ImStatLab Image Analysis and Statistics Consultancy Lab

NEW: ImStatLab survey (Umfrage) see ...

ImStatLab is a consultancy unit at the Institute of Biomathematics and Biometry of the HelmholtzCenter Munich. Contact persons are H. Scherb and K. Rodenacker

A group of scientists within the IBB with the acronym ImStatLab (Image Analysis and Statistics consulting Laboratory) builds a consulting and service unit intended to serve as an interface between external scientists and the diverse IBB groups. This group provides assistance for the solution of practical problems, in particular in image analysis and statistics, but also in other fields of mathematics. Focus of this unit is to develop image analysis, statistics, and general mathematical applications as an integral part in interdisciplinary research, which requires mathematicians and statisticians to become vital and emancipated partners with subject matter scientists and engineers. Emphasis is on data analysis and data mining under the constraints of variability and uncertainty.

ImStatLab supports researchers especially in these fields:

Image analysis

  • Multidimensional Data, Pictures, Volumes
  • Quantification
  • Mapping
  • Recognition
  • Detection
  • Segmentation
  • Visualization

Image Analysis Tools

  • IDL (licensed in the center)
    Interactive Data Language
  • ImageJ (freeware)
    Image Processing and Analysis in Java

Statistics and data analysis

  • Design of experiments
  • Sample size, Power
  • Exploratory Analyses
  • Modeling
  • Heterogeneity (Change-Points, Overdispersion)
  • Exact inferential methods for small samples or skewed distributions
  • Logistic Regression
  • Resampling
  • Non-parametric Methods
