These files are intended for use with the Image Processing with Python curriculum from Data Carpentry. Files will be useful for instructors teaching this curriculum in a workshop setting, as well as individuals working through these materials on their own.
This curriculum uses a variety of example images, chosen to illustrate different concepts and techniques in image processing. Several of the images might be described as biological or scientific - e.g. bacterial colonies, plant seedlings and root clusters, well plates - but others are of common objects, e.g. remote controls, paper shapes, etc.
Have questions about this data or the Data Carpentry lesson it is used in? Please contact The Carpentries.
