Introduction to Image Processing for High-Content Screening

Speaker

Abstract

Image-based screens require the use of automated microscopes which generates hundreds, if not thousands of images at a time. With such large image sets, automatic image analysis is more objective and quantitative and less tedious then visual inspection alone. This session will provide an overview of the basic concepts, methods and software used in automated image analysis, including which relevant image pixels, partitioning an image into cellular compartments and measuring interesting properties of these compartments.
