Café Sci Cambridge: Watching Nature through the computer lens
Wed 15 May 2019
Espresso Library
Images are essential sources of information in biology, whether it comes to observing the inside of a single cell or the complex behavior of large populations of organisms. They are the starting material of bioimage analysis, the field of science exploring the design of computer-based methods to extract information from biological images.
Why would one want to outsource this important task to computers, and how can we do that? While the former question finds answers in the principles of scientific research, the latter leads to an investigation of visual perception and reveals the wonderful complexity of what happens when we, humans, see.
