Strategies for Image Processing of Cellular Assays?

[Hermann-Josef Kaiser]

Hi,

I am just starting with quantitative image analysis for cellular assays
(confocal microscopy) using ImageJ. So far, I have been dealing with
preconfigured algorithms on another software.
Now I want to start writing myself but I really need a guide to
introduce me to the main strategies that image processing and object
detection algorithms follow.
For instance, which series of steps do I take in order to decrease
pixel noise, or to define cellular compartments, or to mark membrane?
Does anybody know a good link, a pdf, or a recommendation for a book?

Thanks,
Hermann-Josef

IMHO, THE book is:

The Image Processing Handbook, Fourth Edition
John C. Russ

North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA

Expensive, but very good.
