Objectives
Bioimage Informatics is a field of science that deals with the processing, analysis, visualization, handling and annotation of bioimages, using specialized software tools. An important aim in the field is to extract quantitative information from digital biomedical images. Starting from the fundamental concepts of digital images in biomedical sciences, students are introduced to various image processing and analysis techniques and tools. Along with lectures, demonstrations will be arranged to provide hands on training in image processing and in-depth and intuitive understanding of modern bioimage informatics approaches and applications. Further studies around the topic can be continued on course BioImage Informatics 2.
After the course, the student will be able to identify common phases in bioimage analysis, select proper methods and approaches for basic analysis tasks, explain the benefits of the use of bioimage informatics for quantification of biomedical images, and compare the differences of manual and computer based analysis of images.
