• Are you facing a problem in bioimage analysis?

    Have you’ve already spend hours/days on problem-solving and your results are, at best, unimpressive?

    You've come to the right place!

     

    Call 4 Help: BioImage Analysis

  • What is Call4Help?

    It's a go-to place for when you need help with your Image Data

    Originally a panel-discussion during the NEUBIAS2020 conference in Lisbon 2017, Call4Help has since evolved to its current form:

    A website bringing together members of the (Bio-)Image Data Scientist community and life-sciences to present their problems and share their suggested solutions.

     

    Here you can present your case, see other presentations and share your thoughts and hints. You can also find information about upcoming Call4Help events and how to take part in them.

  • It's simple

    Create a presentation, share it with the community and get hints on possible solutions

  • Guidelines

    To ensure all relevant information is available, please ensure that...

    • Your presentation takes no more than 3 minutes to present

    • You use our presentation template (we ask that you use Google Slides to facilitate sharing and commenting)

    • Your presentation includes

      • An introduction of the project's context to a broader audience

      • Example images (adapted for projector viewing -- big fonts, minimal text)

      • List of desired outputs and challenges in order of importance

      • (optional) Overview of what you have tried so far and where it worked/failed

    • You submit your presentation using our submission form 

    If you wish to present your case during the next Call4Help event

      • Let us know by marking it on your submission form
      • Be brief and keep it simple: If you have many questions, please split them into multiple presentations
      • Ensure that the images in your presentation are adjusted for maximum clarity of your message  (enhance contrast, use colormaps, etc.)

      Call4Help sessions during events - how does it work?

      • We simply run your problems one by one. Each case gets about 10 minutes - 3' for presentation, and 7' for discussion
      • Usually, the audience is very diverse - from life scientists via tool developers to computer vision experts - it gives you an opportunity to pick the brains of experts from many fields, simultaneously
      • During a session we make notes using Google Docs. You can find them on this site and add your thoughts also later

      Q&A

      • Q: I would like to include videos in the presentation. Is it possible?
        • A: Yes, however, to include a video in Google Presentation a video needs to be uploaded. Please use: Insert > Video and follow the on-screen instructions.
    • Submission Form

      Please submit your problem here

      ZIDAS 2019

      18-23 Jun. 2019, Zurich

      This one-week school provides a hands-on introduction to image processing and analysis, with an emphasis on biologically relevant examples. You will learn the fundamentals of image analysis, including basic macro programming in ImageJ/Fiji as well as other software solutions. In the first part of the week we will also cover the process of image-formationas it pertains to image analysis: Resolution, correct exposure, point-spread functions, detector noise, Shannon's sampling theorem, and aliasing. All with a clear focus on application in the lab. [more about the conference]
