Video bioinformatics focuses on understanding biological events on various timescales by analyzing spatiotemporal images. Fundamental to the success of this venture is the ability to automatically analyze these images to extract relevant information. For evaluation of an automated image analysis technique, one needs to have the image data, the ground-truth (i.e., the expected outcome), and a statistically meaningful testing process. The field of computer vision, which deals with the automated analysis of all sorts of images, has been making steady progress for years. It has benefited immensely by the availability of public datasets and shared software. This chapter surveys these databases and software. |
