INTRODUCTION TO USING DIGITAL IMAGES IN SCIENCE |
||
The semi-annual workshop on digital images will be given Aug. 12, 2009. Primary goals of the workshop are to persuade all attendees that the image is data, and to illustrate what can be done with those data and the ease with which they can be compromised. What constitutes a digital image, what goes into acquiring good images and jargon and concepts associated with digital images will also be described and illustrated. 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. A shameless plug for a course that covers those topics will be likely be injected at some point in the morning. The workshop will be held from 8:30AM to 1 PM in room 230 of Marley Bldg. To register for the workshop, go to: http://www.mcb.arizona.edu/imagingWorkshop.cfm and fill in the appropriate information. Registration is limited to the first 90 applications, so make your reservation soon.
