Image Analysis In Biology

  • Chapter
Histology, Ultrastructure and Molecular Cytology of Plant-Microorganism Interactions

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant Pathology ((DIPP,volume 7))

Abstract

Image analysis [1,2] is used to extract quantitative information from images of any source. Progress has resulted from advances in computing science, and nowadays image analysis is widely used for increasingly more sophisticated tasks in the laboratory and in industry, in material science as well as in biology.
