Abstract |
Imaging is center stage in biology. Advances in microscopy and labeling techniques have enabled unprecedented observations and continue to inspire new developments. Efficient and accurate quantification and computational analysis of the acquired images, however, are becoming the bottleneck. We review different paradigms of computational image analysis for intracellular, single-cell, and tissue-level imaging, providing pointers to the specialized literature and listing available software tools. We place particular emphasis on clear categorization of image-analysis frameworks and on identifying current trends and challenges in the field. We further outline some of the methodological advances that are required in order to use images as quantitative scientific measurements. |
