Image Analysis


Introduction to Image Analysis.

📋 Content

📄 Description

This directory contains a few basic notebooks to learn exploring, manipulating and measuring biomedical image data.

By the end of these notebooks, you should feel more comfortable with:

  • Competence in exploring, manipulating, and analyzing biomedical image data using Python and relevant libraries.
  • Proficiency in image processing techniques including segmentation, filtering, and measurement applicable in biomedical contexts.
  • Understanding of how to assess and compare biomedical images for various purposes, including disease evaluation and structural analysis.

📣 Current announcements

In this skill track, the notebooks build on each other. Therefore, complete them in the order given!

❗ Course requirements

  • you should have understood the basic concepts of Python, otherwise have another look at the Introductory notebooks
  • in this notebook we use data from open-source databases (the references are at the bottom of the page); in Google Colab the data is loaded automatically at the beginning of the notebook
  • have a look at the theoretical basics before you start with the notebooks
