Image Processing PhD course 2023

Course details

In this course we will initially use Fiji to illustrate fundamental image analysis concepts, then expand to introduce other software packages.

The students will learn what a digital image is, how and when to perform basic image processing tasks and how to combine such tasks to perform advanced image processing and segmentation, automated pixel classification and, 2D and 3D measurements. Furthermore, the student will learn basic Macro programming and how to automate analysis of many images.

The course will consist of a course preparation day (Friday June16 th - introduction to image formation, basics on Fiji and preparation of own projects) followed by 5 days of teaching (19th - 23rd of June). The course program includes work on own project sessions with advice, supervision and support from the teachers (3 at least at all times).

You can read more about the course and the take a look at the course description in the PhD school course catalogue.

Max number of participants: 20

Requirements

All participants are expected to bring their own laptop, which should meet the following requirements:
1)      A minimum of 2 GB main RAM
2)      A graphic board compatible with Fiji 3D viewer*
3)      At least 10 GB available on the system partition
4)      The ability to connect to internet through WIFI
5)      A USB 2 or USB 3 port.
* To test if your graphic board is compatible with Fiji 3D viewer: call File > Open samples > Fly brain and Plugins > 3D viewer. Use the default settings of the 3D viewer and press "OK". You should see the 3D rendering of the image stack and also be able to interact with the volume with the mouse.

Students will have to submit an image processing project before the course; summarizing a bioimaging experiment and describing the research question.
