Counting objects in images is a task that is routinely performed by scientists in a variety of disciplines. Researchers in material sciences and biology often share the goal of measuring the distribution of particles, cells, and other objects in images based on size, shape, clumpiness, roundness, smoothness, density, color, and other features.  Identification and classification of objects in images that contain mixed populations into subgroups based on differences in morphological and optical properties can be tedious, time-consuming, and subject to error unless assisted by image processing tools that are designed for the task.

Attendees of this free web-based seminar will learn how to achieve maximum efficiency, accuracy and reproducibility in their analysis by applying a sequence of processing steps to their images and will see how to leverage common feature-extraction and measurement tools to categorize, sort, count, and graph their data.

Bring your questions to this live, interactive web-based seminar.

Subjects include:
  • Enhancing images for accurate processing
  • Performing thresholding operations to separate objects-of-interest from background
  • Utilizing spatial and morphological filters to differentiate populations of objects
  • Capturing and presenting your data
  • Archiving and databasing of images

Provided free of charge, this webinar is sponsored by MAG, the Microimaging Applications Group. MAG is a group of imaging companies who work together to provide an unparalleled range of microimaging solutions to science and industry.
