This tutorial will introduce the recent developments and techniques of 2D, 3D, 4D, and 5D microscopic image analysis and visualization, with a central theme of how to use Vaa3D, a powerful platform for various applications of bioimage informatics.
We will discuss new and exciting challenges in 2D/3D/4D/5D biological and microscopic image computing, as well as large-scale and very large-scale (gigabyte-size to terabyte-size images) visualization and interaction, – with a focus on microscopy images but can be generally useful for other large biomedical images and surface object visualization problems. We are also going to give a relatively detailed tutorial (and demonstration) on how to use Vaa3D for quantitative analysis.
Vaa3D itself (Nature Technology, 2010; Nature Protocols, 2013) is an increasingly used platform for multi-dimensional microscopic image related studies. This suite of software is open source, cross-platform, and has been used in many recent high-profile studies.
Join the tutorial for a hands-on, interactive half day experience to understand the key benefits of Vaa3D. Learn how to operate the software and streamline your analysis for complicated images. Learn how to write plugin programs within minutes and incorporate your favorite tools into Vaa3D.
