📢 @devTLB@mastodon.social and I’ve just published a review article titled **“Exploring Image Analysis in R: Applications and Advancements”** in *The R Journal* (Vol. 17, Issue 3).
🔍 The paper surveys #rstats image‑analysis packages, from the early work of *adimpro* and *EBImage* to the newer packages like *biopixR*. It shows that the majority of these packages are still active, with two‑thirds updated within the last 1.5 years. A robust and vibrant ecosystem for bioimage informatics.
📊 Key takeaways:
- Comprehensive overview of tools for multiplex imaging, cell tracking, and general-purpose analysis.
- Emphasis on end‑to‑end pipelines that extract meaningful biological insights from images.
- Real‑world examples demonstrating how R can address current scientific challenges in image analysis.
