Members of the Image Learning and Analytics Lab enjoying an end-of-summer retreat in August, 2015.
Overview
The Image Learning and Analytics Lab studies learning-based algorithms and tools to analyze, recognize, and quantify images. One major focus of the lab is automated analysis of high-dimensional high-throughput biological images such as the algorithms for analyzing cellular and subcellular objects in microscopic neuronal images and recordings. It is also our mission to provide open, effective, and user-friendly tools for the scientific community in order to meet the ever-increasing demand of complex and high content image data.
