Title: Working with image data in R
Date: Thursday, March 23rd, 15:00 – 17:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)
Speaker: Wolfgang Huber is the author of several R packages for statistical analysis of “omics” data and a co-founder of the Bioconductor project. He co-authored the textbook Modern Statistics for Modern Biology with Susan Holmes. He has worked on cellular phenotyping from genetic and chemical screens and is a co-author of the EBImage package). He is a senior group leader at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, where he co-directs the Molecular Medicine Partnership Unit and the Theory Transversal Theme. Scientific Homepage is here

Description: Images are a rich source of data. In this workshop, we will see how quantitative information can be extracted from images. We will use segmentation to identify objects, measure their properties such as size, intensity distribution moments, shape and morphology descriptors, and explore statistical models to describe spatial relationships between them. The workshop includes a hands-on demonstration of the EBImage package for R, which provides many functions for feature extraction and visualization. Application examples will be taken from biological imaging of cells and tissues, the methods should also be applicable to other types of data.

Minimal registration fee: 20 euro (or 20 USD or 750 UAH)
