I'm a research and information technology professional. I have extensive experience and knowledge with programming (e.g. MATLAB, python, php, mysql, etc) across a wide array of scientific disciplines. My most recent experience involving image analysis was actually published. It required that I write an algorithm capable of taking in images, then segmenting, identifying, and evaluating ROIs based off a particular set of criteria. Your project doesn't sound terribly different from my own research and I'm confident I could do a good job.
