Center for Bio-Image Informatics

Biological images are critical components for a detailed understanding of the structure and functioning of cells and proteins. Image processing and analysis tools increasingly play a significant role in better harvesting this vast amount of data, most of which is currently analyzed manually and qualitatively. A number of image analysis tools have been proposed to automatically extract the image information. As the studies relying on image analysis tools have become widespread, the validation of these methods, in particular, segmentation methods, has become more critical. There have been very few efforts at creating benchmark datasets in the context of subcellular, cell and tissue imaging...
