Goal

The goal of the Bachelor/Master thesis is the pattern matching of such images. The images must be extracted from a nd2 file (bioformat library) and afterwards features must be defined for the matching with images of a database.

Workflow

  • Literature research
  • Implementation in Matlab or C++ with OpenCV
  • Development and evaluation of the system
  • Written report or bachelor thesis (in English) and final presentation

Requirements

  • Matlab, or C++ and OpenCV
