Well yes, basically we need an easy to use image analysis setup for both applications, and many others.
There are many image-related tools available, but most are for face recognition and robotics and word recognition… there’s a powerful android app (not open source) but does show off the image recognition stuff using google’s tensorflow called ImageAnalysisToolset (IAT)…
Open source stuff (I think) is ImageJ, Open CV and it’s less complicated cousin Simple CV. It would be nice if there was an accessible, fully open source one with applications useful in science (good edge detection, color, etc. etc.) … dunno if folks know of other sources, I’v elooked into it a little bit but not a ton.
