat map over the photo
  • The same grade for the same photo
  • The ConductVision version on each result
  • Set up for Martindale specimens tested to ISO 12945-2

Ten primitives behind every page

Every application is the same reusable engine, exposed under the name your field uses. Calibrate, detect, measure, review, export — then compare across lots and time points.

Scale calibration

Set real units from a bar or known dimension.

Object detection

Locate every object of interest in the field.

Semantic segmentation

Label each pixel by class: phase, pore, tissue.

Instance segmentation

Separate touching objects into countable instances.

Boundary tracing

Trace grain, cell, and region outlines precisely.

Crack & line detection

Follow cracks, fibers, and thin linear features.

Texture classification

Score surface texture, domains, and patterns.

Statistical export

Distributions and summaries, publication-ready.

Batch & lot comparison

Compare across cohorts, lots, and time points.

Overlay review

Inspect and adjust every result on the image.

The same image engine supports life-science assays

If the workflow is image in, measurement out, ConductVision can often support it with the same protocol, overlay, and export system — from histology to 3D culture. Those cell, tissue, colony, and 3D-culture workflows have their own home.

Validated on your image type, not a global accuracy number

Every high-stakes workflow needs validation on your samples. ConductVision supports locked protocols, reviewed overlays, and held-out validation sets so teams can document exactly how each measurement was produced — compared against expert manual measurements, held out by material family, supplier, microscope, and lighting, and labelled clearly when a protocol is still a custom or research workflow.

Send a sample image and a measurement goal

We will show the closest ConductVision workflow and identify what needs custom validation for your images.
