EBImage {EBImage}R Documentation

Package overview

Description

EBImage is an image processing and analysis package for R. Its primary goal is to enable automated analysis of large sets of images such as those obtained in high throughput automated microscopy.

The package uses the ImageMagick library for image I/O operations and some image processing methods. The GTK library is used for displaying images using display.

EBImage relies on the Image object to store and process images but also works on multi-dimensional arrays.
