Segment Anything in Python for Microscopy Data

About:

The Image Analysis Collaboratory and Nikon Imaging Center are running a workshop: Segment Anything (SAM) in Python. SAM is a deep learning-based segmentation model introduced by researchers at Meta. Originally SAM was trained with natural images, however, since its publication multiple different domain-specific fine-tuned models have been published. In this workshop, we will focus on using SAM using Python for different segmentation tasks and learn about different parameters to fine-tune results. Participation will be limited. The format will be a combination of tutorials and hands-on exercises.

Time:

Wednesday February 28th, 2024 from 1 PM to 5 PM.

Place:

Harvard Medical School. Tosteson Medical Education Center (TMEC) 332.

Format:

In-person.

Skill level:

Intermediate.

Requirements:

This course will be taught in Python so previous coding experience in Python and a laptop is required.

  1. Introduction to SAM
  2. Installation of SAM and relevant packages
  3. Segment everything and visualization
  4. Segment with points prompt
  5. Segment with box prompt
  6. Testing specialized SAM models such as micro-SAM

Cost:

Free of charge.
