Custom Solutions

Your imaging challenge.
Our starting point.

OptiFlow is a domain-aware image-analytics platform — backed by a team that builds what the catalogue doesn’t. Bring an image-based problem from any field: we scope it, build and validate the pipeline on your own data, and hand it back as an auditable workflow you own and run. No code, 100% local — from a single frame to an entire archive.

The build-versus-buy gap

Off-the-shelf tools stop
where your problem starts.

Every field has images holding answers no generic tool was built to extract — a modality it never anticipated, a sample it can’t handle, a decision it can’t defend. The usual fallbacks are a black box you can’t audit or a script that dies the day its author leaves. Neither is a capability.

No tool fits your imaging

A novel instrument, an unusual sample, a new contrast mechanism or acquisition protocol — off-the-shelf software was never designed for it, and forcing your work through a generic pipeline quietly costs you accuracy you can’t see.

A black box you can’t defend

Regulated submissions, quality-critical inspection and reproducible science need every step documented and traceable. A result you can’t reproduce — or explain — is a result you can’t stand behind.

Expertise you have; engineering you don’t

The imaging knowledge is yours. Turning it into a production-grade, maintainable pipeline is a different discipline — and a pipeline that lives in one person’s head isn’t a capability, it’s a risk.

Fields we work across

If it’s an image,
there’s value to extract.

Logic Byte’s roots are in biomedical and semiconductor imaging — but the underlying capability is modality-agnostic. Wherever an image holds a measurement, a defect, a change or a decision, OptiFlow applies. A sample of where we add value:

Your field isn’t here?

That’s our favourite kind of problem. If it involves extracting value from images, it’s very likely a fit — we build for new domains regularly, and build new modules when none exist.

How we build

When the tool doesn’t exist,
we build it.

Custom work at Logic Byte is co-development, not a black-box handoff. We work in your domain and your terms, engineer the method alongside your experts — from first principles where nothing off-the-shelf applies — and prove it on your own data before anything ships. What you receive is production-grade and yours to keep.

Step 01

Understand

We start with your problem and your images — the modality, the decision, the constraints. No brief required, no commitment to begin.

Step 02

Co-develop

We design the method with your experts, adapting existing OptiFlow modules where they fit and building new ones where the imaging physics or analysis demands it.

Step 03

Validate

We benchmark on your own data, not a demo set — with documented performance against the success criteria we agreed up front.

Step 04

Hand over

Delivered as a deployable, auditable OptiFlow workflow — on your infrastructure, at your scale, with the method recorded and portable.

In production at ETH Zürich We’ve built first-of-kind imaging tools where none existed — from virtual staining to reference-free defect detection. The research behind them is just below.
The domain-agnostic toolkit

Every step, from raw frame
to the decision.

Compose the exact pipeline your problem needs from a deep library of operations that travel across fields — and when the operation you need isn’t there, we build it. Preview any of them on your own images, then license only what your work demands.

Restore & enhance

Recover signal from difficult images.

Denoising that is classical, AI-guided and hybrid — NLM, bilateral, wavelet, total-variation, BM3D and anisotropic diffusion. Illumination and contrast correction, CLAHE, destriping and ring-artefact removal, and frequency-domain (FFT notch and bandpass) filtering for clean, comparable inputs.

Expanded

Detect, segment & measure

Find every object; measure it in real units.

Otsu, multi-Otsu and adaptive thresholding; morphology and connected-component labelling with per-object statistics; ridge and line filters for cracks, fibres, vessels and filaments. Calibrated area, distance and interactive line-intensity profiles — read straight from your metadata.

New

Classify & grade

Decisions trained on your data.

Supervised deep learning for object-level classification, grading or categorisation — trained on your own annotated images, so the model learns your problem rather than approximating it.

Anomaly & change detection

Flag the new, the odd, the changed.

Unsupervised anomaly detection that needs no defect library — ideal for novel failure modes and new modalities. Plus phase-correlation alignment and two-image difference for precise before/after change detection.

Quantify, plot & export

From one object to a whole population.

Per-object and population statistics, enumeration and texture analysis with batch processing built in — then plotting (histogram, scatter, box-plot, violin, CDF) and automatic export to Excel for the numbers behind every image.

New

Real-time & embedded

Analysis at the point of acquisition.

Low-latency inference for live-stream processing, plus live monitoring with action triggers — pause acquisition and notify the moment a condition is met — deployable even where the computational footprint is constrained.

Plus the building blocks every pipeline leans on

Channel and colour operations, lookup tables, geometry and alignment, type conversion, and pixel-wise image maths and compositing — the connective tissue that lets any workflow fit together exactly as your problem requires.

Modular by design — start with what today’s work needs and add modules as the problem grows, every one running locally on your own machines. See the full OptiFlow platform.

Reproducible & auditable

Results you can defend.
Methods you can hand over.

Modern image analysis is too complex to write into a methods section — and in bespoke work, the method is the deliverable. OptiFlow records it for you, so every result is reproducible, every method is portable and submittable as-is, and your data never leaves your control.

Embedded, tamper-evident provenance

Every result carries its full recipe.

The complete pipeline — every operation, parameter, calibration and operator — is written into the image itself, encrypted and readable only inside OptiFlow. An encrypted, rollback-resistant timestamp guards the record; where it matters, lock it to a password only your team holds.

An exportable method, on demand

Submit it, share it, archive it.

Export the complete pipeline as a standalone file — to attach to a submission, hand to a partner, or archive against a result. Anyone you give it to can reproduce the exact analysis, down to the parameter.

Air-gapped & 100% local

No image ever leaves the machine.

Processing reads and writes your own filesystem directly. No image data crosses the network — no cloud account, no exceptions — so sensitive imagery and unpublished results stay exactly where they belong.

See it: the exact method, recovered from any result.

Every result already contains the workflow that made it — so revisiting your own analysis, handing it to a partner, satisfying an auditor, or re-running across an archive needs nothing rebuilt and nothing re-documented.

Preparing live demo…
From research to production

Built on science.
Proven by building the new.

Logic Byte builds first-of-kind imaging tools — methods that didn’t exist until the work demanded them. The techniques underneath — unsupervised anomaly detection, learned reconstruction, image-based classification — are domain-independent, grounded in peer-reviewed research and already running in production.

Reference-free anomaly detection
Defect screening with no golden reference
An unsupervised pipeline that learns normal appearance from a lab’s own data and flags deviations — no defect library required — triaging hundreds of objects down to a handful for expert review. The same approach transfers to inspection in any field.
APL Bioengineering · 2021
Label-free single-cell classification
Machine learning identified cancer cells from label-free imaging of intracellular pH — no fluorescent markers — at 95% accuracy in under 35 minutes. Covered by CNA and The Straits Times.
Vision generative AI · ETH Zürich
In-silico staining from label-free microscopy
A capability that did not exist off-the-shelf: virtual nuclear staining computed directly from DIC, extending to phase-contrast and transmitted-light inputs. Deployed commercially at ETH Zürich.
