CAIMAN : CAncer IMage Analysis
CAIMAN is an Image Analysis internet-based project that combines the strength of open-source web-based scripting languages, the powerful high-level technical computing language MATLAB, and the vast literature on image analysis and computer vision to provide a user-friendly web-page where any person can upload cancer-related images and execute analysis algorithms and obtain quantitative measurements related to their images.
The algorithms available at the moment at CAIMAN are:
- measuring cellular migration for scratch wound assays,
- vasculature tracing with a scale space ridge tracing,
- shading correction based on a signal envelope estimation retrospective algorithm,
- Endothelial cell segmentation using a chromatic segmentation algorithm.
More algorithms will be available in the future.
CAIMAN is accessible through this website: http://www.caiman.org.uk
