About

We are pleased to announce that the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis (CMM) will be holding a 3D image processing course on 20 September, 2021*. The course is designed to teach researchers the IMOD software package (developed by Mastronarde Group, University of Colorado, Boulder.)  

This is a hands-on workshop that will be held face-to-face on campus.  The short course will provide users with practical experience in modelling and analysing 3D image data using a graphical user interface to the IMOD package and will concentrate on sample data sets provided by CMM.  Firstly, there will be a short introductory presentation, and this will be followed by guided step-by-step procedures. There will be time during and afterward to ask questions and practice working with the datasets.  

*If this class is over-subscribed, we will offer a second session on 24 September, 2021. Please register for the 20 September session using the form and we will liaise with you directly for your preferred session.

Topics covered

  • Basic principles of 2D and 3D Image processing  

  • Sub-volume extraction 

  • Manual segmentation 

  • Semi-automated segmentation 

  • 3D modeling and surface rendering 

Participants will work through sample data (provided by CMM) in CVL@Wiener. If you want to discuss your problematic data, please mention all details in the registration form (you’ll be contacted after the workshop to investigate the image processing issues related to your data in detail.  

Workshop prerequisites and restrictions

Class sizes will be restricted to six (6) to allow for maximum interaction and computing. 

Please note: you must have a CVL@Wiener account in order to participate in this class.

If you do not have a CVL account or need refreshing, pre-workshop sessions will be offered on 17 September, 2021. The pre-workshop session will be face-to-face on campus, and separate registration is required.
