ABRF AI in Imaging Core Facilities Survey

For the purposes of this survey, we are defining Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an image analysis procedure that employs computer algorithms to interpret visual data, enabling tasks such as object detection, classification, and segmentation. By leveraging techniques like machine learning and deep learning, AI algorithms autonomously recognize patterns and features within images, facilitating advanced analysis and insights extraction.
