4 Day Course in Image Analysis for Industry

Designing Efficient Imaging Workflows
From real-time inspection to quantification, imaging is omnipresent in R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and life sciences — spanning scales, processes, and applications. Driven by advances in high resolution, high-dimensional imaging technologies and by the implementation of machine learning, image data has become significantly more powerful.
Building on the core principles of image processing, how to combine imaging, engineering, and deep learning to design more effective image analysis workflows that support higher quality control and more efficient automation? How can we unlock new opportunities for AI powered imaging, while addressing related risks and challenges?
