Image Analysis
The DCSR team can help you with your image analysis pipeline. The person involved in this is Arianna Ravera, Image Analysis and Machine Learning specialist.
Support Overview
From a quick question or a quick opinion, and a long project conceived and structured together. Everything related to extracting information and data from your images can be discussed together.
Here are some of the main topics that we are usually asked about:
- Image pre-processing and enhancement
- Object detection and/or image segmentation
- object tracking
- quantification (shape, dynamics, colocalization, and other properties)
- clustering / classifying objects
- visualization (rendering high-dimensional images, 3D images, etc.)
- analytics (statistics of the extracted information).
Usually most of the analyzes carried out from us are programmed in Python as it is the most widespread programming language for the subject and is very fast and adaptive. (Please, if you're already familiar with Python, visit this page: https://bioimagebook.github.io/index.html)
