Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
Wondering about different ways you might capture and process images
of vertebrates in drawers? Or perhaps figure out a new way to image
slides and paleo specimens and get the data transcribed? Inselect
software may give you some new options.<br>
<br>
<b>Webinar</b>: I<b>nsights into Inselect Software: automating image
processing, barcode reading, and validation of user-defined data</b><br>

<br>
This webinar will give an overview of the software, how it can be
integrated into existing digitization workflows and a discussion of
areas for development and possible future applications. The talk
will be of interest to curators, digitizers and IT staff. Inselect
is under active development - we are very excited to engage with the
community and receive feedback and ideas.<br>

The software combines image processing, barcode reading, batch
processing and validation of user-defined metadata to offer a high
level of automation. Inselect has been used by curators and
digitizers within the Natural History Museum, London, to process in
excess of 100,000 specimens so far and is presently being used by
several institutions on <strong>pinned insects, microscope slides,
paleontological specimens, dried sponges and other specimen types.<br>
