Introduction to data analysis
and image processing with MATLAB | 5th Edition
25-27 March 2019 | i3S, Porto
Quantification is an essential component in every scientific domain, and the ability to extract more information from the data is a fundamental asset. This is an introductory "hands-on" course where the concepts and techniques will be explored directly in the MATLAB environment. MATLAB is a well-established tool in scientific and technical computing, with key advantages such as being extremely versatile/powerful and easy to learn. This course is especially suited for people engaged in research wanting to start using MATLAB in the context of scientific data analysis and image processing (quantification). Participants are invited to bring their own data and an analysis problem of interest to be addressed in the course (as a project), with the help of the tutors.
Lecturer: Paulo de Castro Aguiar, i3S / INEB
TA: Ana Filipa Gerós, i3S / INEB
Prerequisites: None – previous experience with MATLAB is not required
Participants are asked to bring their laptops (a MATLAB trial version is available)
