Abstract:
Retaining raw, high-quality microscopy data is critical for reproducible research, quantitative analysis, and AI-based workflows. But as imaging pipelines generate increasingly large, high-resolution, multidimensional datasets, research labs and facilities face growing challenges in transferring, processing, sharing, and storing raw data at scale. Is compression a solution?
This talk examines what raw image data really is - how it serves as a physical measurement and what’s required to preserve its scientific value. We will explore the limitations of existing image quality metrics (e.g., PSNR) and why updated evaluation methods are needed to meet the demands of modern bioimage analysis.
In closing, we will present a data management approach featuring a new compression method that retains the full integrity of raw microscopy data while significantly reducing file size, making large-scale data easier and faster to work with.
Bio:
Dr. Bruno Sanguinetti, co-founder and CEO of Dotphoton, transitioned from years of academic research in quantum optics to leading innovations in quantum cryptography and metrology technologies. His expertise spans cryptographic functions, photonic information processing, sensor characterization, image compression, and image quality assessment, uniquely positioning him to lead the future of Jetraw. Bruno is also a member of the ITU/WHO Focus Group on AI for Health, contributing to AI technology standardisation, and co-chairs the QUAREP-LiMi WG10, focusing on image quality metrics.
The seminar is followed by an aperitif.
