Digital imaging and artificial intelligence are increasingly being used to study living organisms. Recent advances in computer vision and deep learning have made it possible to develop image analysis methods that automate microscopy and extract quantitative information from generated images. This presentation will focus on research carried out by members of the Digital Imaging, Neurophotonics and Microscopy Laboratory (LINUM) in UQAM's Computer Science Department. The digital imaging techniques used by the LINUM team will be put into context, and then a few image analysis pipelines will be presented. A few research projects will be described in more detail, including the evaluation by optical microscopy of the effect of a lack of oxygen at birth on white matter and blood vessels, and drone imaging of the Montreal urban forest to assess tree health.
