An Overview of 3D Image Processing Using Scikit-image

This presentation will introduce how to analyze three dimensional stacked and volumetric images in Python, mainly using scikit-image. Here we will study how to preprocess data using filtering, binarization and segmentation techniques. Also, we will inspect, count and measure attributes of objects and regions of interest in the data. We will finish the tutorial presenting tools to visualize 3D data.

A Bioimage Data Analysis Workflow with Scikit-image

Scikit-image is a well-established Python library boasting a wide collection of image processing algorithms. We show that it is well-suited for bioimage data analysis workflows by presenting a biological application from the literature. The dataset is a time sequence of microscopy images of human cells. The presentation is intended as a step-by-step, follow-along tutorial.
