Image processing

EBImage provides general purpose functionality for image processing and analysis. In the context of (high-throughput) microscopy-based cellular assays, EBImage offers tools to segment cells and extract quantitative cellular descriptors. This allows the automation of such tasks using the R programming language and facilitates the use of other tools in the R environment for signal processing, statistical modeling, machine learning and visualization with image data.

EBImage is available through the Bioconductor software project (www.bioconductor.org). Strengths Lightweight Suitable for automated, scripted analyses All functions are documented with examples Modular links to R and Bioconductor software, notably imageHTS and cellHTS2 Community support via the Bioconductor mailing list Reproducible (image) analysis using the Sweave report-writing system

BioImageXD is a free open source software package for analyzing, processing and visualizing multi-dimensional microscopy images. It's a collaborative project, designed and developed by microscopists, cell biologists and software engineers from the Universities of Jyväskylä and Turku in Finland, Max Planck Institute CBG in Dresden, Germany and collaborators worldwide. BioImageXD was published in the July 2012 issue of Nature Methods.

COLORLAB is a component for processing, representing and reproducing color in a MATLAB environment. Among others, some of the functionalities it makes able to: -Represent the color content of any image in chromatic diagrams and tristimulus spaces in any system of primaries. -Compute advanced color descriptions of any image using several color appearance models (CIELab, CIEluv, ATD, Rlab, LLab, SVF and CIECAM). An userguide is provided.

This is a Matlab implementation of Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) texture descriptors that is robust to image blurring due to the use of phase information. Theoretical background could be found here: http://www.ee.oulu.fi/research/mvmp/mvg/files/pdf/ICISP08.pdf

This is a software toolbox that extends the original BSIF code allowing the utilization of a GPU in Matlab to compute the features. It contains: -Matlab function to calculate BSIF in CPU -Matlab function extension to calculate BSIF in GPU -Pre-learnt filters -Usage instructions
