Content
The worksho
p – “Scientific Image Processing and Analysis” aims to teach natural
scientists from different areas of life science how to handle and process
digital images starting from e.g. microscopic image acquisition until the
incorporation into the final publication figure. This includes important
theory about high quality digital images in general (e.g. how to achieve g
ood resolution) as well as a broad spectrum of methods for scientifically
correct image processing and specific analytical purposes according to hig
h scientific standards. You will learn how to extract different types of i
nformation from your images and how to quantify objects and intensities. A
dditionally\, the workshop includes a lot of hands-on sessions\, methods t
o automate repetitive tasks to decrease time investment while reducing use
r bias. Furthermore\, it provides some guidelines for do's and dont's duri
ng publication figure preparation.
You will be able to revisit the l
earned material using the provided exercises and script also later on. The
workshop content is generally of importance for scientists working with d
igital images and their analysis but has a strong focus on microscopy! Opt
ional topics will be adjusted to meet the participants needs as good as po
ssible if there is time left.
Furthermore\, specific participant que
stion regarding image processing or solutions for analysis issues can be p
ersonally discussed if communicated beforehand (e-mail with question and e
xample images).
Specific Topics (among others)
\nAim
The workshop sh
ould give scientists a better understanding about the Do's and Don'ts duri
ng digital image processing and insight in the methodology of extracting a
multiplicity of information from their images. The participants will gain
extensive knowledge about the possibilities to analyze their imaging data
using only one software (Fiji).
Target Group
PhD Students and PostDocs which are working or plan to work with digita
l (micrograph) images. The workshop has a strong focus on microscopic imag
es and life science applications but most of the workshop content also app
lies for digital images of different origin in general. No previous softwa
re knowledge required.
Methodology
During t
he practical parts of the workshop we will use the professional software F
iji (customized ImageJ bundle). All necessary software will be provided an
d installed during the workshop. Software is free to use (open source).
Credit points: 1\,5 ECTS
