Image Processing Workshop
General context
Recent years, imaging and image processing has become essential for life scientists dealing with scientific images. In Life science, microscopy and imaging have become more and more important. Imaging has evolved from showing examples images towards quantitative biology. Image processing is playing a crucial role and is becoming a means of quantification in life science.
This course is aiming at the starter level of image processing and will use commonly available tools (ImageJ/FIJI). The course consists of lectures, demos, and practical exercises. The first day will provide an overview of different tools, pitfalls in image acquisition, image/data integrity and will then focus on Fiji from the basics to writing macros. The second day will be used for deepening the knowledge and feature other tools for analyzing large datasets and creating quantitative analysis pipelines. The attendees will be able to use basic image processing tools and apply the learned concepts to their research.
We will ask the participants to bring along their own laptop.

"The training met my expectations, it had the right amount of overall information about things that could possibly be interesting for us without going into to much detail, I got out skills I can use immediately to automatize certain processes of my image analysis pipeline and it also gave me some searching tools to find additional information myself."

"The organization was excellent. There seem to be few/no workshops regarding image processing, while this is very much needed and important knowledge/skills. This course fills that gap."

Frank Vernaillen
After working as a software developer in a company on physics-based modeling and 2D and 3D computer graphics, Frank joined VIB in 2016 to work on image restauration and registration of electron microscopy images, machine learning,... Via VIB's first imaging-based spatial proteomics platform, he got involved in spatial omics data analysis, and naturally joined the Spatial Catalyst when it was formed in 2023, to continue work on data analysis and development of analysis pipelines.
