Microscope Image Processing

Digital image processing, an integral part of microscopy, is an important field of medicine and scientific research. This book provides a unique one-stop reference for the theory, technique, and applications of this technology.

Written by leading experts in the field, this book presents a unique perspective in the field of microscopy. It contains in-depth analysis of the real-world experiments. Microscope Image Processing covers image, autofocusing, and structured illumination.

Key Features:

. Detailed descriptions of many leading-edge methods and algorithms
. In-depth analysis of the method and experimental results, taken from real-life examples
. Emphasis on computational and algorithmic aspects of microscope image processing
. Advanced material on geometric, morphological, and wavelet image processing, fluorescence, three-dimensional and time-lapse microscopy, microscope image enhancement, Multi-functional imaging, and image data management

This book is of interest to all scientists, engineers, clinicians, post-graduate fellows, and graduate students working in the fields of biology, medicine, chemistry, pharmacology, and other related fields. Anyone who uses the methods of inviolability.
