The course covers basic concepts of image analysis such as image properties, image segmentation, shape and intensity measurements. We will use Fiji, but the course is also recommended if you are a beginner and want to perform image analysis using other platforms. Four afternoons online course on "Basics of Image Analysis using the ImageJ GUI" March 7^th & 8^th, March 14^th & 15^th, 2022: 13:00 - 17:00 (CET)

Content:
This is an image analysis course for beginners and will cover the following topics:

Basic image segmentation (binarization by thresholding)
Image convolution filtering
Image rank filters (median, erosion, dilation, top hat)
Object detection (connected component analysis and label images)
Object shape measurements
Background subtraction
Object intensity measurements
Distance transform
Watershed

The practicals will be conducted using the graphical user interface of Fiji (https://fiji.sc/). However, we will focus on the concepts of image analysis rather than the specific implementation in Fiji. Thus, this course is also recommended if you are a beginner and want to perform image analysis in some other platform (e.g., using python scripting).

Prerequisites:

You have experience in taking microscopy images of biological samples.
You are familiar with basic image properties and how to display images.
You have a research project that may require automated quantification of microscopy images.
