Image Analysis Training in João Pessoa

This instructor-led, live training in João Pessoa (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to intermediate-level researchers and laboratory professionals who wish to process and analyze images related to histological tissues, blood cells, algae, and other biological samples. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Navigate the Fiji interface and utilize ImageJ’s core functions.
• Preprocess and enhance scientific images for better analysis.
• Analyze images quantitatively, including cell counting and area measurement.
• Automate repetitive tasks using macros and plugins.
• Customize workflows for specific image analysis needs in biological research.

Fiji is an open-source image processing package that bundles ImageJ (an image processing program for scientific multidimensional images) and a number of plugins for scientific image analysis. In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use the Fiji distribution and its underlying ImageJ program to create an image analysis application. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use Fiji's advanced programming features and software components to extend ImageJ
• Stitch large 3d images from overlapping tiles
• Automatically update a Fiji installation on startup using the integrated update system
• Select from a broad selection of scripting languages to build custom image analysis solutions
• Use Fiji's powerful libraries, such as ImgLib on large bioimage datasets
• Deploy their application and collaborate with other scientists on similar projects

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Pattern Matching is a technique used to locate specified patterns within an image. It can be used to determine the existence of specified characteristics within a captured image, for example the expected label on a defective product in a factory line or the specified dimensions of a component. It is different from "Pattern Recognition" (which recognizes general patterns based on larger collections of related samples) in that it specifically dictates what we are looking for, then tells us whether the expected pattern exists or not. Format of the Course

• This course introduces the approaches, technologies and algorithms used in the field of pattern matching as it applies to Machine Vision.

Scilab is a well-developed, free, and open-source high-level language for scientific data manipulation. Used for statistics, graphics and animation, simulation, signal processing, physics, optimization, and more, its central data structure is the matrix, simplifying many types of problems compared to alternatives such as FORTRAN and C derivatives. It is compatible with languages such as C, Java, and Python, making it suitable as for use as a supplement to existing systems. In this instructor-led training, participants will learn the advantages of Scilab compared to alternatives like Matlab, the basics of the Scilab syntax as well as some advanced functions, and interface with other widely used languages, depending on demand. The course will conclude with a brief project focusing on image processing. By the end of this training, participants will have a grasp of the basic functions and some advanced functions of Scilab, and have the resources to continue expanding their knowledge. Audience

• Data scientists and engineers, especially with interest in image processing and facial recognition

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and intensive hands-on practice, with a final project
