WG 12 – Objectives

The Image Analysis and Visualization Working Group (WG 12) will provide guidelines for scientists to publish accessible and understandable images, including their reproducible processing and analysis procedures. Publishing of light microscopy image data should include key information about image acquisition (Link:WG11), image reconstruction, processing and analysis, as well as image visualisation and image data availability (safeguarding e.g. in repositories).

WG12 will provide a white-paper, guidelines, training materials, teaching slides with example images, and an application of the guidelines in a video-tutorial. WG12 has members from academic and corporate research, and publishing. Members are active in image analysis, image publishing, image software design, and data visualisation.
