PDRT 5239 BIOINFORMATICS - COMPUTATIONAL IMAGE ANALYSIS

This nanocourse offers an introduction to state-of-the-art computer vision methods to convert image data into quantitative information. The four-day intensive course covers image analysis fundamentals using theory lectures and hands-on computer exercises using popular image analysis programs such as ImageJ, CellProfiler and Matlab. Biomedical scientists will gain the background to (1) search for and evaluate existing image analysis software, and (2) start devising their own image analysis pipeline/software. The course will also include and "image analysis therapy" session where the class can brainstorm about each other's image analysis problems.
