Between telescopes and satellite cameras and MRI machines and microscopes, scientists are producing more images than they can realistically look at. They need specialized viewers for multi-dimensional images, and automated tools to help process those images into knowledge. In this tutorial, we will cover the fundamentals of algorithmic image analysis, starting with how to think of images as NumPy arrays, moving on to basic image filtering, and finishing with a complete workflow: segmenting a 3D image into regions and making measurements on those regions. At every step, we will visualize and understand our work using matplotlib and napari.
Scientific Python Ecosystem Coordination (SPEC) documents (https://scientific-python.org/specs/) provide operational guidelines for projects in the scientific Python ecosystem. SPECs are similar to project-specific guidelines (like PEPs, NEPs, SLEPs, and SKIPs), but are opt-in, have a broader scope, and target all (or most) projects in the scientific Python ecosystem. Come hear more about what we are working on and planning. Better yet, come share your ideas for improving the ecosystem!
