Abstract
Rapid advances in bioimage data acquisition technology made that image becomes the shining star in modern biology. Such image information of bioscience provides multidimensional digital data which quantitatively estimates complex natural phenomena. In future, numerical simulations with biophysics based on the image information may reveal mystery of living materials. We think that the key to reach such future from current biology is to integrate advanced image processing techniques into biology. Therefore, our team consisting of engineers, computer scientists, and biologists together has been working on developing new imaging and image processing techniques for biomedical data which are rich in variety of physical scales from organ to intracellular images. Medical image processing is highly advanced in computer science. However applying conventional methods to cellular and intracellular images is extremely difficult because of low signal-to-noise ratio imposed by hardware limitations and complex biological structures. On the other hand, these new problems raise a very challenging and interesting new field of study. Let's start with the bio-image processing together
