Our aim
The Image Analysis Unit aims to provide collaboration, resources, expertise, and breakthrough technologies regarding image analysis to scientists using any imaging technologies for their research in the north-east and beyond.
Who we are
The Image Analysis Unit was established to address the unmet needs of researchers within the north-east and beyond. It provides expertise, training, and guidance on image processing, analysis, and data visualisation.
Through our diverse team of scientists from varying backgrounds, we provide support to scientists to truly enhance their image processing and analysis procedures, enabling greater understanding of their data.
Given the increasing complexity required for high-reputation journal acceptances and the prevalence of machine learning and deep learning in the natural sciences, the Image Analysis Unit collaborates on projects from all disciplines, and offers a structured, reliable approach to enhance research quality and impact..
Our services
We provide direct one-to-one training in image processing/analysis techniques and software, and can provide access to high-end analysis servers with image processing software’s applicable to the full range of possible modalities

Funding requirement
Collaboration: For any collaborative project, funding must be available to pay on either an hourly basis or for a percentage of a staff member’s time.
Training: As training needs are diverse, charges are based on the time needed for direct one-to-one training sessions. Alternatively, lower-cost group sessions for more general skills are also available
Evidence requirements
As an analytical service, the only requirement is an image, with initial consultations for advice being free of any charge
