EBImage-package {EBImage}R Documentation

Package overview

Description

EBImage is the image processing and analysis package for R. Its primary goal is to enable automated analysis of large sets of images such as those obtained in high throughput automated microscopy.

The package uses ImageMagick library for image I/O operations and for many image processing routines. Algorithms for image analysis are implemented natively including algorithms for feature extraction.

Image data are stored in objects of the class Image, which is derived as an S4 class from array and inherits all of its properties and methods.
