IMAGE PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS WORKSHOP BY JANELIA RESEARCH CENTER
Turku BioImaging presents: FIJI Image Processing and Analysis workshop organised by the Advanced Imaging Center at Janelia Research Campus in the USA: Combining careful image acquisition with rigorous image analysis allows the extraction of quantitative data from light microscopy images to answer various biological questions. This hands-on FIJI workshop will focus on basic and more advanced image analysis steps essential for quantifying image data. The first section of the curriculum will cover digital image basics, image processing fundamentals, Fourier transformation in image processing, object segmentation, intensity measurements as well as object-based and pixel-based colocalization. In the second, advanced section of the curriculum, we will explore how to use machine learning in image processing and segmentation, perform the evaluation of super-resolution image data, and analyze live-cell image data. The workshop will conclude with a lecture on advanced imaging techniques available to you at the Advanced Imaging Center at the HHMI Janelia Research…
