Intelligent Image Data Services for Agricultural and environmental Innovations is a multidisciplinary project that aims to bring advanced image data analysis solutions from the health sector, based on artificial intelligence, to the use of the agriculture and environmental sectors of Southwest Finland. The project will develop web-based and remotely usable image data solutions on a broad scale.
Implementation: 1.6.2025-31.12.2027.

The project aims to develop and test advanced image analysis methods for monitoring the state of eutrophication in the Archipelago Sea and thus produce new information for planning, targeting water management measures in the archipelago and mitigating eutrophication. The development of the methods will utilize machine learning and artificial intelligence, which can be used to analyze large amounts of data quickly and identify trends and less obvious changes. The methods being developed can be applied to, for example, drone and aerial images, satellite images and remote sensing techniques. After the project is completed, the image analysis methods developed can be applied as environmental management tools and utilized, for example, in promoting the reed business in coastal areas. In this way, the project aims not only to reduce the nutrient load of the archipelago and improve the ecological state, but also to improve the conditions for business related to the maintenance of the archipelago.
Implementation: 1.1.2025-31.12.2025.

PIX4BUSINESS
Pix4Business is a business cooperation project of Turku BioImaging, the joint organization of the University of Turku and Åbo Akademi University, whose main goal is to increase the usability, effectiveness and productivity of image data produced by bioimaging in the RDI activities of life science companies in the Southwest Finland region. This project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (EAKR)
HEALTH CAMPUS TURKU 2.0
HCT produces rapidly growing amounts of data, with a large and constantly increasing proportion of it being medical and biological imaging data. HCT has already for several years had state-of-the-art imaging instruments and experienced personnel, and has been producing open access imaging services locally, nationally and internationally. However, services for data analysis are largely missing. Work Package 3 will provide the critical missing piece: Turku BioImaging Data Analysis Team (TBI-DAT), a dedicated service for data management, analysis, integration and interpretation. Importantly, the service will be developed together with local companies that produce a lot of complex data requiring analysis.
