Image Processing Webinar

(23/7/2015)

So this is my second series of the Mathworks webinar. This time, we have had Brett Shoelson (a PhD and the Principal Application Engineer for Mathworks, specialized in image processing) to conduct the seminar on image processing by using an example form a research work in Finding Parasitic Infections with Matlab. 

Somehow the example from this seminar is more relevant in biological science (Parasitic Infections), however, the algorithm and techniques involved are absolutely relevant to computing and IT. We were introduced to some typical real-time challenges in the discipline, and some discussions about the possible approaches in dealing with them.

The part that I am really benefiting from this seminar is the techniques from computer vision and machine learning, which were used to automatically recognize (quantify as per said by the speaker) the target in the image set. In my own project, I will be focusing on computer vision to acquire real-time ground data, and this data will be then processed by some means of image processing probably involving machine learning. I downloaded the example codes and hopefully they will be pointing me to some relevant solutions for my project.
