Imaging Lunch: nD Image Visualisation with Open-Source Tools

Our in-house experts Mallory Wittwer and Edward Andò will give a workshop on nD Image Visualisation with Open-Source Tools during our next imaging lunch. Open to all EPFL PhD students and Postdocs!

Starting from the relatively easy case of a greyscale 2D image and going all the way to a multichannel 3D image evolving in time, we will discuss and illustrate image visualisation.

Audience: Scientists, engineers, PhD and masters students. No programming or mathematical knowledge is required.

The important topic of visualisation will be covered in two main sections:

Concepts in image visualisation:

• Lookup tables and Colormaps
• Transparency and overlays
• Glyphs: Points, objects, flowlines and vector fields
• 3D→2D projections for volume inspection
• Volume rendering

Software packages for visualisation with examples:

• Matlplotlib and Fiji
• Paraview and tomoPy
• Pyvista
• Napari
• Neuroglancer

Feel free to come with your data for which you have visualisation questions!

Registration required

About the Imaging Lunches: Once per month, the EPFL Center for Imaging organises an event dedicated to all PhD students and postdocs working with/in imaging. Discuss the latest advances in imaging. Connect with imaging peers. Learn about popular imaging tools!
