Introduction to Scientific Digital Imaging - workshop

 

This semi-annual workshop will be held Aug. 18, 2011.   The primary goals of
the workshop are to show that the image is really data, to illustrate what
can be done with those data, and the ease with which they can be
compromised.  Presentations will include what constitutes a digital image,
what goes into acquiring good images, as well as jargon and concepts
associated with digital images.  These include such topics as pixels,
resolution, over-saturation, color space, image format, bit depth, and image
processing filters.  While the use of digital images is common in a wide
variety of scientific disciplines, the majority of examples will come from
the world of microscopy.  Options and formats for presentation of images
will also be presented, as will a discussion of the ethical (and not so
ethical) use of digital images.  It should be noted that this is NOT a
workshop on image analysis, microscope techniques or a Photoshop tutorial.
