Expected duration: 1 day or less For microbiology experiments, I want to be able to quantify the 'blueness' of photographed cell pellets (bacterial cells at the bottom of a centrifugation tube, see attached images, the pellet is white or blue part at the bottom of the tube). For this, I need a script (preferably in python) that will process a whole folder with a lot of highly similar jpg files, analyze where the pellet is on the picture, and save that part of the picture as a new jpg file (same file name, with suffix "_zoom") in a new folder (same folder name, with suffix "_zoom"). Background pixels should be transparent. Then the script should calcuate the median Red, Green and Blue color values within the pellet and write these values to a list (.csv or .txt), together with the total number of pixels in this zone used to calculate it, as well as the image file name as the identifier. Headers: "file name","nr of pixels ","Red","Green","Blue". I want to be able to run this python script on the raspberry Pi computer we use to control the camera. The script should ask for the location of the folder of images to process and ask for a file name to save the list, then process all the pictures in the specified folder. Let me know if you need more information, or if would need more example pictures to get started. I believe this is a clear assignment with limited complexity for a programmer with basic experience in image processing. I look forward to your offer!
