Course objectives
This teaching contributes to developing a correct approach to image analysis and quantification. Given the plethora of digital image processing software available, priority will be given to the concepts behind image processing, analysis, and processes to be applied to the data.
It also enables students to deepen their knowledge and abilities in the use of the computer, in the manipulation of images, and in the extraction of quantitative data.
- Oggetto:
Results of learning outcomes
- Ability to use image analysis software, image manipulation programs, and image quantification.
- Understanding the characteristics of the digital image, the principles of morphometry, and statistical interpretation
- Ability to understand the technical and practical caveats of image processing and how to overcome those with basic practical principles.

Course delivery
The course will include two theoretical classes. The remaining of the course will consist of practical sessions, with exercises to be completed and discussed during the sessions.
During the classes, the teacher with an assistant will give hints to the students to complete the tasks, which will be revised together.

Learning assessment methods
The learning assessment is determined on the basis of the results of a series of laboratory, a final PowerPoint presentation in groups of maximum 3 people of a software tool chosen by the student (Image J plugin, or any other standalone software) that was not discussed during the laboratory, and a practical exam consisting in an excercise with the laptop.
The laboratory has compulsory attendance of 75%. Students can take the final exam based on the attendance obtained. The final evaluation (in thirtieths) includes the exercises carried out during the practical exam (60%) and the presentation (40%).- Oggetto:
